Conference on Innovation in Clouds, Internet and Networks and Workshops

On behalf of the Organizing and Technical Program Committees, we are pleased to welcome you to the 26th Conference on Innovation in Clouds, Internet and Networks (ICIN) will be held in Paris, France. For this edition, ICIN will host an international forum where industry, academia, and standard development organizations will convene to discuss about the emergence and future developments of "Distributed Intelligence across Network and Edge-to-Cloud Continuum" The increasing pervasiveness of data .. continue reading sources heightened by current massive IoT deployments and by the evolution of highly distributed and heterogeneous computing environments shaping the "edge-to-cloud" continuum, as well as the trends toward highly disaggregated network services fostered by the microservice and serverless models, are only some of the many drivers of an unprecedented level of challenges in network service provisioning. These must be addressed by leveraging intelligence at all levels, including network control and management, resource and service orchestration, data plane computing and communication capabilities, assisted/augmented user-network interaction, sustainable and environment-friendly deployment. The conference will foster discussion about new ideas and approaches for distributed intelligent networks, their enabling technologies and mechanisms to respond to emerging pervasive data-driven networking and processing, immersive connectivity, security and sustainability. This vision will drive the conference to look beyond the current state of the art and promote advances of networks with data, control and management plane flexibility and programmability that foster reliability, optimality and efficiency for applications and services to address future society and business needs. Interested authors are invited to submit papers presenting novel technical research, business studies in impact, or mechanisms and new technologies, as well as broader position and visionary papers. Contributions that discuss lessons learnt and best practices, describe practical deployment and implementation experiences as well as demonstrating innovative use-cases are also encouraged.
