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

							
 August 26th, 2025  Daniela Lopez de Luise 

			
							

                                								




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:

     Porto, Portugal    


    



    


     STRUCTURE:    


    


     2 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they wish to attend as well as to move from one to another.    


    


     Full live online participation will be possible. The organizers highlight, however, the importance of face to face interaction and networking in this kind of research training event.
