The wealth of existing algorithms and architectures for parallel and distributed computing, combined with the proliferation of future wireless technologies and electronic devices resulted in a fast-growing adoption of future networks and highly decentralized systems. Future networks and distributed systems research is an interdisciplinary research field involving academic researchers in computer science, communication engineering, physics and social and behavioral studies, as well as information technology industry consultants and practitioners to support multiservice, multimedia services convergence, service ubiquity and context awareness, mobility, fixed-mobile convergence, variable connectivity, quality of service, spontaneous and autonomic networking and other capabilities. ICFNDS 2026 aims to bring together a diverse global community to exchange ideas on both theoretical advances and practical implementations, covering a wide spectrum of topics ranging from core networking technologies and distributed computing architectures to cutting-edge paradigms such as AI-driven networking, edge-cloud continuum, 6G, IoT ecosystems, cyber-physical systems, blockchain-enabled infrastructures, network security, and trustworthy distributed intelligence. The conference welcomes original, high-quality, and unpublished research contributions addressing fundamental challenges, novel methodologies, experimental studies, prototype implementations, and real-world industrial experiences. By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, ICFNDS 2026 seeks to accelerate innovation and shape the future of interconnected and distributed digital systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: 1.
