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.

Although the ns-3 Annual Meeting is not a hybrid event, this session will be hybrid and remote talks can be provided via a Zoom meeting that will be set up for the lightning talks session. The session will be held at 16:00 Barcelona time (14:00 UTC) on Wednesday June 5.

TPC chairs will select as many talks as will fit the session, based on timeliness and relevance. Submissions are open until mid-May and speakers will be notified no later than the end of May (invitations are rolling). We encourage the submission of talks that will spark some discussion with the broader community during the meeting.

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.
