Call for Regular Papers

MSN 2026 provides a forum for academic researchers and industry practitioners to present research progresses, exchange new ideas, and identify future directions in the field of Mobility, Sensing and Networking. MSN 2026 is technically sponsored by IEEE.

Scope and Objectives

Mobility, sensing and networking are the key areas of enabling technologies for the next-generation networks, Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems.

Recent years have witnessed the increasing convergence of algorithms, protocols, and applications for mobility, sensing and networking in a range of applications including connected vehicles, smart cities, smart manufacturing, smart healthcare, smart agriculture, and digital twins.

Building on the past 20 years of success, the 22nd International Conference on Mobility, Sensing and Networking (MSN 2026) provides a forum for academic researchers and industry practitioners to exchange new research ideas, present their progress, and identify future directions in the field of mobility, sensing and networking.

The conference solicits submissions from all research areas related to mobility, sensing and networking, as well as their corresponding systems and applications. Topics of interests are covered by the following tracks:

• Mobile & Wireless Sensing and Networking
• Edge Computing, IoT and Digital Twins
• Security, Privacy, Trust, and Blockchain
• Big Data and AI
• Smart Cities, Metaverse and Applications
• AIoT, Crowd Sensing and Cloud Computing
• Agentic Systems and LLM for Mobility, Sensing, and Networking

Paper Submission and Publication

Submitted manuscripts must be prepared according to IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format (double column, 10pt font, letter paper) and submitted in PDF format. The manuscript submitted for review should be double-blind, no longer than 8 pages, including references and other possible appendixes. After the manuscript is accepted, the camera-ready paper may have up to 10 pages, subject to an additional fee per extra page. Manuscripts should be submitted to one of the research tracks. Submitted manuscripts must not contain previously published material or be under consideration for publication in another conference or journal at the time of submission.

Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore's scope and quality requirements. At least one author of any accepted paper must register and present the paper at the conference. The best submission will receive the MSN 2026 best paper award and best student paper award.

Additional notes:

• The submission deadline is based on the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone, i.e., UTC -12.
• There is no length limit to the abstract. But it's usually less than 200 words.
• The full paper review process is double-blind, i.e., hide the authors' information.
