Call for Workshop Proposals

International Conference on Networked Systems 2021

September 20 till September 23, 2021 – Lübeck, Germany

NetSys 2021 organizing committee invites proposals for full day and half day workshops affiliated to the 2021 International Conference on Networked Systems. The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than at the conference itself. The Workshops are a great opportunity for community building and a forum for attendees with common interests.
