*(EXTENDED) Paper Submission Due: July 23, 2021*

MSN 2021 provides a forum for academic researchers and industry 
practitioners to present research progresses, exchange new ideas, and 
identify future directions in the field of Mobility, Sensing and 
Networking. MSN 2021 is technically sponsored by IEEE.

Scope and Objectives
Mobility, sensing and networking are the key areas of enabling 
technologies for the next-generation networks, Internet of Things and 
Cyber-Physical Systems. Recent years have witnessed the increasing 
convergence of algorithms, protocols, and applications for mobility, 
sensing and networking in a range of applications including connected 
vehicles, smart cities, industries, and smart health. Building on the 
past 16 years of success, the 17th International Conference on Mobility, 
Sensing and Networking (MSN 2021) provides a forum for academic 
researchers and industry practitioners to exchange new research ideas, 
present their progress, and identify future directions in the field of 
mobility, sensing and networking.

The conference solicits submissions from all research areas related to 
mobility, sensing and networking, as well as their corresponding systems 
and applications. Topics of interests are covered by the following tracks:
