CNSM – IWNC: 2nd Workshop on Integrated Wireless Networking and Computing

EXTENDED DEADLINE: August 25, 2025

 

It is our pleasure to announce that the 2nd Workshop on Integrated Wireless Networking and Computing (IWNC) is accepting submissions.

 

****************************

 

2nd Workshop on Integrated Wireless Networking and Computing (IWNC)

colocated with the 21st International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)

October 27th-31st, 2025, Bologna, Italy

https://sites.google.com/view/iwnc2025/home-page

 

****************************

 

The 2nd Workshop on Integrated Wireless Networking and Computing (IWNC) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of advanced wireless communication and network-centric computing. As modern wireless networks, such as IoT, Wi-Fi, and 5G/6G, grow in scale and complexity, new challenges emerge in their design, optimization, and operation. Addressing these challenges increasingly requires integrated approaches that combine communication protocols with intelligent computing capabilities, both at the edge and within the network itself.

 

Key to this integration are techniques that jointly optimize multiple network functions, such as resource allocation, scheduling, and link adaptation, while taking advantage of AI/ML-assisted methods to make networks more adaptive, efficient, and autonomous. In parallel, the rise of In-Network Computing (INC), enabled by advances in programmable data planes and languages like P4, is reshaping the way computation and data processing are distributed across the network fabric.

 

IWNC welcomes original contributions that explore synergies between wireless networking and computing, including but not limited to:

 

  • AI/ML-driven optimization in wireless systems
  • Joint design of communication and computation functions
  • Programmable wireless networks and smart NICs
  • In-Network Computing architectures and applications
  • Cross-layer and cross-domain design approaches
  • Early-stage research ideas and system prototypes

 

This workshop fosters discussion and collaboration across the wireless, networking, and computing communities, encouraging innovative perspectives and interdisciplinary solutions.

SCOPE:

AIces 2026 will be the first in a series of research training events aiming at updating participants on the most recent multidisciplinary discussions about the foundations, meaning, challenges and risks of AI.

The event will have a global scope along 3 thematic lines: cognition, ethics, and society. It will cover current debates about: AI and philosophy of mind; cognitive architectures; machine learning and cognitive development; large language models and visual information; robotics and embodied cognition; neuroscience-inspired AI; algorithmic bias and fairness; transparency and explainability; accountability and responsibility; privacy and surveillance; autonomy and control; AI impact on human values and social inequalities; the future of work and automation; governance, regulation and public policies; AI, human rights and democracy; AI and global development; information and AI education.

The event will consist of 12 courses, 2 keynote lectures, 1 round table, 1 symposium collecting short contributions from participants, and 3 open thematic debate sessions. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Face to face interaction and networking will be main ingredients of the event. It will be also possible to fully participate in vivo remotely.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students, postgraduate students and industry practitioners will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees, so people less or more advanced in their career will be welcome as well.

Since there will be a variety of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses.

Overall, AIces 2026 is addressed to students, researchers and practitioners who want to keep themselves updated about recent developments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen to and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.

VENUE:

AIces 2026 will take place in Porto, the second largest city in Portugal, recognized by UNESCO in 1996 as a World Heritage Site. The venue will be:

Call for Workshop and Special Session Proposals for the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence & eXtended and Virtual Reality (AIxVR) in Osaka, Japan

The 2026 IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence & eXtended
and Virtual Reality (AIxVR) will be held in Osaka, Japan. In conjunction with
the main conference track, we will be hosting Workshop and Special Sessions.
Workshops and special sessions are integrated into the main event taking place
Jan 26-28, 2026. They typically take place in parallel sessions in the
afternoons of all three conference dates. Special sessions typically occupy
one time slot (ca. 1-2 hours). Workshops can take place on a full afternoon or
half of it. Due to the integration of these events into the main conference,
there is no separate workshop registration, but attendees must register for
the whole conference. Likewise, all conference attendees can attend all
workshops and special sessions.

Workshops offer the opportunity to discuss topics related to AR/VR and AI more
focused, explore new research directions and novel applications, and provide
excellent opportunities for networking. Workshops should have a call for
papers and therefore typically feature several regular paper presentations.
These can be complemented with other activities such as invited talks, panels,
demos, roundtables, and hands-on sessions.

Special sessions provide organizers with an opportunity to host a session
about a dedicated topic related to the conference as part of the technical
program. Organizers are expected to recruit submissions, invite speakers, and
take other related actions to organize their sessions. They should have a
separate call for papers and typically feature at least four paper
presentations, which can be complemented with other activities, such as
invited talks or panels.

Accepted workshop and special session papers can be submitted for inclusion in
the IEEE Xplore Digital Library as part of the conference proceedings
published by IEEE Computer Society Press if they are thoroughly reviewed by at
least two experts. Invited papers can be published as well if reviewed
according to the same criteria.

You can find details on the main IEEE AIxVR conference by visiting the
website: https://aivr.science.uu.nl/2026/
You can find Workshop and Special Session details by visiting the Workshop and
Special Sessions website: https://aivr.science.uu.nl/2026/aixvr2026_cfw.html

Important Dates:
Proposal submission deadline: until Sep 15, 2025 (*)
Proposal acceptance notification: before Sep 20, 2025
Call for papers & website made available (by organizers): before Sep 30, 2025
Paper submission deadline: TBD by organizers
Paper acceptance notification: TBD by organizers
Camera ready paper deadline: Mid-to-late-December
Workshop or special session date: Afternoon of either Jan 26, 27, or 28
