Technical Session: Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers in English, which are not under review in any other conferences or journals. Submission should be in form of a PDF file of a minimum paper length of three (3) pages and a maximum paper length of six (6) pages, prepared in accordance with IEEE author guidelines. Accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore Digital Library and will be indexed in EI and other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. A submitted paper may be accepted as a short paper (to be presented in a poster session). NOTE: To be published in the proceedings, for each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register for the conference at the full rate and the paper must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. Remote presentation (e.g. Skype) is not permitted without an unavoidable reason such as a natural disaster. NOTE: Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a Wiley’s International Journal of Network Management (IJNM) Special Issue (SCIE).
Innovation Session: APNOMS 2017 will include innovation sessions to present and discuss ongoing research, work-in-progress ideas, practical solutions, and experimental studies. Authors are requested to submit PDF documents in a special format (should have a visual in the upper half of a page and the explanatory text in the lower half, and must not exceed twenty (20) annotated visuals including title and references). Innovation papers will be included in conference proceedings but will NOT be submitted to any A&I databases. The copyright of accepted papers will belong to the author(s). The author(s) may transfer the copyright to a journal publisher if the same content or its extended version is submitted separately to a journal.
