The IEEE LCN conference is the premier conference on the leading edge of theoretical
and practical aspects of computer networking. LCN is a highly interactive conference
that enables an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users,
and product developers. For the past 42 years, major developments from high-speed
networks to the global Internet to specialized sensor networks have been reported at this
conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Personal and wearable networks
• Wireless ad hoc & sensor networks
• Information-centric networking
• Embedded networks
• Opportunistic networking
• Delay-tolerant networks
• Cognitive radio networks
• Vehicular networks
• Smart Grid communications
• Underwater sensor networks
• Cyber-physical systems
• Social networks
• Mobile and ubiquitous networking
• Green networking
• Overlay and peer-to-peer networks
• Local-area and metropolitan-area
networks
• Storage-area networks
• Routing and transport protocols
• Big Data Networking

• Adaptive networking applications
• Authentication, authorization, accounting
• Security and privacy
• Cross-layer optimization
• Mobility and Location-dependent services
• Multimedia and real-time communication
• Machine-to-machine communications for
smart environments
• Smart Cities
• Network traffic characterization and
measurements
• Network management, reliability and QoS

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work, not
currently under review by another conference, workshop, or a journal. Full papers (up to 8
camera-ready pages, 10 pt font in IEEE format) should present novel perspectives within
the general scope of the conference. Short papers are an opportunity to present
preliminary or interim results and are limited to 4 camera-ready pages. Short papers will
be presented in a poster session. Both full and short papers are published in the
proceedings and IEEE Xplore. All papers must include title, complete contact information
for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page. IEEE reserves the right to
remove papers from IEEE Xplore that are not presented at the conference.
Paper submission: Papers must be registered on EDAS and submitted in PDF format.
Detailed submission instructions are available at the conference website. Direct your
