The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, distributed systems, and next-generation communication infrastructures is fundamentally reshaping network requirements. AI training and inference workloads, large-scale distributed applications, and emerging agentic computing systems generate unprecedented traffic volumes, dynamic communication patterns, and stringent performance requirements. Future networks must deliver ultra-low latency, high throughput, predictable performance, resilience, and intelligent resource utilization while operating across data centers, wide-area networks, edge infrastructures, and heterogeneous computing platforms.

Furthermore, the evolution of the Digital Continuum—device-to-edge-to-fog-to-Cloud—is converging with AI-native infrastructures, promising low-latency and ubiquitous computation for heterogeneous mobile, IoT, and AI-empowered devices and agents. Emerging 6G system specifications increasingly consider GenAI and Agentic AI functionalities as native components of the 6G core, enabling AI-driven control, orchestration, and service exposure directly within the network fabric. This convergence is expected to foster a rich array of network and computing services aiming at tighter synergy across programmable data planes, control planes, and computing substrates in Next Generation Integrated Communications and Computing Systems.

The main focus of HPSR 2027 – the 28th edition of the HPSR conference – will be to assess how these transformative breakthroughs  in AI-native Integrated Communications Systems affect all areas related to switching and routing, traffic engineering, and next generation networks and systems in general. We are soliciting original and thought-provoking works on big data, data analytics, cloud, edge and fog services, and advanced artificial intelligence techniques applied to networking, including the high-performance routing, switching, and traffic engineering, including for AI / GenAI / Agentic AI workloads. Contributions addressing traffic modeling and characterization of AI-centric environments (e.g., LLM training and inference clusters, agentic swarms, federated learning, and digital twins) across data center, wide area, and intra-provider networks are particularly welcome. Works on autonomous networks, AI-native 6G core and RAN, Industry 4.0 and 5.0, social networks, network cybersecurity, network softwarization and virtualization, as well as other advanced topics are also encouraged. Original, previously unpublished research papers describing theoretical advances, experimental efforts, practical experiences, as well as visionary roadmaps in all aspects of switching and routing, traffic modeling, and AI-native next generation networks and systems are solicited.
