Call for Papers
The 11th International Conference on Networking, Systems, and Security (11th NSysS 2024) aims to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners, developers, and users from academia, industry, and government to interact, present, and exchange new research ideas and results. NSysS 2024 will be held from December 19-21, 2024, in Khulna, Bangladesh.
Extended Scope!
This year, we aim to broaden our scope and participation by inviting papers on cutting-edge advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly those intersecting with systems and networks. We welcome research on AI-driven system optimization, network management, intelligent sensing, mobile computing, AI for cybersecurity, and the integration of machine learning in network protocols. Additionally, we seek contributions on AI applications in computer vision, cyber-physical systems, control systems, electronics design, autonomous systems, robotics, intelligent transportation, smart grid technologies, and IoT ecosystems, fostering a comprehensive forum for discussing AI’s transformative impact on technological ecosystems.
Special Invitations to Young Scientists!
We warmly invite undergraduate students engaged in research projects to submit papers, even if they are in the early stages or consist of preliminary results. Our conference provides thorough reviews and constructive feedback, with the possibility of senior researchers mentoring you to refine your work. This supportive environment ensures that you are not alone in your journey, helping you gain valuable experience, improve your research skills, and ultimately increase the likelihood of your work being published.

Important note to authors about the new ACM open access publishing model
ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a waiver will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.
Further information may be found on the ACM website, as follows:
