Paper registration: April 5, 2013
http://www.ieeelcn.org Citigate Central, Sydney, Australia October 21-24, 2013
The IEEE LCN conference is the premier conference on the leading edge of theoretical and practical aspects of computer networking. LCN is a highly interactive conference that enables an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers. For the past 37 years, major developments from high-speed local networks to the global Internet to specialized sensor networks have been reported at this conference.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Personal and wearable networks - Wireless ad hoc, sensor and RFID networks - Information-centric networking - Embedded networks - Opportunistic networking - Delay-tolerant networks - Cognitive radio networks - Vehicular and underwater networks - Social Networks - Mobile and ubiquitous networking - Green networking - Overlay and peer-to-peer networks - Local-area and metropolitan-area networks - Storage-area networks - Optical and high-speed access networks - Home and SOHO networks - Physical and link layer protocols - Link technologies - Adaptive networking applications - Authentication, authorization, accounting - Security and privacy - Cross-layer optimization - Mobility and Location-dependent services - Multimedia and real-time communication - Machine-to-Machine communications for smart environments - Network management, reliability, and QoS - Network traffic characterization and measurements - Performance evaluation/engineering - Testbeds for experiments and simulations - Network coding
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or a journal.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 the Program Chairs: Damla Turgut turgut@eecs.ucf.edu and Nils Aschenbruck aschenbruck@uni-osnabrueck.de.
Workshops: LCN 2013 will be held in conjunction with the following workshops:
- 2nd IEEE International Workshop on GlObal Trends in SMART Cities (goSMART 2013) - 1st IEEE Workshop on Machine to Machine Communications Interfaces and Platforms (M2MCIP 2013) - 7th IEEE Workshop On User MObility and VEhicular Networks (ON-MOVE 2013) - Workshop on Privacy and Anonymity for the Digital Economy (PADE 2013) - 9th IEEE International Workshop on Performance and Management of Wireless and Mobile Networks (P2MNET 2013) - 8th IEEE International Workshop on Practical Issues In Building Sensor Network Applications (SenseApp 2013) - 6th International Workshop on Architectures, Services and Applications for the Next Generation Internet (WASA-NGI-VI 2013) - 13th IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Local Networks (WLN 2013) - 7th IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements (WNM) - 8th IEEE Workshop on Network Security (WNS 2013)
Workshop papers will be published in the LCN proceedings and IEEE Xplore. Information on workshops, submission deadlines and all other details will be posted on the conference website.
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.
