-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 16th Asian Internet Engineering Conference (AINTEC), in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM, provides an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia. AINTEC especially aims at addressing issues pertinent to the Asia and Pacific region, with vast diversities of socio-economic and networking conditions, while inviting high quality and recent research results from the Internet research community at large.

AINTEC 2021 follows the previous fifteen successful editions. The conference is single-track and features a technical program with significant opportunities for individual and small-group discussions among a diverse set of participants. The technical sessions will include invited talks by leading experts, presentations of papers, demos, posters. A student author of the AINTEC Best Paper Award affiliated in an Asian institution is eligible for the ACM SIGCOMM geo-diversity grant program to attend ACM SIGCOMM 2022.


AINTEC 2021 solicits high quality papers on a wide range of networking topics which include but are not limited to:
* Networking technologies for developing regions
* Disaster networking, including experience with earthquakes and tsunamis
* Internet measurement, analysis, and modeling
* Experience and insights with large-scale, operational systems and networks
* Networking Challenges, Solutions and Experiences with LEO Satellite Networks
* Network measurements, traffic trends and application usages related to Covid'19
* IoT, sensor networking, and applications
* Wireless and mobile networks
* Next-generation 5G mobile networks and applications
* Location management and positioning
* CDNs, Content distribution and caching
* Mobile Video, AR /VR, multimedia systems and applications

* Quantum networking

Paper submission
----------------
Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not have been submitted to another conference or journal for publication. Papers should be no more than 8 pages (2-column, 10pt ACM format) plus unlimited pages for references. All the submissions should be double-blind (more instructions below) and will be peer-reviewed. Per the anonymity guidelines, you must remove any author names. AINTEC 2021 proceedings will be included in the ACM Digital Library.

Word and Latex templates for the submission can be found here (search for "2. The Workflow and Templates"): https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions. ACM has partnered with Overleaf, a free cloud-based, collaborative authoring tool, to provide an ACM LaTeX authoring template. When using Latex, the following declaration sets the font size to 10pt, removes the author names, and removes the copyright box:
\documentclass[10pt,sigconf,letterpaper,anonymous,nonacm]{acmart}

Submit your paper here: https://cfp.wide.ad.jp/conferences/aintec2021

Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted for publication in the conference proceedings, at least one of the authors will register and present the paper in the conference. Authors of accepted papers must pay for their registration on or before the camera ready version deadline.

Presentations and Participation
----------------
We hope to hold a hybrid event consisting of both in-presence attendance, as well as remote virtual participation for those authors or attendees who are unable to travel. Depending on the final event format, we may request authors to submit a video presentation for the talk.


Double-blind requirements
----------------
All submitted papers will be assessed through a double-blind review process. This means that the authors do not see who are the reviewers and the reviewers do not see who are the authors. As an author, you should do your best to ensure that your paper submission does not directly or indirectly reveal the authors’ identities. The following steps are minimal requirements for a double-blind submission:

Remove all personal information about the authors from the paper (e.g., names, affiliations)
Remove acknowledgements to organizations and/or people
Any when referring in the paper to your previous work, this should be done similarly to any other work, as if you are not an author of that work.
Do not add references to external repositories or technical reports that can be used to identify any of the authors or institutions/organizations. You are encouraged to mention that your code will be made available during your submission.
Uploading a version of the paper to a non-peer-reviewer location is acceptable. The authors should however avoid advertising the paper on popular mailing lists and social media.
At the same time, PC members should not actively try to de-anonymize the authors’ identities. Any violation of the double-blind reviewing process should be reported to the PC chairs.
