Technical Session: Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers in English, which are not under review in any other conferences
or journals. Submission should be in form of a PDF file of a minimum of three (3) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages, prepared in
accordance with IEEE author guidelines. All accepted and presented papers in the conference are expected to be included in the
proceedings of the conference as well as KICS Proceedings Series, IEICE Proceedings Series (pending), and IEEE Xplore Digital Library
(pending), and will be indexed by EI and other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. The copyright of accepted papers will be
transferred to KICS. A submitted paper may be accepted as a short paper (to be presented in a poster session). NOTE: To be published in
the proceedings, for each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register for the conference at the full rate and the paper must
be presented at the conference by one of the authors. Authors of the best accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions of
their papers to a Wiley’s International Journal of Network Management (IJNM).
Innovation Session: APNOMS 2023 will include innovation sessions to present and discuss ongoing research, work-in-progress ideas, practical
solutions, and experimental studies. Authors are requested to submit PDF documents in a special format (should have a visual in the upper
half of a page and the explanatory text in the lower half, and must not exceed twenty (20) annotated visuals including title and references).
Innovation papers will be included in conference proceedings but will NOT be submitted to any A&I databases, such as EI index. The
copyright of accepted papers will belong to the author(s). The author(s) may transfer the copyright to a journal publisher if the same content
or its extended version is submitted separately to a journal.
