The 9th International Conference on Future Networks and Communications
August 17-20, 2014, Niagara Falls, Canada.
http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/fnc-14/

Future Networks and Communications (FNC) research effort will help  
achieving a major promise of the emerging technologies such as,  
ubiquitous access to broadband, supporting vital applications in our  
daily lives such as health, energy consumption, environment transport,  
entertainment or education. The scope of FNC is the development of  
energy-efficient future network infrastructures that support the  
convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous mobile, wired and  
wireless broadband network technologies as enablers of the future  
Internet. This includes but not limited to ubiquitous fast broadband  
access and ultra-high speed end-to-end optical connectivity,  
supporting open services and innovative ambient applications. Scope  
also embraces novel and evolutionary approaches to tackle network  
architectures, taking due consideration of users and societal needs  
for success.
