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

The 22nd annual IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication and Networking (SECON) will provide a unique forum to exchange innovative research ideas, recent results, and share experiences among researchers and practitioners in wireless and mobile communication networks. The conference aims to serve as the reference exhibit for state-of-the-art research supported by implementation and insights gained on all scales of experimental systems, network architectures, components, and protocols. Exploring beyond current sensing, communication, and networking paradigms, IEEE SECON is committed to fostering innovative interdisciplinary research work as its signature footprint in the contemporary research landscape. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- New communication paradigms (Terahertz, optical Wireless, visible light, and acoustic communication, uncharted wireless bands, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces)

- Cellular communications and data networks

- Molecular communication networks, networks of nano things and bio nano things

- New platforms, techniques, and hardware designs for low-power, energy limited and battery-free sensing and communications

- Internet of Things; cyber-physical systems, software defined and programmable networks

- Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based sensing/communications/networking

- Communication and networking for AI and machine learning

- Data analytics, AI, and machine learning for sensing, communication, and networking

- Generative AI and autonomous agents for sensing, communication, networking, and data analysis

- Cloud, edge, and fog computing for sensing and inference

- Sensor-robot and robot-robot communication and networking

- Time and location in sensing, communication, and networking

- Fairness and socio-technical issues in sensing, communication, and networking

- Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile, wireless and sensor systems

- Novel experimental testbeds for sensing and networking systems, measurement of sensing and networking systems

- Deployment experiences in sensing, communication, and networking

- Sensing, communication, and networking in challenging scenarios (in-body networks, underground, underwater, rural and low-income areas, space)

- Resilience, dependability and sustainability of sensing systems

- Novel applications such as wearable computing, virtual/augmented reality, smart and connected communities, sensing and networking of social systems, and IoT/sensor applications using foundation models

- Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC)

** IMPORTANT DATES **

Paper Registration and Abstract     ***EXTENDED***                     Dec 30th 2025, 23:59 AoE

Paper Submission ***EXTENDED***                     Dec 30th 2025, 23:59 AoE

Notification of Paper Acceptance   March 6th 2026

** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES **

Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor be currently under review at another venue. All papers for IEEE SECON 2026 must be submitted via the conference submission system. Each submission must be no longer than 9 pages (including all the figures, references, and appendices) and in font size of 10 points. Submissions that violate the formatting guidelines will be rejected without review.

All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are required to preserve the anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. Common sense and careful writing will go a long way towards preserving anonymity. Papers that do not conform to our double-blind submission policies will be rejected without review.

The organizers of IEEE SECON 2026 as well as our attendees expect accepted papers to be presented at the conference. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

Submit your papers via EDAS at: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://edas.info/N34344__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!cdOv365J3-MzoFHPFIe-N_aXIUv1I8pB2uyqarM4JBtJ7asJWX5dAnvDs0F8aFRsUoq8MCijuDlaISC5Y_RO3Cu9TBE21IqMSROUJw$
