        <span>The 16th annual IEEE SECON conference
will provide a unique forum to exchange innovative research ideas, recent
results, and share experiences among researchers and practitioners in wireless
networks, mobile systems and the Internet of Things. The focus of IEEE SECON
2019 especially aims at showcasing systems research, experimentation, hands on
evaluations, and cross-disciplinary wireless research welcoming pioneering
inter-disciplinary work at the intersection of wireless and parallel
disciplinary areas (e.g., new devices, physics, biology, computing, etc.)</span>
