The 11th International Conference on Network of the Future ( NoF) is inviting authors to submit demo paper proposals 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, implementation, scalability, 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. The program will also include tutorials.
Initially planned in Bordeaux, France, NoF 2020 will run as a fully virtual web-based event, due to the uncertainty raised by the Covid-19 pandemics.

Submission guidelines
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 also describe in detail what NoF 2020 attendees will experience during the demonstration. The proposal should indicate the demo background, and further focus on the demo settings and the application, possibly with visual outcomes to highlight the interest of the demo.
Authors are also encouraged to optionally include in the paper submission a link that opens a quite short (1-3min) video illustrating the demo and its scope. Demo papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS in PDF format only. See https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=27007&track=103381
Demo papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted demo papers will be included in the electronic conference proceedings provided to NoF 2020 attendees and will be subsequently submitted to IEEE Xplore.
At least one author of each accepted demo proposal is required to register to NoF 2020 conference and present the demo at the scheduled demo session.
