ICNP, the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is the premier conference covering all aspects of network protocol research, including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance.

ICNP 2021 will host multiple one-day or half-day workshops in conjunction with the main conference, to be held in Dallas, Texas, USA as a virtual event between November 1-5, 2021. We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topic related to the main ICNP conference. ICNP workshops should focus on emerging research areas as well as boosting interactions among participants and community building.

A workshop proposal for ICNP 2021 should contain at least the following information:

• Name and possible acronym of the workshop.
• Motivation and rationale for the workshop.
• Names and affiliations of main organizers, and a tentative composition of the committees (as complete as possible).
• Workshop format, i.e., expected number of presented papers, slot lengths, information about invited talks, panels, demonstrations, etc.
• Expected number of participants and expected number of submissions.
• Prior history of this workshop, if any, including number of submissions, number of accepted papers, and attendee count of previous instances.
• Draft call-for-papers, including introduction and topics of the workshop.

Please note that the paper submission deadline of workshops should be around the beginning of July and the camera-ready processing of conference papers, tentatively set as August 24th, 2021, must be met by all workshops as well. Also, the break times need to be the same across all parallel workshops. All the registered participants to a workshop will receive a ticket for the welcome reception of the main conference to be held on the evening of November 1st. The paper lengths are limited to six pages in IEEE Computer Society format. All the accepted papers need to be presented at the workshop. They will be included in the workshop proceedings as well as IEEE Xplore.
