The Workshop on ns-3 (WNS3) will be held on June 5-6, 2024 at the Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC) in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain. In addition to the paper presentations and lightning talks, additional ns-3 events will be held on June 3-4, 2024 at the CTTC, as part of the overall ns-3 Annual Meeting.

Do you have some work in progress that you would like to share with the ns-3 community? The Technical Program Committee co-chairs are soliciting lightning talk proposals for the Workshop on ns-3.

TPC chairs will select roughly 10 such talks based on timeliness and relevance (the exact number will depend on the duration of the paper presentations). Submissions are open until mid-May and speakers will be notified by the end of May. We encourage the submission of talks that will spark some discussion with the broader community during the meeting. In-person talks are preferred, but virtual talks are also acceptable if necessary.

Proposal format

Each lightning talk proposal should be written in English and must indicate the following:

• Title
• Names and affiliation of the presenter
• Abstract (< 200 words)
• Whether the speaker plans to attend in person or present virtually

Submission instructions

Speakers should submit lightning talk proposals via email (subject “[WNS3] Lightning talk”), to both of the WNS3 PC chairs (p.imputato@gmail.com and tahiliani.nitk@gmail.com).

Acceptance Criteria

It is anticipated that there will be space for roughly ten such talks. The TPC co-chairs will decide on the accepted talks based on their assessment of relevance and interest to the community.

Important Dates

Lightning talk proposal submission deadline: May 15th, 2024.

Notification of acceptance: Rolling; no later than May 31st.
