Call for Papers

The IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (IEEE LANMAN 2025) has an established tradition as a forum for presenting and discussing the latest technical advances in local and metropolitan area networking. Cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation are solicited in all areas of networking. In keeping with the heritage of the symposium, there will be a central theme, and in 2025 the theme is “Networking and Computing under AI.”

The event is expected to be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on network access protocols, network management and control, services and applications.
