The 14th annual IEEE SECON conference will provide a unique forum to
exchange innovative research ideas, recent results, and share
experiences among researchers and practitioners in wireless networks,
mobile systems and the Internet of Things. The focus of IEEE SECON is
novel communication technologies and emerging applications and
services, involving mobile sensing and communication, and ubiquitous
and pervasive computing. Papers describing original, previously
unpublished research work, experimental efforts, practical
experiences, and industrial and commercial developments in all aspects
of sensor networks, mobile devices, and wireless communication are
solicited. Within this domain, particular topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:

- Experience with deployment of mobile apps, networks and systems
- Software Defined Networking for mobile and wireless networks
- White space, cooperative and cognitive communications
- Network management for mobile devices, including data consumption, energy consumption, and performance
- Wearable computing and applications
- Novel smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications and experiences
- Novel applications: cyber-physical systems, Internet of things, distributed mobile computing
- New communication technologies, such as NFC, visible light, underwater communication
- Low power and energy limited sensing and communications, including
energy-harvesting
- Green wireless networks
- Cellular communications and data networks, such as small cells and 5G cellular networks
- Next-generation network architectures/protocols, including millimeter-wave, wireless optical, large-scale MIMO, and information-centric networking
Measurement of wireless and sensor systems, and novel experimental testbeds
- Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile, wireless and sensor systems
- Survivability, network management, and fault tolerance
- Application protocols and cross-layer design
