==================================================
The
2024 Latin
America
Networking
Conference (
LANC 2024)
will provide
an
international
technical
forum for
experts from
industry and
academia,
everywhere in
the world, but
especially
from Latin
American
countries, to
exchange ideas
and present
results of
ongoing
research in
networking.
LANC 2024 will
be held in
collaboration
with CLEI
2024,
the
2024 Latin
American
Conference on
Computing (
https://conferencia2024.clei.org/),
organized in
this
opportunity by
“Universidad
Nacional del
Sur” (
https://www.uns.edu.ar), Bahia Blanca,
Argentina. It
will be
celebrated on
August 15-16,
2024,
as a hybrid
conference
(in-person and
virtually). In
addition to
the
traditional
paper
presentations,
the conference
will host
tutorials and
keynote
speeches.
Similarly to
preview years,
the organizing
committee has
started the
negotiation
with ACM to
include the
accepted
papers in the
ACM Digital
Library (
https://dl.acm.org/conference/lanc).
==================================================
CALL FOR
PAPERS
Students,
faculty,
researchers,

are invited to
submit
high-quality
original

English to LANC 2024.
All submitted

on
originality,
quality,
relevance, and
the practical

submitted with
the author(s)
names and

At least one
author of
every accepted
manuscript
must register
to attend the
conference
in-person or
virtually, and
present
his/her
article.
Failure to do
so will result
in exclusion
from the
conference
proceedings.
Full Papers:

POLICIES
Authors
submitting
manuscripts
for
peer-review to
the LANC
Conference
consent to the
following
policies:
MANUSCRIPT
FORMAT
Manuscripts
(PDF format)
must follow
the mandatory
template
provided by
the LANC 2024
conference.
All authors
are required
to submit
their
manuscripts in
the correct
format, even
at the level
of the
evaluation.
Instructions
and the LaTeX
template are
in
https://www.lanc.top/2024/papers-format.
Be aware that
manuscripts
that do not
follow the
required
format will be
rejected
without being

Thank you for
your
understanding.
REVIEW
PROCESS
The
submitted
papers will be
inspected by
the technical
program
committee to
ensure that
the documents
are readable
and meet ALL
the formatting
requirements (
https://www.lanc.top/2024/papers-format),
including the
minimum and
maximum page
limits. The
manuscripts
will also be
checked for
similarities
with already
published
works. The
papers that do
not pass this
inspection or
have high
similarity
with existing
works will be
rejected
without
evaluation.
Otherwise,
they will be
entered into
the review
process where
groups of
reviewers (at
least three
reviewers per
paper) will
evaluate the
works and rate
them according
to quality,
relevance, and
correctness.
The technical
program
committee
chairs will
use these
reviews to
determine the
accepted
papers to be
presented at
the
conference.
The result of
the decision
will be
communicated
to the authors
by email,
along with the
reviewers’
comments.
To
submit a
manuscript for
evaluation at
LANC 2024, use
Microsoft CMT

https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/LANC2024).
If you do not
have an
account in
Microsoft CMT,
create one in
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/User/Register.
Remember that
the process of
evaluation is
"single-blind", and submitted manuscripts shall have author(s) names and
affiliations.
You will be
asked to
select a
category
during the
submission
(full papers
or short
papers). Be
sure you
submit your
manuscript to
the right
category.
Submitted
