Call for contributions - FIA Valencia 2010

Towards the Future Internet - Emerging Trends from European Research

The Future Internet continues to gather momentum in the scientific and industrial community. The Future Internet Assembly (FIA) consists of more than 90 projects which have now signed the Bled Declaration. On April 14-16 2010, with the support of the Spanish EU Presidency, the fifth Future Internet Assembly will take place in Valencia. We would like to mark this milestone with a second scientific book containing the best results of European Future Internet research, in the same vein as the first edition published concomitantly with FIA Prague last May 2009.

We therefore invite submissions in the form of extended abstracts (max. 4x A4 pages) of high quality papers in all areas of research related to the Future Internet. In particular, we strongly welcome papers which could address cross-domain topics of the main thematic areas of the FIA, such as networking architectures, content networks, services and applications, interactions with the real world, as well as integral areas such as socio-economics, trust and identity, experimental research and large-scale testbeds.

The selection process will be executed in stages and will combine the results of a peer review process and the opinion of the FIA constituency, assuring originality, foresight and a balance of topics. The best contributions will be invited to present their paper at a poster session during the 4th Future Internet Assembly which will take place in Stockholm on 23-24 November 2009. At the poster session, the FIA constituency will be invited to express its opinion on the contributions. The opinion of the FIA constituency will be used to invite the best contributions for the development of full papers.

At the Future Internet Conference in Valencia, best contributions will be presented with an award.
