Networks 2014 will focus on the challenges of planning and design networks to deliver on the promise of convergence of the information and communication technologies (ICT) and next generation networks (NGN). The challenges are many: how to build high performance networks for converged services where every step is cost justified and drives profitable growth, where difficult issues of scalability, end-to-end network performance, network management, network and service control, reliability, security and interoperability are planned and then realized, and where flexibility is maintained to allow experimentation with new applications that can foster new and compelling revenue streams for operators. Unleashing the core value of convergence requires innovation in network planning methods, scalable architectures, new optimization algorithms, and understanding the tradeoffs between different technology choices and migration paths. Networks 2014 is the 16th of such symposia, held every two years, and attracting participants from all over the world: network operators, software companies, system integrators, researchers from universities and industry, marketers and policy-makers, regulators. At Networks 2014 we will continue the tradition of state-of-the art papers, invited presentations, and panel sessions, as international experts present their latest findings and share experiences in network strategy, planning, operations, management, control and design. May we invite you to participate in Networks 2014.

Dear Students attending Networks 2014 Conference,
Professor Miroslav was a great researcher and a real friend who left us way before he should. Great person and great researcher! We devote this 1st Doctoral Challenge to him and to his family.
In order to apply to the challenge, which will result in a 500€ cash prize, you will have to submit to info.networks2014@av.it.pt, with the subject 1ST DOCTORAL CHALLENGE, up to 24H00 GMT of 16th/September a filled version of the attached template.
The topic may be centered in some part of the PhD work or the whole… you choose… remember just that the time is really limited and the juri has to fully follow it in a 4 min pitch at the special session for the challenge evaluation. The prize will be attributed in the closing session.
Let your work shine… submit it to the 1st Doctoral Challenge.
Best regards, the conference chair
Antonio Teixeira

IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g. removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
Accepted papers will be included in Networks 2014 Proceedings to be submitted to IEEE Xplorer.
At least one of the authors will be required to register and attend the symposium to present the paper in order to include the paper in the conference proceedings. All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore.
