Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or a journal. Full Regular papers (maximum 8 pages, 10 pt font in IEEE format) should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the conference. Short papers (up to 4 pages) are an opportunity to present preliminary or interim results on hot topics in a poster session. The Doctoral track provides a supportive setting for Ph.D. students to discuss their problem statement, goals, methods and results (up to 6 pages), obtain feedback from established researchers and establish contacts for entering the job market. The Symposium track (maximum 6 pages) aim is to enable timely discussion of novel ideas and challenging future directions on emerging topics in networking. 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: Sharief Otaefy (SOTEAFY@depaul.edu) and Eyuphan Bulut (ebulut@vcu.edu), and to Kanchana Thilakarathna (kanchana.thilakarathna@sydney.edu.au) regarding the Symposium track.
