Call for Papers

IEEE FINE 2026 aims at bringing together interested parties (universities, research centers, industries and stakeholders) from around the world working in the fields of future and intelligent networking to exchange opinions, discuss brand-new ideas, developing innovative and emerging solutions, and establishing new collaborations.

Scope and Objectives

Future Networks and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two of the most fields of technology, which develop independently yet integrated with one another. The FINE represents the emerging networking technologies and integration of AI technologies into network systems. The conference will focus on the following areas:

Our conference welcomes submissions across diverse research areas related to quantum hardware, communications, networking, computing, cryptography, artificial intelligence, and their associated systems and applications. The topics of interests are covered by the following tracks:

Track 1: Quantum Communications and Networks

Track 2: Quantum Computing and Sensing

Track 3: Quantum Key Distribution & Security Implications of Emerging Quantum Technologies

Track 4: Quantum Simulations, Prototypes, Testbeds and Applications

Best Paper Award and Journal Special Issues

Three accepted papers will be selected for best paper awards. Selected papers will be recommended to Digital Communications and Networks (IF: 7.5) for potential fast-track publications.
