About IEEE ANTS: IEEE ANTS is a premier IEEE conference on advanced networking and telecommunications topics. IEEE ANTS is financially and technically supported by IEEE Communications Society. The distinguishing characteristic of IEEE ANTS is the promotion of an intense dialogue between academic and industry to bridge the gap between academic research, industry initiatives, and governmental policies. This year the theme was “Ubiquitous Digital Connectivity and Economic Prosperity for All”. IEEE ANTS 2021 was held at Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT), Hyderabad which was established by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 1996. The theme of the conference fostered an environment for deliberating on different research aspects on the said topic.
