Recently, due to the rapid proliferation of sensors and smart devices, a new revolution in communication has been witnessed. The next generation of networks will utilize a wide variety of resources with significant sensing capabilities. Such networks will extend beyond physically linked computers to multimodal information from biological, cognitive, semantic, and social networks. This paradigm shift will involve symbiotic networks of humans, smart devices, and the environment, which is referred to as the Cyber-Physical Networks (CPN). These devices and the network will be constantly sensing, monitoring, and interpreting the environment. The symbiosis of CPN will have significant implications for both the market for advanced networking infrastructure and the future markets – for nearly 6.0 billion people -- that CPN will create.

Although many researchers have paid attention to CPN, CPN still face many challenges (e.g., architecture, security, privacy, big data analysis, etc.). This workshop solicits papers with novel contributions that address such issues regarding advances in CPN. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
All submissions should be written in English and using IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: single-spaced, double-column pages using 10pt size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, with side-margin at least 1 inch, including all figures, tables, and references, in PDF format. More information and template downloads can be found at the IEEE MASS main page.
Submitted papers should not be published or under review elsewhere.
Regular submissions are restricted to 6 pages.
Submission Link: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=acpn2021 .
Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the IEEE MASS 2021 venue by one of the authors registered at the full registration rate. Each workshop registration covers up to two workshop papers by an author. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the MASS proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore® Digital Library if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.
Please note that at least one author of each accepted paper needs to register and present the paper at the workshop.
