The 2017 International Conference on Future Networks and Distributed Systems (ICFNDS 2017) aims at addressing advances in research on distributed systems and future networks, covering topics ranging from enabling technologies to emerging applications and industrial experiences. ICFNDS aims to encourage both researchers and practitioners to exchange and share their experiences and recent studies in an interactive atmosphere. Authors are solicited to contribute original, unpublished contributions in all aspects of future networking and distributed systems. Submitted articles must not be concurrently considered elsewhere for publication.



The ICFNDS 2017 proceedings will be published as part of the International Conference Proceedings Series published by the ACM and available online from the ACM Digital Library.
