IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS) Call for Workshops
Las Vegas, NV, USA
The 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 four years’ conferences, IEEE CNS 2016 solicits proposals for workshops in conjunction with the conference to be held in Las Vegas, NV, USA, from October 9 to 11, 2017 (www.ieee-cns.org). Workshops will take place on Wednesday, October 11, 2017.
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 chairs by Monday, April 10, 2017.
