Call For Papers

NoF 2026 (International Conference on the Network of the Future) is an academic conference held in Rome, Italy on 2026-09-29. The paper submission deadline is 2026-05-08. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-07-06.

Internet has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, driven by high-performance computing, programmable network equipment, and the emergence of new generation services. The 17th International Conference on Network of the Future (NoF) invites 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, programmability, sustainability, scalability, security standardization, business and legal aspects, just to name a few. The conference aims at providing a forum for researchers, students, and professionals to exchange ideas, share their experiences, and discuss their research results around a single-track of technical sessions and a series of keynote speeches. NoF 2026 will be held in the beautiful city of Rome, Italy. Rome is the Eternal City, welcoming visitors with its unique blend of history, beauty, and atmosphere. Built on seven legendary hills and crossed by the “blond” Tiber River, it displays millennia of art and architecture, from the Colosseum and the Pantheon to Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain. Its skyline, marked by domes and ancient bridges, opens to vast green spaces such as Villa Borghese and the Appia Antica Park. From the Pincio Terrace or the Janiculum Hill, every view tells the story of a city that is eternal yet ever new. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Topics of Interest Networks 5G and Beyond (B5G) networks Virtual networks and networking for cloud computing Overlay networks Intermittently connected networks Wireless networks and cellular networks Wireless sensor networks Access, metro, backbone and core networks Next-generation carrier-grade networks Vehicular ad hoc networks and intelligent transportation systems Communications and applications for unmanned aerial vehicles Wireless communications for Concentrated Solar Power fields Mesh and ad hoc networks Internet of Things networks and IoT-assisted wireless networks Information-centric networks Enterprise networks and campus networks Time-sensitive networks Data center networks Optical networks IP networks Home networks SCADA networks and distributed control systems Smart cities and smart grids Resilient networks Sustainable and inclusive networks Industrial and smart manufacturing networks Communication and computing infrastructures for disaster management Communication infrastructures for AR/VR/XR/metaverse computing Energy efficiency in networks Edge and fog computing/networking Centralized-RAN, Could-RAN, Fog-RAN and Open-RAN architectures Non-Terrestial-Networks (NTN) Enablers Quality of Service and Traffic Engineering Network Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Reasoning Network Data Analytics, Anomaly Detection, Feature Extraction Network Automation and Orchestration Autonomic, Cognitive and Intent-Based Networking Zero-touch Networks B5G/6G Network Architecture, Services and Protocols B5G/6G Control and Management Architecture B5G/6GFunctional Decomposition and Composition Advanced B5G Infrastructure Slicing and Radio Slicing Scalability and multi-tenancy in B5G Network Programmability and Softwarization Protocols for Ultra-Low Latency and Ultra-High Reliability Fog, Edge and Multi-Access Computing Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and High Availability Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Orchestration Service Function Chaining and Virtual Network Embedding Big data and Fast Data Processing and Management CDN Architectures and Network Cache Allocation Schemes Advanced multimedia and Real-Time Communications Performance, Optimization and Resource Allocation Security, Trust and Privacy Use of Blockchains in Networking and Servicing Energy-Aware Networking Delay/Disruption-tolerant Networkingtion, feature extraction Network automation and orchestration Zero-touch Networks Autonomic, cognitive and intent-based Networking 5GB/6G Network architecture, services and protocols 5GB/G6 control and management architecture 5GB/6G functional decomposition and composition Advanced 5GB infrastructure slicing and radio slicing Scalability and multi-tenancy in 5GB Network programmability and softwarization Protocols for ultra-Low latency and ultra-high reliability Fog, Edge and Multi-Access Computing Software Defined Networking (SDN) Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Orchestration Service function chaining and virtual network embedding Big data and fast data processing and management CDN architectures and network cache allocation schemes Advanced multimedia and real-time communications Performance, optimization and resource allocation Security, Trust and Privacy Use of Blockchains in networking and servicing Energy-aware networking Delay/Disruption-tolerant networking Business and Legal Aspects Economic aspects Multi-stakeholder aspects Service level agreements Lifecycle aspects Process and workflow aspects Legal perspective Regulatory perspective Privacy aspects Methods Mathematical optimization Control theory Probability theory, stochastic processes, and queueing theory Machine/Reinforcement/Federated/Deep learning and artificial intelligence Evolutionary algorithms Economic theory and game theory Mathematical logic and automated reasoning Data mining and (big) data analysis Monitoring and measurements Computer simulation experiments Prototype implementation and testbed experimentation Field trials
