CALL FOR DEMOS NOF 2022

The 13th International Conference on Network of the Future (NoF) is 
inviting authors to submit original contributions in the area of Future 
Internet design, with emphasis on enabling and cutting-edge technologies 
from the perspectives of specification, design and analysis related to 
network of future architecture, applications, services, management, 
scalability, or standardization.

The NoF 2022 Demo Sessions aim at offering a venue for the latest 
breakthroughs in the topics of interest of NoF 2022 to be presented live 
in interaction with the audience. Demos ranging from working prototypes, 
novel applications and ground-breaking ideas to live experiments in the 
areas shaping future networks are welcome.  We also encourage demos from 
industrial researchers.

SUBMISSION DEADLINES
Prospective authors are invited to submit Demo proposals in the form of 
a 3-page paper in IEEE conference double-column format, preferably 
incorporating a demo system architecture illustration. The proposal 
should be a summary or extended abstract describing the research to be 
presented and it should include:
- a motivation of the demo;
- a clear statement of what will be demonstrated, key networking 
concepts that are involved and the specific contribution with respect to 
related work;
- what NoF 2022 attendees will experience during the demonstration, 
possibly with visual outcomes to highlight the interest of the demo;
- relevant references, in particular if the demo is related to a paper 
being submitted in the main conference;
- the demo setup and technical requirements.

Authors are also encouraged to optionally include in the paper 
submission a link that opens a quite short (1-3 min) video illustrating 
the demo and its scope.

Demo papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS in PDF format 
only at https://edas.info/N29432

For specific details about submission format and procedure, please check 
https://nof2022.dnac.org/call-for-demos/

WHY SHOULD YOU SUBMIT A DEMO
The demo sessions at NoF 2022 will provide an excellent opportunity to 
give ongoing projects early visibility and obtain valuable feedback on 
ongoing research.
Demo papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted proposals will be 
included in the conference proceedings provided to NoF 2022 attendees 
and will be subsequently submitted to IEEE Xplore.
At least one author of each accepted demo proposal is required to 
register to NoF 2022 conference and present the demo at the scheduled 
demo session.

IMPORTANT DATES
-   Demo Paper submission deadline: August 31, 2022
-   Demo Paper acceptance notification: September 7, 2022
-   Camera-ready Papers: September 15, 2022
