46TH ANNUAL IEEE CONFERENCE ON LOCAL COMPUTER NETWORKS
Edmonton, Canada
October 4-7, 2021
Announcement: After evaluating the current COVID-19 situation, the decision has
been made to transform the in-person component of The 46th IEEE Conference on
Local Computer Networks (LCN) into an all-digital conference experience –IEEE
LCN 2021 will now be an online event. Therefore, IEEE LCN 2021 will no longer
take place in Edmonton, Canada, but will instead take place virtually.
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 exchange of results and ideas
among researchers, users, and product developers. For the past 45 years, major
developments from AI-enabled high-speed networking to application-focused IoT
networks have been reported at this conference. 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
- Test beds for network experiments
- Network coding
- Optical and high-speed access networks
- E-Health networking
- AI-enabled networking
The LCN Symposium track provides an opportunity to present early work
in-progress that shows exciting promise. The aim of the Symposium is to enable
timely discussion of novel ideas and challenging future directions on emerging
topics in networking. Submissions in areas such as, but not limited to, the
following are encouraged:
- Edge/Fog Computing
- Network Intelligence
- Blockchain Networks
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 eight pages, 10 pt font in IEEE
format) should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the
conference. Short papers (up to four pages) are an opportunity to present
preliminary or interim results on hot topics in a poster session. Symposium
papers (maximum six pages) enable timely discussion of novel ideas and
challenging future directions on emerging topics in networking. All papers are
published in the proceedings and IEEE Xplore.
A limited number of students grants and N2 Women Young Researcher Fellowship
awards are considered by the conference each year.
Paper submission: Papers must be registered on EDAS and submitted in PDF
format. Detailed submission instructions are available at the conference
website. Direct any questions to LCN Program Chair Lyes Khoukhi
([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>), LCN Program
Co-Chair Sharief Oteafy ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>), or LCN
Symposium Chair Florian Tschorsch
