Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or a journal. Full papers (up to 8 camera-ready pages, 10pt font in IEEE format) should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the conference. Short papers are an opportunity to present preliminary or interim results and are limited to 4 camera-ready pages. Short papers will be presented in a poster session. Both full and short papers are published in the proceedings and IEEE Xplore. All papers must include title, complete contact information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page. IEEE reserves the right to remove papers from IEEE Xplore that are not presented at the conference.
Paper submission:
Papers must be registered on EDAS and submitted in PDF format. Detailed submission instructions are available at the conference website.
Direct your questions to the Program Chairs:
Jens Toelle (jens.toelle-AT-fkie.fraunhofer.de) and
Kemal Akkaya (kakkaya-AT-fiu.edu)
Demonstrations:
Proposals are solicited for research demonstrations. A proposal (no more than 3 pages) should describe the scope, significance and required equipment. Proposals should be submitted via EDAS to the LCN Demo Track.
