The sixth international symposium on Ubiquitous Networking (UNet’21) highlights new trends and findings in hot topics related to ubiquitous computing/networking. This event intends to bring together researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their recent progresses in all major areas of ubiquitous networking. The UNet’21 program will host special talks addressed by distinguished keynote speakers and highly reputed visionary experts, and will feature technical papers, tutorials, special sessions, and workshops.
Papers delivered at UNet 2021 will be published by IEEE (pending) and indexed by IEEE Xplore. They will also be submitted to SCOPUS, ISI, DBLP, Google Scholar, and other leading indexing services. Papers of particular merit will be recommended for a possible special issue in international journals (discussions are underway with several international journals for publishing the accepted papers). A PDF version of the call for papers can be found here. The conference invites two types of submissions: Full Technical Papers (up to 6 pages), and Short Technical Papers (up to 4 pages). A detailed description of papers submission procedure is available via this link. UNet 2021 will features thematic content, but not limited to, across the following tracks:

Papers should contain original material, which is not currently under review in any other conference or journal and has not been previously published. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of 6 printed pages standard IEEE format including figures, without incurring additional page charges (maximum 2 additional pages, with over-length page fee).
All submitted papers will go through a peer review process. Questions about paper submissions or the conference program can be addressed to any of the Program Chairs. Standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats can be found at:
Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all submissions must be done through EDAS online submission system: https://edas.info/N27342. You are invited to submit papers in all areas related to ubiquitous networks and pervasive systems. Submit your proposalnow!
Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Xplore Digitial Library (pending). They will also be indexed by leading Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. They will mainly be indexed by
Papers of particular merit will be recommended for a possible special issue in an international journal. There will also be best papers awards.

Plagiarism policy and multiple submissions
Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference or journal at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the Springer publisher may take action against any author who engages in either practice.
If you have any questions about camera ready paper submissions or the program, please contact the Technical Program Chairs at unet21-chairs@edas.info.
