It was launched in 1986, being held every 2 years until 2006, often in cooperation with flagship IEEE Communication Society conferences (Int. Conference on Communications - ICC, Global Telecommunication Conference - GLOBECOM). Since 2007, the workshop has been held once every year motivated by the ever increasing interest in this hot research and development field, and since 2009 CAMAD is an attractive IEEE Communications Society portfolio event. IEEE CAMAD 2016 will be held as a stand-alone event on 23-25 October 2016, at Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. IEEE CAMAD will focus on Communications for Smart Cities this year. IEEE CAMAD will be hosting several special sessions, and will bring together scientists, engineers, manufacturers and service providers to exchange and share their experiences and new ideas focusing on research and innovation results under wireless communications in smart cities. In addition to contributed papers, the conference will also include keynote speeches, panel and demo sessions. IEEE CAMAD is soliciting papers describing original work, unpublished and not currently submitted for publication elsewhere, on topics including, but not limited to, the following: Autonomic Communication Systems and Self-Organized Networks Big data in the network Body Area Networks and Applications Cloud Computing, Network Virtualization and Software Defined Networks Cognitive Radio and Network Design Communications for Smart Home and Community Cross-Layer & Cross-System Protocol Design Design of Content Aware Networks and Future Media Internet Design of Satellite Networks Design, Modeling and Analysis of Wireless, Mobile, Ad hoc and Sensor Networks Design, Modeling and Analysis of Network Services and Systems Design, modeling and analysis of Ubiquitous sensing in Internet of Things Future Service Oriented Internet Design Green Wireless Communication Design Modeling and Simulation Techniques for Integrated Communication Systems Modeling and Simulation Techniques for Internet of Things and Machine-to-Machine Communications Modeling and Simulation Techniques for Mobile Social Networks Next Generation Mobile Networks Network Monitoring and Measurements Network Optimization and Resource Provisioning Next Generation Internet Optical Communications & Fiber Optics Network Management, Middleware Technologies and Overlays Quality of Experience: Framework, Evaluation and Challenges Seamless Integration of Wireless, Cellular and Broadcasting Networks with Internet Fast Simulation Techniques for Communication Networks Simulation Techniques for Large-Scale Networks Smart Grids: Communication, Modeling and Design Test Beds and Real Life Experimentation Traffic Engineering, Modeling and Analysis Validation of Simulation Models with Measurements ----- Submission Guidelines: Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality original technical papers reporting original research of theoretical or applied nature for presentation at the conference and publication in the CAMAD 2016 Proceedings and IEEE Xplore. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. The manuscripts must be prepared in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (following the standard IEEE 2-column format) without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with over length page charge of USD100 for each page if accepted). Please note that for every accepted contribution, at least one person must register for the conference and present. Accepted papers not presented in the conference will be excluded from the proceedings. All papers for CAMAD 2016 should be submitted via EDAS using https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=22298 ----- Organizing Committee: General Chairs Jelena Misic, Ryerson University, ON, Canada Burak Kantarci, Clarkson University, NY, USA Technical Program Chairs Dongmei Zhao, McMaster University, ON, Canada Petros Spachos, University of Guelph, ON, Canada Marco Di Renzo, Paris-Saclay University / CNRS, France Ioannis Papapanagiotou, Netflix, USA For all the members of the CAMAD 2016 Organizing Committee, please visit http://www.ieee-camad.org
