FEATURING
ANTS CAREER ZONE:
An opportunity for both employers and job
seekers that facilitates face-to-face interaction, Mobility Models and Mobile Networks
research discussion, on-site interviews, and
much more while saving time and cost. The
employers will have access to a number of
resumes and the candidates will have an
opportunity to explore various available
positions from different organizations.
Sponsorship:
To sustain the quality of IEEE ANTS that the
ANTS community and the IEEE communication Visible Light Communication and Networks
society have been able to establish thus far, we Optical Fiber Communication and Networks
greatly depend on financial support from
reputed organizations. IEEE ANTS provide
sponsors an opportunity to showcase their
organization’s capabilities to researchers and
engineers from all over the world.
In the past, IEEE ANTS has been co-sponsored Fiber-wireless convergence
by different organizations such as Cisco,
Qualcomm, Samsung, Infinera, Microsoft,
Keysight, Mathworks, DRDO, CSIR, SERB,
UKIERI, C-DOT, Tejas Networks, Wipro, IEEE
Future Networks, and others. Sponsorship
proposals are invited for IEEE ANTS 2022.

ANTS is a premier IEEE forum on networking and telecommunications topics. It is the only ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
conference in India that is financially sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society. The General Chair:
distinguishing characteristic of the IEEE ANTS is promoting an intense dialogue between
Shanmuganathan Raman, IIT Gandhinagar, India
academia and industry to bridge the gap between academic research, industry initiatives, and
governmental policies. This is fostered through panel discussions, keynotes, invited talks, and Co-General Chair:
industry exhibits, where academia is exposed to state-of-the-practice, results from trials and Suresh Subramaniam, George Washington University, USA
interoperability experiments. The industry, in turn, benefits from exposure to leading-edge Vice-Chair:
research in networking as well as the opportunity to communicate with academic researchers Sameer G Kulkarni, IIT Gandhinagar, India
regarding practical problems that require further research. This year’s theme is “Scalable,
Steering Committee:
Secure, and Sustainable Connectivity for All”. In addition to the topics mentioned below, a
particular focus will be on accepting papers based on telecommunications and networking Sudhir Dixit, Basic Internet Foundation, USA (Chair)
solutions to provide scalable, secure, and sustainable connectivity. IEEE ANTS 2022 will be held Deepak Kataria, IP Junction Inc., USA
at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar, located in the capital city of Gujarat state, Byrav Ramamurthy, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA
India. IEEE ANTS 2022 will feature high-quality technical sessions, workshops, tutorials, T. Rama Rao, SRM University, Chennai, India
keynotes, panels, industry expo and demo, early research forum, career zone, and women-in-
