CALL FOR PAPERS
NCA is a successful series of conferences that serves as a largeinternational forum for presenting and sharing recent research resultsand technological developments in the fields of Network and CloudComputing. NCA, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, reachesout to both researchers and practitioners, and to both academia andindustry. The conference features keynotes, technical presentations, andworkshops.

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS
Paper submissions are managed through EasyChair. Please visit thesubmission link to send your manuscript: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nca2021
Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published orcurrently submitted for publication elsewhere and must be cleared forpublication in the NCA Proceedings, which will be published by the IEEEComputer Society Press. The manuscript must be written in English, andmust not exceed 8 pages for NCA papers or 4 pages for workshop papers.The submission must be in PDF format. Instructions for submitting themanuscript are available at www.ieee-nca.org.
Manuscript page limit:
Regular Papers: 8 pages, including all figures, tables, and references.Short Papers: 4 pages, including all figures, tables, and references.
Purchasing extra pages:
Regular Papers: Up to 2 extra pages may be purchased at $100 (USdollars) per extra page.Short Papers: Up to 1 extra page may be purchased at $100 (US dollars).
Authors can decide to submit papers longer than 8/4 pages (up to 10 and5, depending on the category) before the reviewing process. This is anindication of their will to purchase extra pages during the registrationprocess. Therefore, longer papers cannot be shrunk when preparingcamera-ready versions, in case of acceptance. This is to respect thework made by reviewers and other authors who decided to stay in the limits.
ACCEPTED PAPERS AND PUBLICATION POLICIES
Every regular paper accepted must have attached to it at least oneregistration at the full (member or non-member) rate. Thus, for amanuscript for which all authors are students, one student author willbe required to register at the full registration rate. For manuscriptswhere at least one author is already registered at the full rate, thisfulfills the obligation for up to two (2) papers.
No-show papers are defined as papers submitted by authors whosubsequently did not present the paper in-person (no videos, no remotecast will be allowed) at the technical meeting. Presentations by proxiesare not allowed unless explicitly approved *before* the conference bythe technical co-chairs. No-show papers that were not withdrawn and werepublished in the Proceedings must be identified as "No-Show" in thefiles submitted to IEEE for further publication (IEEE Xplore). No-showswill not be available on IEEE Xplore or other public access IEEE forums.IEEE will maintain an archive of no-shows.
Exceptions to this policy will be made by the Technical Program Chair ofthe conference only if there is evidence that the no-show occurredbecause of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, andevery option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.
The IEEE strongly discourages changes and, in particular, withdrawals ofpapers once submitted and included in the program. To avoid thelikelihood of this, the author is strongly encouraged to get allnecessary company and/or government approvals prior to submittinghis/her paper to the conference.
If under any circumstances it becomes necessary for the author towithdraw or change a paper, IEEE policy dictates that the request to dothis must come directly from the author and not from any third party.IEEE policy also states that in this case, the author will be heldliable for all costs that are incurred. It would then be up to theauthor to get reimbursed for the expense from any third party if he/shefeels it is justified. The IEEE cannot act as a policing entity onbehalf of the author in this regard.
BEST PAPER AWARDS
The IEEE NCA 2021 Program Committee will select Best Paper and BestStudent Paper. The first author of the Best Student Paper must be a PhDstudent.
