=============================================================================== Call for Papers LCN 2018 - The 43rd Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) ===============================================================================

http://www.ieeelcn.org Chicago October 1-4, 2018

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 42 years, major developments from high-speed networks to the global Internet to specialized sensor networks have been reported at this conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Personal and wearable networks * Wireless ad hoc & sensor networks * Information-centric networking * Embedded networks * Opportunistic networking * Delay-tolerant networks * Cognitive radio networks * Vehicular networks * Smart Grid communications * Underwater sensor networks * Cyber-physical systems * Social networks * Mobile and ubiquitous networking * Green networking * Overlay and peer-to-peer networks * Local-area and metropolitan-area networks * Storage-area networks * Routing and transport protocols * Big Data Networking * Cloud computing and networking * Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization * Internet of Things * 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 * Smart Cities * Network traffic characterization and measurements * Network management, reliability and QoS * Performance evaluation of networks * Testbeds for network experiments * Network coding * Optical and high-speed access networks * E-Health networking

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or a journal.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.
