IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS) Call for Workshops
Philadelphia, PA, USA
IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS) is a new conference series in IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) core conference portfolio and the only ComSoc conference focusing solely on cyber security. IEEE CNS is a spin-off of IEEE INFOCOM, the premier ComSoc conference on networking. Building on the success of the past three years’ conferences, IEEE CNS 2016 solicits proposals for workshops in conjunction with the conference to be held in Philadelphia, PA, USA, from October 17 to 19, 2016 (www.ieee-cns.org). Workshops will take place on Wednesday, October 19, 2016.
A workshop associated with CNS can be a full or half day in length. Each workshop should provide a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront of communications and network security research. Workshop papers will be included in the CNS conference proceeding and also IEEE Xplore. Submissions of workshop proposals must reach the workshop chair by April 8, 2016.
