Objectives :

The conference “NGI 20nn” will continue to be organized annually. The main objective of this conference is to provide a forum for the presentation of high quality, peer-reviewed papers relating to the modelling, design and engineering of the future Internet networks. The conference scope mirrors that of Euro-NF and covers network architecture, traffic engineering management and control, cost effective and reliable multi-layer network design, experimental evaluations, mathematical modelling and the evaluation of socio-economic impacts. Previous conferences of this series have been successfully organized by the networks of excellence Euro-NGI/FGI in Rome (2005), Valencia (2006), Trondheim (2007) and Krakow (2008).

Description of work

The conference will be organized annually by members of the consortium in late Spring in order to minimize the risk of timing conflicts.

The call for papers will be issued in good time and will be broadcasted to a wide range of people within the research community, even outside Europe.

A technical program committee will be set up for the reviewing of the submitted papers, based on the key persons of the labs participating to Euro-NF, plus other relevant experts of the international scientific community. The accepted papers will be collected into proceedings.

Also, a number of invited presentations from well-known experts will be proposed.

The conference will be evaluated with respect to its integration and dissemination results
