[nmrg] Call For Posters and Demos - IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area (LANMAN 2024)

[Marco Savi <[e-mail]>]

IEEE LANMAN has an established tradition as a forum for presenting and
discussing the latest technical advances in local and metropolitan area
networking. Cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation
are solicited in all areas of networking. In keeping with the heritage of
the symposium, there will be a central theme, and in 2024 the theme is
“Emerging Technologies for Future Networks.”

The Internet is lately experiencing an unprecedented growth in size and
use. Now, more than ever there is a need for building networks that allow
for low-latency and high throughput communications, to support emerging
applications such as Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and
autonomous driving, to name a few. This trend poses new challenges in the
operations of networks. Here, recent advances in emerging wireless
technologies, encompassing high and very high frequencies, combined with
new technologies such as Reconfigurable Intelligent surfaces, Massive-MIMO,
and Cell-free systems, provide new opportunities for designing innovative
solutions that allow new applications with ever-increasing constraints in
terms of end-to-end response time and available bandwidth to run smoothly.

This year, LANMAN will feature a poster and demo session to offer authors
the opportunity to present their initial findings from recently performed
and unreported research, as well as to demonstrate their novel technologies
and applications by means of original interactive showcases. The goal of
this session is to focus on work-in-progress, upcoming research challenges,
and new directions in the field of interdisciplinary ideas on networked
applications, wireless systems, network access protocols, network
management and control, services and applications. Preliminary studies
reporting measurements from real-life networks and testbeds are
particularly encouraged. We also encourage authors of papers in the main
track to participate with demos.

The topics of the poster and demo session coincide with the LANMAN 2024
main track. They include but are not limited to:
- AI and machine learning for local and metropolitan area networking
- AI and machine learning for network measurement and traffic analysis
- Self-learning network architectures
- Networking designs for AI and machine learning
- Networking for online education and entertainment
- Networking protocols and architectures for the IoTs
- Machine-to-machine communication
- Cloud, edge and fog computing integration
- Co-existence and heterogeneity support at the edge (HetNets)
- Energy efficiency for local and metropolitan area networking
- 5G and 6G cellular data networking
- Information security for local and metropolitan area networking
- Intelligent routing, forwarding, and scheduling
- Network and transport mechanisms for latency reduction
- Network virtualization in local and metropolitan areas
- Performance and reliability of local and metropolitan area networks
- Software-defined networking in local and metropolitan areas
- Information-centric networking in local and metropolitan areas

IMPORTANT DATES:
Poster/Demo Paper Submission: May 31, 2024 (23:59 EDT)
Poster/Demo Acceptance Notification: June 7, 2024 (23:59 EDT)
Poster/Demo Camera-Ready Submission: June 14, 2024 (23:59 EDT)

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts no longer than 2
single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10-point. Extended
abstracts must be submitted electronically as PDF files, via EDAS:
- Demo: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=31854&track=124591
- Poster: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=31854&track=124592

The standard IEEE template for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats can be found
at IEEE manuscript templates page. Specifically, the extended abstract
should briefly state the addressed problem and its relation to the IEEE
LANMAN 2024 research topics, the approach taken to solve the problem, and a
summary of findings or features to be presented during the LANMAN 2024
poster and demo session. For demo submissions, it is also strongly
recommended to provide the URL to download the demo software or a video of
the demo, if any. In case of acceptance of the demo papers, the authors
should produce a poster supporting the demo and present the demo at the
conference.

Accepted and presented abstracts of the poster and demo submissions will be
published in the conference proceedings.
