Description

This track focuses on integrated networking and computing across cloud, edge, and end devices. As applications demand increasingly stringent latency, energy efficiency, and reliable processing, achieving these goals requires a synergistic approach that tightly couples networking capabilities with computational resources. We seek original research on the joint design, co-optimization, and unified orchestration of network and compute resources.

Track Topics

• Architectures and protocols for the cloud–edge–device continuum
• Orchestration and service placement across distributed compute nodes
• Compute–network co-optimization and joint resource allocation
• Latency- and reliability-aware networking
• Networking support for distributed intelligence and federated learning
• In-network computing and AI-driven management
• Energy-efficient and sustainable compute–network co-design
• Programmable infrastructures (e.g., SDN/NFV) for unified network-compute orchestration
