Call for Workshop and Special Session Proposals

Fourth International Symposium on Ubiquitous Networking (UNet' 2018)
Hammamet, Tunisia, May 03-05, 2018

http://www.unet-conf.org/


The Fourth international symposium on Ubiquitous Networking (UNetí18)
highlights new trends and findings in hot topics related to ubiquitous
computing/networking. UNet provides an excellent opportunity to share
knowledge and the practicability of sciences and technologies of
information and communications. This event intends to bring together
researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their recent
progresses in all major areas of ubiquitous networking. UNet 2018
solicits high-quality and original contributions, and will features
thematic content across the following five tracks:

- Track 1: Ubiquitous Communication Technologies and Networking
- Track 2: Ubiquitous Internet of Things
- Track 3: Mobile Edge Networking and Fog-Cloud Computing
- Track 4: Data Engineering for Ubiquitous Environments
- Track 5: Cyber Security for Ubiquitous Communication


UNet 2018 will be hosting a series of Workshops and Special Sessions,
and invites the submission of proposals. Workshops and Special
Sessions should complement the main conference tracks with new
emerging topics of particular interest to the community on the latest
technical issues related to ubiquitous computing and networking. They
could also consist of work done within the framework of a particular
international project.

Workshops and Special Sessions offer a unique opportunity for in-depth
discussions, where researchers and industry entities are invited to
share their research and development results on specific areas and
novel challenging topics. Both of Workshops and Special Sessions will
be planned in parallel to the main UNet'18 program.

Papers submitted to Workshops or Special Sessions will have to be
evaluated and peer-reviewed under the very same criteria of the main
conference. Accepted papers will appear in the main conference
proceedings.
