Call For Tutorials
The 29th Conference on Innovation in Clouds, Internet and Networks (ICIN 2026) invites tutorial proposals from distinguished researchers and experienced industry practitioners. Tutorials should address the theme of the conference, i.e., “Disruptive Intelligent Technologies for Next-Generation Clouds and Networks”, encompassing cutting-edge developments that are reshaping the design, deployment, and management of modern communication and computing infrastructures. Relevant areas include, but are not limited to: artificial intelligence and machine learning for network automation, cloud-edge continuum architectures, programmable and reconfigurable networks, network softwarization, energy-efficient service orchestration, and emerging paradigms such as 6G, quantum networking, and trustworthy AI-driven systems. Proposals should aim to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of these transformative technologies, their practical applications, and their potential to enable future network and service ecosystems.
Guidelines for Tutorial Proposals
