  • 1st Workshop on Cloud-Edge Systems in Industrial IoT Applications (CE-IIA)
• Four outstanding keynote talks by leading experts in the field:
  • Going Beyond Network Compute Continuum – UNEXT, by Azimeh Sefidcon
  • Scaling AI Infrastructures to 1,000,000 GPUs, by Y. Richard Yang
  • Self-Driving Networks: Use Cases, Approaches, and Research Challenges, by Stefan Schmid
  • From 5G to FutureG: What Needs to Change, Why and How?, by Venkatesh “Venki” Ramaswamy
• A high-profile panel featuring most keynote speakers, fostering discussions on the future of networking, AI-driven automation, and cloud-edge intelligence.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to making ICIN 2025 possible, emphasizing the invaluable help of Aziza Lounis and Prosper Chemouil. The Organizing Committee has worked tirelessly to curate an exceptional program that balances academic rigor with industry relevance. We deeply appreciate the authors whose high-quality submissions shape the backbone of the conference. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the members of the Technical Program Committee and the reviewers, whose dedication and expertise have ensured the scientific rigor and excellence of the selected papers. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Noël Crespi for his unwavering support of the conference in his role as Chair of the steering committee. 

A special thanks goes to our sponsors (Orange and Nokia), whose invaluable support has helped make ICIN 2025 a reality. We are also grateful to IEEE and IEEE ComSoc, long-standing partners of ICIN, for their continued support in advancing research and collaboration in cloud, internet, and networking technologies.

We invite you to actively participate in discussions, share your insights, and engage with peers from around the world. We hope you find ICIN 2025 a stimulating, inspiring, and rewarding experience, as we personally do.

After an Olympic Paris 2024, here comes an Olympic ICIN 2025 in Paris—we’re ready to welcome you at the highest level!
