COMSNETS 2018 Graduate forum will provide students with useful guidance on their research and the opportunity to interact with established researchers for both academia and industry. . The authors of accepted papers will need to apply for travel grants separately (travel grants will not be considered by default).

The authors of the accepted papers must register under student-rates (for IEEE member or non-member) of the Main Conference fee.

The camera ready paper must be THREE PAGES in length for it to be included on IEEE Xplore. The authors have an option to NOT include their submission in the proceedings, if it is part of a full submission under review or is part of a published work.
