IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications & Networking (IEEE CSCN 2021)
15-17 December 2021
Virtual event

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

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we have great pleasure in
inviting you to submit your work to the IEEE Conference on Standards
for Communications & Networking (IEEE CSCN 2021). Due to the COVID-19
pandemic, the sixth edition of this highly successful conference will
be held virtually during 15-17 December 2021.

Standards play a key role in the success of the communications
industry, as enablers of global systems inter-operability and
economies of scale. IEEE CSCN is a unique conference on the networking
circuit in that it aims to close the gap between researchers,
scientists and standards experts from academia, industry and different
standardization bodies. It serves as a platform for presenting and
discussing standards-related topics in the areas of communications,
networking and related disciplines, facilitating standards development
as well as cooperation among the key players. IEEE CSCN 2021 will
deliver high-quality technical as well as visionary papers, which will
be reviewed and selected by an international technical program
committee (TPC) representing both academia and industry, with a strong
standardization background.


Highlights:
- Authors of selected papers from IEEE CSCN 2021 will be invited to
submit an extended and improved version to the IEEE Communications
Standards Magazine in a Special Issue devoted to IEEE CSCN 2021.
- The conference will be collocated with an IEEE Standards
Thessaloniki Summit 2021 (Wednesday, December 15) with participation
from all Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs).


Topics:
New, original and previously unpublished papers are invited that
address the emerging connectivity solutions and the standardization
approaches and strategies that these may take, as well as the relevant
business models and use-cases.

In 2021, IEEE CSCN will be divided into 5 tracks designed to cover the
diverse space of technologies:
- Track on 5G and Beyond Emerging Wireless Communications
- Track on IoT, URLLC and Automotive
- Track on Softwarization, Slicing, Automation and Network Management
- Track on Access Network, Edge Computing and Transport for 5G
- Track on Verticals, Services and Applications
