The Fourth International Symposium on Ubiquitous Networking
Hammamet, Tunisia, May 02-05, 2018
Call for Workshops and Special Sessions
UNet 2018 will be hosting a series of Workshops and Special Sessions, and invites the submission of proposals. Workshops and Special Sessions should complement the main conference tracks with new emerging topics of particular interest
to the community on the latest technical issues related to ubiquitous computing and networking. They could also consist of work done within the framework of a particular international project.
Workshops and Special Sessions offer a unique opportunity for in-depth discussions, where researchers and industry entities are invited to share their research and development results on specific areas and novel challenging topics. Both
of Workshops and Special Sessions will be planned in parallel to the main UNet'18 program.
