As in the fifteen previous editions, the Nets4Workshop will serve as a platform to share state-of- the-art research and innovative contributions to the communication technologies for vehicles field.
Therefore, we invite prospective authors for contributions in the theory and/or practice of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and communication technologies for vehicles on the road (i.e., cars,trucks and buses), air (i.e., Aircrafts, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Drones), rail (i.e., trains, metros and trams) and space (i.e., HAPS, cubesats, satellites and 5G-SatComs).
Submitted papers should comprise original work, not previously published, in English of max. 12 pages (or max. 8 pages for a work in progress) in accordance with the LNCS single-column format. Please, refer to author’s guidelines at Springer’s site: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer- science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines for more information.
A properly anonymized (should not contain the names/details of the authors) version of the paper has to be submitted to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nets42021, previously to the paper submission deadline.
All papers will be peer-reviewed by an International Technical Program Committee with appropriate expertise. Accepted papers will be presented by their authors at the workshop and published in the Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) series.
As for the camera-ready paper submission, we encourage authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
