Looking beyond current sensing, communication, and networking paradigms, IEEE SECON continues to emphasize pioneering cross-disciplinary work as its signature footprint in the contemporary research landscape. IEEE SECON will offer full days of original paper presentations, tutorials, workshops, keynotes, demonstrations, designed to further the in-depth understanding of the latest advancements in sensing, communications, and networking.

IEEE has been monitoring the developing Coronavirus, COVID-19. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our priority. After studying and evaluating the announcements, guidance, and news released by relevant national departments, the Organizing Committee of IEEE SECON 2022, in concert with the Steering Committee and IEEE, has decided that the conference will run as a virtual conference (i.e., using remote audio/video support) and not as an in-person event. Authors will be required to present their paper remotely, according to IEEE policies and procedures about publication(s). Attendees will still be able to enjoy the presentations and interact with the authors remotely.

Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
New communication paradigms, such as Terahertz communications, optical Wireless communications, visible light communication, acoustic communication, and uncharted wireless bands, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces
New platforms, techniques, and hardware designs for sensing
Cellular communications and data networks, including 5G and beyond
Internet of Things, Nano-Things and Bio-Nano-Things; Cyber-Physical systems
Software defined and programmable networks
Intra-body networks and molecular communication networks
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based sensing/communications/networking
Low-power and energy limited sensing and communications
Communication and networking for AI and machine learning
Data analytics, AI, and machine learning for sensing, communication, and networking
Sensing, communication, and networking in challenging scenarios (e.g., underground, underwater, rural and low-income areas, COVID-19 pandemic, space)
Time and location management in networking systems
Sensing and networking of social systems
Fairness and Socio-technical issues in networking
Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile, wireless and sensor systems
Cloud, Edge, and Fog computing for sensing and inference
Novel experimental testbeds for sensing and networking systems
Measurement of sensing and networking systems
Sensing and Networking for Smart & Connected Communities
Deployment experiences in sensing, communication, and networking
Next generation applications such as wearable computing, virtual/augmented reality, autonomous driving, industrial internet, and smart cities, agriculture, industry, energy, transportation, water, and other smart infrastructural systems
