==================================================
19th IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)
Las Vegas, January 8-11, 2022
https://ccnc2022.ieee-ccnc.org
==================================================
The IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC), sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, is a major annual international conference. Taking advantage of its co-location with the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which is the world's largest trade show on consumer technology, CCNC is organized 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.

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.


========================================
CALL FOR WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS
========================================

Prospective authors are invited to submit Work-in-Progress (WiP) papers related to all areas of consumer communications and networking that summarize speculative breakthroughs, industry-featured projects, open problems, new application challenges, visionary ideas, and preliminary studies or recent achievements that are not quite ready for a regular full-length paper. WiP papers are welcomed in all areas of consumer communications and networking.
All Work-in-Progress papers should be submitted via EDAS, and please make sure to follow the Submission Guidelines. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of four pages (10-point font) including figures. Accepted WiP papers will be published in the IEEE CCNC 2022 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore® as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.
Any questions should be submitted to the WiP Co-chairs.

IEEE CCNC 2022 invites proposals for half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours) tutorials that are scheduled to take place on the first and last day of the conference (8 and 11 January, 2022). Tutorials are open to all registered conference attendees at no extra charge.

We seek proposals across a wide range of topics and levels—ranging from fundamentals to the latest advances in hot topic areas. Examples include AI-based networking, testbed and platforms for testing future wireless systems, energy harvesting and transfer, aerial and robotic-based networks, open-source 5 and 6G networking, and security and privacy in all areas of consumer communications and networking and of the Internet of Things.

PROPOSAL FORMAT
Each tutorial proposal must contain the following:
•       Title
•       Names and Affiliations of Speakers
•       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.

UPON ACCEPTANCE:
Tutorial topics and their presenters will be featured on the IEEE CCNC 2022. Tutorial material must be emailed to the conference organizers at least 14 days before the presentation date. All questions concerning tutorial proposals should be submitted to the Tutorial Chairs.
