Important note: The Organizing Committee, with full support of the IEEE Communications Society, would like to confirm a virtual conference for CCNC 2021 that will deliver a high-quality technical program as well as ensure the safety and comfort for all participants. Our goal is to produce a valuable event for all participants, including those who may be impacted by travel restrictions. Substitute and remote presenters will also be considered as needed to ensure an inclusive and robust conference. Given the virtual attendance, we expect substantially reduced registration fees.

===========================

IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference, sponsored by IEEE Communications Society, is a major annual international conference organized with the objective of bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry working in all areas of consumer communications and networking.

IEEE CCNC was organized specifically to help the consumer electronics industry drive the advancement of the numerous wireless and wireline communications technologies that will one day provide on-demand access to both entertainment and information anytime, anywhere, regardless of time or location. This includes a detailed analysis of nearly every technological area ranging from cognitive and peer-to-peer networking to the designer services and tools used to ensure ease-of-use, security and stunning interactivity.

IEEE CCNC 2021 is proud to announce two distinguished keynote speakers: Prof. Edward Knightly, Sheafor-Lindsay Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Rice University, and Dr. Jim Lansford, Director, Technical Standards at Qualcomm. The conference will present the latest developments and technical solutions in the areas of large scale experimentation, home/consumer networking, efficient wireless spectrum use, enabling technologies, and novel applications and services.The conference will include a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, special sessions, industry track sessions, tutorials, and demonstration sessions.

• Abstract (one or two paragraphs)

• Intended Audience (one paragraph): Describe the background that attendees should have. Tutorials may range from introductory to the field for attendees new to a topic, to advanced (for experts).

• Description: A statement (no more than 2 pages) providing the relevance of the tutorial topic and a comprehensive outline of the tutorial content.

• Materials: A description (one or two paragraphs) of materials to be provided to attendees through the conference website, such as slides, annotated bibliography, code snippets, etc. NOTE: the materials themselves do not need to be provided in the proposal.

• Bio-sketches: A half-page bio-sketch of each tutorial presenter.

SELECTION

All tutorial proposals must be sent to the Chairs, and will be peer reviewed. The Tutorial Chairs will make a final selection of tutorials to ensure variety and relevance to the conference attendees and to best fit the conference schedule.
