CSCN 2015 - IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (IEEE CSCN)

IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (IEEE CSCN) in
Tokyo, Japan, 28-30 October 2015. IEEE CSCN 2015 will take place immediately preceding and located
adjacent to IETF’s 94th Plenary in Yokohama, Japan.

Standards play a key role in the success of the communications industry, as enablers of global systems
interoperability. IEEE CSCN aims for closing the gap between researchers, scientists and standards
experts from academia, industry and different standardization bodies. It will serve as a platform for
presenting and discussing standards-related topics in the areas of communications, networking and
related disciplines, facilitating standards development as well as cooperation among the key players.
Please note the following important dates and consider contributing your work:
---
Submission deadline: 15 May 2015
Acceptance notification: 15 August 2015
Camera ready: 5 September 2015

IEEE CSCN is inviting submission of high quality technical as well as visionary papers, which will be
reviewed and selected by an international Technical Program Committee (TPC) representing both
academia and industry, with a strong standardization background. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to, enhancements to existing systems and communication protocols developed by standards
bodies such as ITU-T, IEEE, IETF, 3GPP, ETSI, OMA, GSMA, Broadband Forum, Metro Ethernet Forum,
oneM2M, ONF, among others. Visionary papers on hot topics, such as Advanced 5G Radio Access and
Network Infrastructure, Converged Access Networks, Optical Networks, Twisted Pair and Coaxial Access
Networks, Software Defined Networks and Services, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), and other
works in progress being currently discussed by the standardization bodies will be included. The
conference will also solicit papers on the relationship between innovation and standardization,
technology governance of standards, the history of standardization, tools and services related to any or
all aspects of the standardization lifecycle, and compatibility and interoperability, including testing
methodologies and certification to standards.
