Accepted Papers

COMSNETS 2021 paper decisions are out!

Kindly note that the registration for all COMSNETS 2021 papers is mandatory. At least one author per accepted paper (Main conference, Poster, Workshops, Demo) must register at the full rate, i.e., at Regular IEEE/ACM member rate, or at non-member rate. In the case of an accepted paper with exclusively student authors (i.e., all authors are full-time students and no other co-authors), registration at the student rate is permissible. This is as per the guidelines of IEEE and ACM. It is mandatory to register for the paper before uploading the camera ready to EDAS. There will be no exceptions to this policy.

Camera ready papers are due by December 4, 2020 (HARD DEADLINE). Please adhere to the instructions given on the website in preparing the camera ready manuscript.
