The network of the future is envisioned as an effective, intelligent, adaptive, active and high performance Internet that can enable applications ranging from smart cities to tsunami monitoring. The network of the future will be a network of billions or trillions of entities

(devices, machines, things, vehicles) communicating seamlessly with one another and is rapidly gaining global attention from academia, industry, and government.

The International Conference on Future Network Systems and Security aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia, practitioners from industry, standardization bodies, and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions for the evolution of the future Internet. The technical discussion will be focused on the technology, communications, systems and security aspects of relevance to the network of the future.

The technical topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to:

-future Internet architecture and technologies

-access network technologies and capillary networks;

-channel and traffic models;

-spectrum management for M2M/IoT radio communications;

-RFID, sensors, actuator technologies;

-IoT network infrastructure;

-IoT security protocols;

-IPv6 and wireless sensor networks;

-Privacy in applications of the IoT;

-IoT networking and communication security,

-Circuit and system design for secure smart objects,

-Security, trust, and privacy issues for devices and services;

-naming, address management and end-to-end addressability;

-cloud computing interworking;

-semantic technologies;

-smart grids and smart spaces

-Methods for security analysis and audit

-Privacy and anonymization techniques

-Secure cloud of things

-Trust management architectures

-Lightweight security solutions

-Authentication and access control

-Identification and biometrics

-Liability and policy enforcement

-Security of Big data

Each submitted paper must be original and unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere (copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of the authors). Each paper will be reviewed by at least three experts in the relevant field ensuring the publication of only top quality contributions. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors should register and present orally the paper in the conference. Failure to do so shall lead to exclusion of the paper from the proceedings.

FNSS 2017 proceedings will be published by Springer as part of the Communications in Computer and Information Science series (http://www.springer.com/series/7899). Extended versions of selected FNSS2017 papers will be invited for a journal special issue.

Authors should prepare their manuscripts carefully in adherence to Springer requirements using the template available at: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (10 to 20 pages in length) electronically through the EDAS (http://edas.info/N23530) system using the standard Springer template. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all submissions must be done through EDAS.
