WMNC 2021 technical program committee invites authors to submit manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal.
The following contributions are welcome:
- Research papers reporting on new trends and developments
- Application papers reporting on academia developments of technologies, products, services, systems and solutions
- Performance evaluation and experimentation papers
- Industry practice papers
Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. Papers presented at the symposium will be considered for a Best Paper Award.
Paper Submission:
The IFIP WMNC 2021 paper submission and review process is being conducted in a manner similar to previous WMNC conferences:
Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal and has not been previously published.
All submissions should be written in English, technical papers can be of two types, Full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 5 pages), in Two-Column IEEE Conference Format, including text, figures and references. Demo papers of length of 3 pages are also solicited. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at: https://wmnc2021.edas.info/
Best papers will be considered for fast-track publication in the Annals of Telecommunications (Springer, ISI-indexed) At least one author is required to register, at the full rate, to present accepted papers at the conference and for the paper to appear in the proceedings.
Authors who wish to participate in the conference will create documents consisting of a complete description of their ideas and applicable research results in maximum 8 pages (two-column format).
Papers should be formatted according to the Author Guidelines described here. All papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format.
Paper submissions will be reviewed by experts selected by the conference committee for their demonstrated knowledge of particular topics. The progress and results of the review process will be posted on this website, and authors will also be notified of the review results by email.
Requirements
Papers should be no longer than 8 pages, including all text, figures, and references. The paper MUST be formatted according to the paper templates given in Microsoft Word or LaTeX.
Papers must be submitted by the deadline date. There will be no exceptions.
Accepted papers MUST be presented at the conference by one of the authors, or, if none of the authors are able to attend, by a qualified surrogate. The presenter MUST register for the conference at one of the non-student rates offered, and MUST register before the deadline given for author registration. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of your paper from the conference proceedings and program.
Preparation of the Paper and Submission
Document Formatting
- All submissions must be in letter-sized PDF.
- All fonts and subsets must be embedded. Times New Roman font is strongly encouraged,
- Detailed examples about the paper format using LaTeX and Microsoft Word are available in these Guidelines.
Templates
The following style files and templates are available for users of LaTeX and Microsoft Word:
We recommend that you use the Word file or LaTeX files to produce your document, since they have been set up to meet the formatting guidelines listed above. The format/layout for papers should be the same as that for IEEE conference proceedings. Be sure to use the template’s conference mode under Latex. Font size must be no smaller than 10-points.
Electronic Paper Submission
When you have your document file ready, gather the following information before entering the submission system:
