Submission Reopened: ICNS 2020 || September 27 - October 01, 2020 - Lisbon, Portugal

Greetings,

Note that ICNS 2020 scheduled earlier in the year has been moved to September 27 - October 01, 2020 in Lisbon, Portugal. As such, we have additional time to reopen submissions to the conference.

In order to accommodate a large number of situations, we are offering the option for either physical presence or virtual participation. We would be delighted if all authors manage to attend, but are aware that special circumstances are best handled by having flexible options.

The new submission deadline is May 18.

Please consider to contribute to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results to:

ICNS 2020, The Sixteenth International Conference on Networking and Services

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended article versions to one of the IARIA Journals: http://www.iariajournals.org
