Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or a journal.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, 10 pt 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 Program Chairs:
Salil Kanhere (salilk@cse.unsw.edu.au) and Jens Tölle (jens.toelle@fkie.fraunhofer.de)

Workshops

A number of workshops will be co-located with the conference. Details will be posted on the conference web site. To propose a workshop contact the workshop chair: Soumaya.Cherkaoui@usherbrooke.ca. Workshop papers will be published in the LCN proceedings and IEEE Xplore.

Demonstrations

Proposals are solicited for research demonstrations. A proposal (no more than 3 pages) should describe the scope, significance and required equipment. Submit proposals via EDAS to the LCN Demo Track.
