CALL FOR PAPERS

DRCN 2016

International Workshop on Design of Reliable Communication Networks http://www.drcn2016.org/ March 14-17, 2016 - Paris, France.

Technically co-sponsored by IEEE and IEEEE Communications Society

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: October 2, 2015

Notification of acceptance: December 4, 2015 Camera Ready Papers: January 11, 2016

SCOPE

The International Workshop on Design of Reliable Communication Networks (DRCN) is a forum for presenting excellent results and new challenges facing the field of the reliability and availability of communication networks and services. It brings together experts from industry, governments and academia, experienced in engineering, design and research.

We would like to invite you to contribute to and participate in DRCN 2016, which will be held in the very heart of Paris, France, the historical Latin Quarter district.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers by the deadline October 2, 2015, for publication in the DRCN 2016 Conference Proceedings and for oral presentation during the conference. All submissions should be written in English and should not exceed eight (8) double-column printed pages (10-point font) including figures.

All papers must be formatted according to the IEEE manuscript template for conference proceedings. (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).

All submissions must be done through EDAS. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process.

Paper submission site: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=20941

During the initial paper submission process via EDAS, authors are required to make sure that the pdf file and EDAS registration page of a paper have the same list of authors and paper title, namely add all authors in EDAS during the submission process. The author list of an accepted paper can NOT be changed in the final manuscript.

At least 1 author of accepted papers must be registered to the conference as presenter in order to appear in the proceedings.

Please contact [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]> if you have any questions about submitting your manuscript.

VENUE

The conference will take place at Campus Les Cordeliers of the University Pierre and Marie Curie, in the Centre of Paris.
