PAPER SUBMISSION:
MAIN CONFERENCE:
Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready
format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icccn2026; this site will accept
paper submissions soon in due time) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5×11-inch
paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 8 pages including all
figures/tables and references. Submitted papers should not be previously
published in or be under consideration for publication in another
conference or journal. Paper titles and/or author names cannot be changed
and/or added to the papers after the submission deadline or in the
camera-ready version if accepted. The Program Committee reserves the right
to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have
been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title,
abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail
addresses. Note: ICCCN'26 will select Best Paper and a runner-up paper to
recognize the research quality and excellence. The Program Committee
reserves the right to recommend some borderline conference papers to be
accepted as short papers in the conference (the short papers should be no
longer than 6 pages including all figures/tables and references).
REVIEW and PUBLICATION of MANUSCRIPTS:
Submitted papers will be reviewed by the TPC and judged on originality,
technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation (the review
process is single-blind). An accepted paper must be presented at the
conference venue by a registered author at the full registration rate. Each
full registration covers up to two conference papers authored by the
registered author. If the originally registered author is unable to attend
the conference due to extenuating circumstances, he/she must explicitly ask
for the transfer of registration to one of the other authors of the paper.
Please note that an author's registration cannot be transferred to a
nonauthor presenter under any circumstances. Accepted and presented
(onsite) papers will be published in the conference proceedings and IEEE
Xplore.
WORKSHOPS:
ICCCN 2026 workshops are exciting forums to present, discuss, and formulate
specialize topics and emerging hot research topics (new areas, new problems
or new methods). The workshops offer a perspective distinct from and
complementary to the research themes of the main conference. Workshop
papers should be no longer than 6 pages including all figures/tables and
references. The detailed info can be found in each workshop's Call for
Papers from (http://www.icccn.org/icccn26/workshop/list-of-workshops/). For
any questions or additional information, please contact the Workshop
General or Workshop Program Chairs.
POSTER PAPERS:
ICCCN 2026 provides an opportunity to present in-progress work in the
fields of computer communications and networks. Topics of interest are the
same as the research topics in the ICCCN 2026 main conference Call for
Papers. Early implementations, prototypes, work-in-progress
systems/applications as well as commercial products that are related to the
topics are welcome. Presenting a poster is an effective way to obtain early
and valuable feedback from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. Posters
must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column,
10-pt font). Each poster submission must be no longer than 2 pages
including all figures/tables and references.
