!!! DEADLINE FOR PAPER SUBMISSION HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO APRIL 14 (FIRM) !!!


IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area (LANMAN 2024)

10-11 July 2024, Boston, USA


*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

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, in order 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,
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.

The intimate single-track format of the symposium encourages stimulating
exchanges between researchers. The event is expected to be a forum for
discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on network access protocols,
network management and control, services and applications.

Conference Dates: July 10-11, 2024


* SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS *

IEEE LANMAN 2024 solicits paper submissions of papers up to 6 pages. Some
regular paper submissions may be accepted as short papers (2 pages) by the
TPC. The page limits include all figures, tables, and references. All
papers must be electronically submitted in PDF according to the guidelines
in the symposium website http://www.ieee-lanman.org. The proceedings will
be published in IEEE Xplore and will include both short and regular papers
presented at the symposium. A best paper award will be awarded.

In addition to the regular paper track, we will organize a demonstration
session. The aim is to foster interactive discussions on work-in-progress,
new problem statements, ideas for future development related to LANMAN
topics, and display innovative prototypes. Authors of accepted papers will
be encouraged to submit demo proposals as a further chance to showcase
their paper.
