Call for Papers

With the advancements in wireless communication systems like Fifth Generation (5G), beyond 5G (B5G) and the Sixth Generation (6G), new and unprecedent services will be available for users with nearly unlimited capacity. These services will be the core driver of the future digital transformation of our cities and communities. This will be accompanied by a ubiquities deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure and supported by computing capacity that will be available at the edge of the network and at the cloud. The computing infrastructure will be handling the processing of the data generated by the users and services. Such a complex and diverse system will require an efficient and sustainable applications running on the computing\Networking infrastructure and also a smart control and automation systems to integrate and manage its different components. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applications will play a significant role on the design, deployment, automation and management of the future services. This will include the applications that will be running on the edge and the cloud servers, the networking applications to handle the flow of data between the users and the computing system and the intelligent automation and management software operating on the system. The International Conference on Intelligent Computing, Networking and Services is aiming to provide an opportunity to present the state of the art research in the intersections of Computing, Networking and Services that is supported by Artificial Intelligence.

Submission Guidelines:

Paper format

All papers should be in PDF format. Please make use of the appropriate IEEE template for conference proceedings to prepare your revised manuscript. Failur to do so may result in excluding your paper from the conference proceedings.

The needed IEEE Word template can be found her (IEEE Conference Word Template).
The needed IEEE Latex template can be found her (IEEE Conference Latex Template).

DO NOT include headers/footers or page numbers in the final submission.

Length

A full paper must be of maximum length of 8 pages (including all figures, tables and references). The reference pages must only contain references. Up to 2 aditional pages can be added for extra cost. Overlength papers will be rejected without review.

Originality

Papers submitted to ICCNS must be the original work of the authors. The may not be simultaneously under review elsewhere.
