*Instructions for Authors**:*
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 is open now
) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5×11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be
no longer than *9 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
in-person presentations are required by authors*) 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/index.html*
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.
