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.
