In recent years the Internet evolution has undergone a remarkable and unstoppable change of trend, rooted on three main pillars: New technologies (cloud computing, SDN, NFV, etc.), broad connectivity (4G/5G, VANET, FANET, etc.), and the wide deployment of smart edge devices (smart phones, sensors, wearables, etc.), all setting the main concept for the Internet of Things (IoT) and encompassing scenarios such as smart cities, ITS (intelligent transportation systems), smart grid, smart homes, or e-health.

Med-Hoc-Net 2018 extends its focus far beyond traditional networking concepts, highlighting new concepts related to the mentioned three main pillars developed for the future generation of network and cloud computing technologies. Med-Hoc-Net 2018 will accommodate contributions on smart mobile scenarios, focusing on highly relevant developments but also preliminary ideas and concepts in the ICT area, aiming at facilitating the development of new technologies and services with a high societal impact.

Following successful workshops at Sardinia Island (2002), Mahdia (2003), Bodrum (2004), Porquerolles Island (2005), Lipari Island (2006), Corfu Island (2007), Mallorca Island (2008), Haifa (2009), Juan-Les-Pins (2010), Favignana Island (2011), Ayia Napa (2012), Corsica Island (2013), Piran (2014), the Algarve (2015), Barcelona (2016), and Budva (2017), Med-Hoc-Net 2018 will take place on the island of Capri, Italy, in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.
