SECON 2014 - 2014 IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication, and Networking

The eleventh annual IEEE SECON conference will provide a unique forum to exchange innovative research ideas, recent results, and share experiences among researchers and practitioners in the field of sensing and communication in wireless networks. The focus of SECON is novel communication technologies and emerging applications and services, involving mobile sensing and communication, cyber-physical systems, and ubiquitous and pervasive computing.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Papers describing original, previously unpublished research work, experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and commercial developments in all aspects of sensor and wireless communications and networking are solicited. Within this domain, particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Software Defined Networking for mobile and wireless networks
Network coding, MIMO, compressed sensing
White space, cooperative and cognitive communications
Novel smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications and experiences
Novel applications: cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, distributed mobile computing
New technologies, e.g. UWB, RFID, NFC, visible light & underwater communications
Low power and energy limited sensing and communications, including energy-harvesting
Cellular communications and data networks
Mesh, ad-hoc, vehicular, and disruption tolerant networks
Measurement of wireless and sensor systems, and novel experimental testbeds
Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile, wireless and sensor systems
Survivability, network management, and fault tolerance
Modeling, algorithms, and performance evaluation
MAC, network, transport, application protocols and cross-layer design
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal. All papers for IEEE SECON 2014 must be submitted electronically via the EDAS system: http://edas.info/. Papers must be no longer than 9 pages and in font size no smaller than 10 points. Additional paper submittal instructions can be found on the conference web-site: http://www.ieee-secon.org. Papers that violate the format guidelines will be rejected without review.
To be published in the IEEE SECON 2014 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full or limited (member or non-member) rate. Each paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chairs grant permission for a substitute presenter. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to three papers. Accepted final papers will be published in the IEEE SECON 2014 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®. All accepted papers will shepherded to ensure that the reviewers’ feedback is incorporated in the camera ready version.
The organizers of IEEE SECON 2014 as well as our attendees expect accepted papers to be presented at the conference. 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.
