Dear Colleagues,
We apologize in case you have now received this message multiple times.
Following the success of the First International Workshop on Quantum Communication Networks that took place in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM in May 2022, the Second International Workshop on Quantum Communication Networks will be held in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM in May 2023. We solicit your submission to this new workshop. (Website Link:
https://infocom2023.ieee-infocom.org/workshop-network-science-quantum-communication-networks-netsciqcom).
Along with advances in the Quantum Computing domain, Quantum Communication has also made significant strides in the last twenty years, starting with DARPA Quantum Network effort in the first decade of the twenty-first century. The pace of advances in Quantum Communication/Networking has accelerated significantly in the second decade with efforts all across the world on advancing this important technology. Major efforts are currently underway, not only in the United States, but also in countries such as China, India, U.K., The Netherlands and Singapore.
Network Science has been used to model the structure and dynamics of a wide variety of large-scale complex networks, including Internet connectivity, the WWW, peer-to-peer networks, and online social networks. The concepts from Network Science can play an equally important role in Quantum Communication as it has played in classical communication. The topic of this workshop will be of particular relevance to the INFOCOM community, as Quantum Communication technology is going to play a major role in the computer communication in the future. Consequently, it’s extremely important to understand the physics of quantum communication, the higher layer protocols of classical communication as well as tools and techniques from Network Science to derive comprehensive benefit from the Quantum Communication technology.
A deeper understanding of the interplay between multiple disciplines can only be achieved through closer interaction between physicists, mathematicians, network scientists and communication network designers. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for this diverse group of researchers to come together and exchange ideas leading to insights into the design of robust and complex quantum communication networks of the future
The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers which are not under review by any journal or conference. Accepted and presented research papers and extended abstracts will be published in the IEEE INFOCOM 2023 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®.
Overview of Submission Instructions:
Paper page limit: Full paper: 6 pages (including references) Author information: Required. (The reviews will be single blind.)
Paper Instructions:
Papers must be written in English. Only electronic submissions will be accepted (see instructions below). Papers not meeting the exact guidelines detailed below will be returned to the authors.
Format and Length:
Submitted papers must be no longer than the page length described above, in double-column format with standard margins (i.e., at least one inch all around) and at least a 10 point font. This length includes everything: figures, tables, references, appendices and so forth. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. Papers should include a title; full list of authors, their organization and email address; and an abstract of fewer than 200 words. Accepted full papers will be published in the INFOCOM proceedings.
All papers must adhere to IEEE formatting standards. Consult the IEEE Transactions LaTeX and Microsoft Word Style Files. Papers must be submitted in PDF (Portable Document Format) and compatible with Acrobat (English version), not including any special characters or non-standard fonts. We must be able to display and print your submission exactly as we receive it and use only standard tools and postscript printers, so we strongly suggest that you use only standard fonts. Make sure that the paper prints well on black-and-white printers, not color printers. This is especially true for plots and graphs in the paper.
Papers should be formatted for printing on US LETTER (8.5" by 11") size paper.
Dual Submissions
Once submitted to NetSciQCom Workshop, a paper cannot be submitted to another workshop, conference or journal until the Workshop acceptance decision is known. Similarly, a paper that is under consideration elsewhere, including a workshop or journal, cannot simultaneously be submitted to this Workshop. If some of the material in a submission has appeared in a workshop, the paper should so indicate. This is only acceptable if the paper submitted to this Workshop provides substantial additional results compared to the earlier or pending publication.
Electronic Submission
All submissions are handled through the EDAS link:
https://edas.info/N30347Submission Deadlines
Paper Submission Deadline: February 8, 2023
Acceptance Notification: February 22, 2023
Camera Ready: March 6, 2023
Workshop Date: May 20, 2023Registration and Presentation
At least one of the authors of each paper presented at the conference must be registered in a non-student category. Additionally, each paper has to be presented at the conference in order for the paper to be published in the conference proceedings and submitted for inclusion in the IEEE digital library.
