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=icccn2027 (not available yet)) 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’27 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 in the camera-ready version 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 one accepted conference paper. 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. Onsite in-person presentations are required by (one of) authors of accepted papers.

Workshops:
ICCCN 2027 workshops are exciting forums to present, discuss, and formulate specialized 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/icccn27/workshop/list-of-workshops/index.html. For any questions or additional information, please contact the Workshop General or Workshop Program Chairs.

Poster Papers:
ICCCN 2027 provides an opportunity to present progress work in the fields of computer communications and networks. Topics of interest are the same as the research topics in the ICCCN 2027 main conference listed above. 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.
