Local Computer Networks Conference

The Local Computer Networks Conference (LCN) is an annual international academic conference organized by the IEEE Computer Society. The first LCN was held in 1976, with the full name of "Conference on Experiments in New Approaches to Local Computer Networking".{{cite web|url=https://www.computer.org/web/pressroom/lcn-anniversary|title=IEEE Local Computer Networks (LCN) Conference Celebrates 40th Anniversary|date=18 April 2018 }} The second meeting in 1977 was called the "Conference on 'A Second Look at Local Computer Networking'" before it changed its name to "Third Conference on Local Computer Networks" in 1978. After that the conference was simply called LCN. The IEEE Technical Committee on Computer Communications has sponsored the LCN since 1979.{{cite web|url=https://www.ieeelcn.org/prior/LCN40/40history.html|title=LCN History}}

LCN has grown to be a premier conference on theoretical and practical aspects of computer networking and is ranked as an A conference according to the CORE Rankings Portal in 2017.{{cite web|url=http://portal.core.edu.au/conf-ranks/?search=lcn&by=all&source=CORE2017&sort=atitle&page=1|title=LCN CORE Ranking}}
