Call for Papers
8th Euro-NF Conference on Next Generation Internet
NGI 2012
June 25-27, 2012
Blekinge Institute of Technology, Karlskrona, Sweden
Overview
Following the past successful conferences, NGI 2012 focuses on the design, engineering, and operation of Next Generation Internet networks. It is organized by the Network of Excellence (NoE) Euro-NF, funded by the European Commission during the 7th Framework Program. Euro-NF serves as its main platform for interaction, dissemination, and collaboration. To stimulate discussions, NGI 2012 invites scientists and practitioners from industry and academia, and especially welcomes contributions from outside Euro-NF.

Submission Guidelines
Submissions will be done through the EDAS system.
All conference papers are expected to follow the format of the IEEE templates. Papers must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Submitted full papers must not be longer than 8 pages. A paper must contain a short abstract (up to 250 words), the complete list of authors including affiliations, and keywords. Please use Word template or LaTeX macros unchanged. If you are not using either of these formats, please contact the conference chair. For demonstrators, please submit an extended abstract of max. 2 pages.
