Paper Submission

ICIN 2020 solicits original, unpublished work not currently under review by other conferences or journals. Papers submitted to ICIN 2020 will be assessed based on originality, technical soundness, clarity and interest to a wide audience. All submissions must be written in English and must use standard IEEE two-column conference template. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all submissions must be done electronically through EDAS using the following link:

https://edas.info/N26190

Papers can be of two types: Full papers or Short papers, up to 8 pages and 5 pages respectively, including tables, figures and references. Demo and poster papers of length of 3 pages are also solicited.

All accepted and presented papers will be published on IEEE digital library.

The best papers presented at the conference will be invited to submit an extended version for fast-track review in the following journals:
IEEE Communications Magazine (Impact Factor: 10.356),
IEEE Transactions on Network Service and Management (Impact Factor: 4.682),
MDPI Sensors (Impact Factor: 3.031)
