The 38th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing

Tallinn, Estonia, March 27 - 31, 2023

TRACK ON COMPUTER NETWORKING (NET)



A special track on Computer Networking will be held at SAC 2023. This track aims to be a forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners, in both academia and industry, to share new ideas, experiences, and results, and to present their latest findings in all aspects of computer communications, networks, and services. Original and unpublished papers and tutorials are invited in all areas of computer networking. The Track will emphasize on the design, implementation, management, and applications of computer communications, networks, and services. Works of theoretical nature are also welcome, provided there is a clear practical potential in applying the results of such works. Major topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

  • Big data and machine learning for networks
  • Cloud computing and networking
  • Communication protocols
  • Content-based network services
  • Context-aware networking
  • Cross-layer optimization and control
  • Cyber-physical-social systems
  • Datacenter networking
  • Edge computing and computation offloading
  • Future networks and services
  • Green networking
  • Internet of Things to Cloud Continuum
  • Internet of Vehicles
  • Internet services and applications
  • Localization and location-based services
  • Low-latency communications
  • Mobility management
  • Multimedia communications
  • Network architectures
  • Network fault tolerance, reliability, resilience, and survivability
  • Network measurements and analysis
  • Network modeling and simulations
  • Network operation, administration and management
  • Network performance evaluation
  • Network security and privacy
  • Network virtualization
  • Optical networks
  • Programmable Networks
  • Quality of service and quality of experience
  • Quatum computing and networking
  • Resource allocation and management
  • Smart ubiquitous networking
  • Self-organizing networks
  • Social computing and networks
  • Switching and routing technologies
  • Traffic engineering and characterization
  • Virtual and overlay networks

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Original and unpublished papers are solicited from the above-mentioned areas. The file format should be PDF. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the papers, and self-references should be written in the third person tense, in order to allow double blind review. Only the title should be shown at the first page without the author's information. Papers must be formatted according to the template which is available at the SAC 2023 website. Paper size is limited to eight pages (covered by the registration fee) plus two additional pages (at extra charge), resulting in the total of ten pages maximum according to the above-mentioned template. For papers accepted as posters, the length is three pages (covered by the registration fee) plus one additional page (at extra charge), resulting in the total of four pages maximum. A few key words should be provided. A paper cannot be sent to more than one track. Original manuscripts should be submitted in an electronic format through the conference web site:

Online Submission Procedure for Regular Papers

Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper - This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library.

For any other question regarding this Track, please contact the Chairs at sac2023@di.ubi.pt

STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION (SRC) PROGRAM

The SAC 2023 SRC program provides graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with researchers and practitioners in their areas of interest. Active graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas are invited to submit abstracts of their original unpublished and in-progress research work in areas of experimental computing and application development related to SAC 2023 Tracks. Abstracts must be authored by students only. Faculty advisor(s) cannot be listed as authors on the submission or on the final poster presentation. No group projects are allowed. The work must not be submitted to any another SRC program, journal or conference while it is under consideration for SAC 2023 SRC Program. Students are invited to submit abstracts (maximum of 4 pages in ACM camera-ready format) of their original unpublished and in-progress research work in the above areas covered by the Track on Networking. Accepted abstracts are limited to 4 pages in ACM camera-ready format, no additional pages. Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks is not allowed. The abstracts are reviewed by reviewers who review paper submissions to that track. The Track Chairs (TCs) manage the review process. Upon the review results, The SRC Chair and Program Committee select the best abstracts. For more details, please visit SAC 2023 website (Student Research Competition). Student research abstracts can be submitted through the SAC 2023 webpage:
