o Heterogeneous networks (HetNets)
o Cognitive radio and white-space networking
o Localization and sensing
· *Data Center & Edge*
o Enterprise, data center, and storage-area networks
o Edge & cloud computing
o Edge intelligence and networking
· *Green Networking*
o Economics of networks
o Energy-efficient communications
o Sustainable networking
· *Dataset, Benchmarks & Testbeds*
o Benchmarked datasets
o Large-scale Experimental Platforms
o Benchmarked Datasets
· *Network Architecture & Operations*
o Network architecture, protocols & science
o Traffic analysis and engineering
o Caching and Content delivery systems
o Network management and operations
o SDN/NFV and network programmability
o Internet measurement and modeling
o Web applications and content distribution
· *Mobility & IoE*
o Mobility Network Management

o Peripheral Interfaces (PCIe, USB, etc.)
o Network-on-chip (NoC) Systems
In addition to research papers, COMSNETS is also interested in Experience papers that present the details and insights from real-life testbeds and/or large-scale experimental platforms around the research topics mentioned above. Such papers should provide detailed insights into (1) building the testbeds/platforms, (2) lessons learned and (3) implications for further research in the relevant domain. Experience papers shall follow the same submission process as the research papers with an “Experience:” prefix in the title.
The COMSNETS main conference and workshops will follow a double-blind review policy. Information about the authors will not be shared with the reviewers during the review process. The submitted paper should be anonymous and not have any reference to the authors names and/or institution. Authors are welcome to release their paper in a non-peer-reviewed location (such as a technical report by your institution or arXiv), but you should not broadcast information about the publication widely. For example, do not post it to large mailing lists or social media forums where PC members would easily encounter it, and do not do general press releases. Authors are also welcome to talk about their work (as work-in-progress) at local institutions. In either case, authors should be aware of PC members who might encounter the work and avoid sharing the work in a way that a PC member would encounter it.
Submissions should be made through EDAS at: https://edas.info/N34096 .
