<b>(EXTENDED) Paper Submission Due: July 23, 2021</b><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Scope and Objectives<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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:<br>
