Following the success of the first six editions, the 7th IEEE International Symposium M&N 2024 aims to be a forum for researchers and practitioners from industry, academia, government and standardization bodies in the areas of measurement, networking, communications, wireless systems, sensor networks, and IoT, and to foster discussion on the reciprocal role of measurements for networking and networking for measurements. IEEE M&N 2024 will be held at the ancient building of the Engineering Faculty of the University of Rome “Sapienza”. This university, founded in 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII, is one of the oldest universities in the world and the second largest University in Europe. The Engineering Faculty is located in the center of Rome, a few steps from the Colosseum and the Imperial Fora. The Symposium will provide the opportunity to gather complementary skills from different fields, with a focus on networking and measurement, and discuss recent results and trends on related highly interdisciplinary topics:
