Call for Papers – Call for Speakers – What is the difference?
In the section below we reprint the Call for Papers for presentation in the RTC Conference’s Research Track. Papers submitted will be peer reviewed. Those that are accepted and presented will be submitted for publication in the IEEE XPlore digital archive.
The RTC Conference uses the services of EDAS to facilitate the receipt and evaluation of the research papers proposed for presentation in this track. The link at which papers can be uploaded is https://edas.info/N30764 <https://edas.info/N30764>. The CfP (copied below and also available at RTC CfP <https://www.rtc-conference.com/2023/wp-content/uploads/CFP-RTC-Research-Track-2023.pdf>) contains more information about the scope and requirements for these papers.
There are five other tracks in the RTC Conference – Internet of Things, WebRTC & Real-Time Applications, Programmable Real-Time Networks and Cloud Communications, VoiceTech, and Next Generation Emergency Services . These tracks welcome proposals for talks and demonstrations whose content complements the material presented in the Research track. These talks and demos can serve as a source of new ideas and industry- and academic research partners.
Presentations and demonstrations in these tracks will be selected by the RTC Conference Track Chairs and Steering Committee based on relevance and technical content. The Call for Speakers for these tracks will be issued soon and will be accessible via the conference website.
Call for Papers
RTC Conference Research Track
The functions and scope of real-time mixed media applications are expanding as these applications are integrated with IoT, ML/AI, blockchain, voice- and financial technologies, and more. While there are conferences devoted to each of these technologies separately, and to the underlying networks and platforms that support them, the RTC Conference Technical Program is specifically interested in exploring the issues, opportunities and challenges associated with the integration of these disparate technologies. The online version of this Call for Papers can be found at Call for Papers (https://www.rtc-conference.com/2023/research-track-cfp/).
The RTC Research Track invites paper submissions in the area of interactive multimedia communications describing architectures, design, theoretical results, experiments, innovative systems, prototyping efforts and case studies. Papers that are accepted and presented at the conference will be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore.
We are in particular interested in works at the intersection of multimedia interactive communications with technologies in the area of internet of things, vehicular networking, confidential computing, machine learning, network management, programmable network services, security, privacy, machine learning, voice technologies, blockchain, gaming, and robotics. The Technical Program inherits the 14-year legacy of the IPTComm Conference which evolved from a focus on Voice over IP to include some topics listed above. The archive of IPTComm publications is located at archive (http://iptcomm.org/archive.html).
We invite paper and poster submissions including but not limited to the following topics of interest:
Evolving Technologies and their impact on- and use within RTC Applications
Innovations in WebRTC applications and algorithms
Programmable networks and edge computing
5G/6G networks – applications and research
IoT networks
Video / audio codecs
Augmented and virtual reality, gaming, and robotics
Automated driving and autonomous transportation
Vehicular and other transportation networking
Industrial communication networks
Innovative applications to sectors including finance, energy, healthcare, education and social services
Cloud native evolution
Network functions running on hyperscalers
Network Management and Resilience methods and their effect on RTC applications
Scaling, monitoring and management
Reliability engineering

Submission Guidelines
Paper submissions must describe original research, not published nor currently under review for another conference or journal. The program committee will referee all papers. At least one author of each paper must be registered and present their paper at the conference.
All paper submissions must be done through EDAS (https://edas.info/N30764)
Regular paper submissions should follow the guidelines and use the formatting tools available at the IEEE Manuscript Templates page.
Regular papers are limited to 8 pages, double-column IEEE format, including figures, references and appendices.
Work-in-progress papers should have no more than 4 pages in IEEE double-column format, including figures, references and appendices. Work-in-progress papers must include “Work in Progress” in the title.
