[aims-announce] CfP - 5GFW 2021 - IEEE 4th 5G World Forum 2021

[Burkhard Stiller]

Dear Reader,

the 2021 IEEE 4th 5G World Forum (5GWF’21) seeks contributions on how to 
nurture and cultivate future network technologies and applications 
beyond 5G, and how they can benefit society.

This will be a virtual event similar to 5GWF’20, but we are also 
planning an in-person event in Montreal, Canada that will be an official 
part of 5GWF’21. Physical attendance is not required for authors and 
presenters, but those who live in or near Montreal are welcome at that 
in-person event pending local regulations for travel and social gatherings.

Call for Papers and Proposals

2021 IEEE 4th 5G World Forum (5GWF’21)
Theme: Future Networks
13-15 October 2021 – Virtual Event + Montreal, Canada

Organized by IEEE Future Networks, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE 
Communications Society, and IEEE Montreal Section

5G systems have started to deliver a novel mobile network architecture 
that not only improves physical data rate, but also creates a new 
ecosystem allowing the deployment of novel services and applications. A 
key target for future networks will be to improve support not only for 
classical mobile broadband applications and services but also for 
vertical industry (e.g., Intelligent Transport, Industrial IoTs, 
eHealth) and other mobility-based services.

This conference aims to bring experts from industry, academia and 
research to exchange their vision as well as their achieved advances in 
5G and towards 6G, and encourage innovative cross-domain studies, 
research, early deployment and large-scale pilot showcases that address 
the challenges of 5G while identifying and investigating the 
possibilities of future networks.

Submissions for all of the following are requested by July 15 (or June 
30 in the case of Workshop proposals):

General Paper Submission Guidelines

Full papers submissions for Technical Paper, Workshop, and Special 
Session should be written in English with a maximum paper length of SIX 
(6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, without 
incurring additional page charges (maximum of ONE additional page with 
over length page charge if paper is accepted).

When preparing your manuscript, please also pay attention to the following:
• If your paper has been prepared using Microsoft Word or LaTeX, please 
ensure that you have used the most current version which will help 
reduce pdf conversion issues such as embedded fonts, bookmarks, etc.
• No page numbers and no headers/footers
• Use non-zero PDF top and bottom margins (typically at least 0.5 
inches/12.7 mm) to help indicate if there are any page numbers
Papers Format

Standard IEEE conference templates for Microsoft Word and LaTeX formats 
can be found here:

Papers to be submitted using EDAS System.

Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized 
material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same 
time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously, and 
the IEEE 5G Initiative will take action against any author who has 
engaged in either practice.

Please note: To be published in the IEEE 5G World Forum 2021 Conference 
Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an 
author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference 
and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the 
conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute 
presenter arranged in advance and who is qualified both to present and 
answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to 
uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the 
paper. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE 5G 
World Forum 2021 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®.
