THEME AND SCOPE 

The inaugural IEEE International Mediterranean Conference on Communications and Networking (MeditCom) will take place 5-8 July 2021 in Athens, Greece, and will be held annually in the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.

IEEE MeditCom will bring together visionaries in academia, research labs and industry from all over the world to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, with programming that will address many of the outstanding challenges that exist in the areas of communications and networking. The conference will solicit research papers on a wide range of research topics, spanning both theoretical and systems research along with vertical technologies. Known as the “cradle of Western civilization”, IEEE MeditCom participants will also have an opportunity to explore this exciting and dynamic region with its rich history and beauty.

IEEE Communications Society aims at engaging local IEEE Sections, ComSoc Chapters, and possibly Sister Societies, from all Mediterranean region, including Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Malta, and Cyprus.

Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting travel restrictions, the conference will be in the form of a hybrid conference with some authors and participants attending the conference in Athens in person, and others attending remotely. The technical program will include physical sessions with on-site presentations and virtual (on-line) sessions for remote participants.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Network Architectures, SDN, NFV
- Cloud Communications and Data-center Networks
- Optical Networks and Systems, Radio over Fiber
- Mobile and Wireless Communications and Networking and Beyond
- 5G Mobile Systems and their Components
