## Call for papers

TRACKS AI Infrastructure and Systems Scope The track of AI Infrastructure and Systems aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the foundations, architectures, and system-level innovations that power modern artificial intelligence. As AI models continue to grow in scale and complexity, there is an urgent need for robust, scalable, and efficient infrastructure to support training, deployment, and lifecycle management of AI workloads. This track focuses on the design, implementation, and optimization of AI-centric systems spanning cloud, edge, and hybrid environments. We welcome research that addresses the essential challenges of large-scale model training, distributed inference, heterogeneous hardware acceleration, resource orchestration, system reliability, and observability. We are particularly interested in research work that bridges AI algorithms and system design, enabling co-optimization across hardware, software, and networking layers. Our motivation is to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue between systems researchers, AI practitioners, hardware designers, and industry engineers to advance next-generation AI infrastructure that is scalable, reliable, trustworthy, and efficient. Topics of Interest Our track seeks original contributions in the following topical areas, plus others that are not explicitly listed but are closely related: Distributed and large-scale training systems for foundation models AI-native cloud and data center architectures Reliability, availability, and serviceability of AI systems Observability for AI infrastructure and systems Heterogeneous computing for AI (over GPU, TPU, NPU, FPGA, ASIC accelerations) High-performance networking and communication for AI workloads Efficient inference systems and serving architectures Edge AI systems and collaborative cloud-edge intelligence Resource management and scheduling for AI clusters AI workload characterization and benchmarking Storage systems optimized for AI training and data pipelines MLOps, AIOps, and lifecycle management of AI models Security, privacy, and trust of AI models Federated and distributed AI systems System support for generative AI and large language models Co-design of AI algorithms and system architectures RF Computing, Next-Gen AIoT, and Embodied Intelligence Scope We are on the cusp of a paradigm shift in the Internet of Things (IoT). The field is evolving from simple connectivity to a sophisticated ecosystem of pervasive sensing, distributed intelligence, and physical interaction. This track seeks to explore the synergy between three transformative technologies: RF Computing, which enables battery-free and non-intrusive sensing; AIoT, which brings intelligence to the edge; and Embodied AI, which translates digital insights into physical action. This track invites researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to submit original contributions that bridge the gap between wireless signals, algorithmic intelligence, and robotic systems. We are particularly interested in works that demonstrate how RF signals can inform embodied agents, how AIoT architectures can support mobile robots, and how these systems can operate efficiently in real-world environments. Topics of Interest We solicit papers covering a broad range of topics related to this convergence. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: RF Computing & Wireless Sensing Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS) / ISAC WiFi, LoRa, and UWB Sensing (Gesture, Vital Signs, Occupancy) Backscatter Communication and Computational RFID RF-based Localization and Tracking for Autonomous Systems Energy Harvesting and Battery-free Computing Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) for Sensing AIoT & Edge Intelligence TinyML and Efficient Neural Networks for Edge Devices Distributed Inference and Learning across IoT Clusters Cross-modal Learning (RF + Vision + Audio) Resource-constrained Learning for Embedded Systems Privacy-preserving AI in IoT (Federated Learning, Split Learning) Security in IoT systems Embodied AI & Robotics RF-Guided Navigation and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) Sim-to-Real Transfer for Wireless Robots Human-Robot Interaction via Wearables/RF Sensing Multi-agent Coordination in AIoT Environments Sensor Fusion for Embodied Agents (Vision-RF, Lidar-RF) Systems & Applications Smart Home, Smart Health, and Smart Factory Applications Testbeds, Datasets, and Evaluation Metrics for RF-AI Systems Hardware-Software Co-design for Sensing and Actuation Web3.0 Security and Privacy Scope Web3.0 represents the next phase of Internet evolution, characterized by emerging technologies such as blockchain, cryptographic verification, and programmable smart contracts. These technologies enable new economic models, enhance transparency and security, and support trustworthy digital interactions at scale. The integration of AI further improves usability and automation, accelerating the adoption of intelligent, data-driven services. Together, these advances position Web3.0 as a transformative paradigm for the digital future. The Web3.0 Security and Privacy track aims to bring together innovative research that safeguards the next generation of decentralized digital infrastructures. We welcome contributions that advance the cryptographic foundations, protocol robustness, and application-level security of Web3.0, spanning decentralized systems, smart contracts, DeFi ecosystems, DAOs, and cross-chain environments. This track seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers and practitioners in cryptography, system security, economics, privacy engineering, and trusted hardware, highlighting solutions that enhance resilience against emerging threats while preserving usability and compliance. Particular interest lies in privacy-preserving blockchain architectures, Layer-2 scalability, secure integration in critical industries, AI-driven security analytics, and empirical measurement of real-world Web3.0 risks. Our motivation is to bridge theoretical breakthroughs with practical deployment challenges, enabling trustworthy, transparent, and resilient Web3.0 systems that can support sustainable innovation across digital society.

Driven by breakthroughs in large language models, reinforcement learning, and multi-agent coordination, agents are increasingly capable of perceiving complex system states, reasoning over operational objectives, and executing adaptive actions across distributed infrastructures. From self-healing networks and autonomous traffic engineering to AI-driven security orchestration and intelligent resource scheduling, agent-based paradigms offer potential for modern systems and network management. The Agentic Design for System and Network track aims to bring together pioneering research at the intersection of intelligent agents and systems/network engineering. We welcome contributions that explore how autonomous and semi-autonomous agents can enhance the performance, reliability, security, and efficiency of computing systems and communication networks. This track seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers and practitioners in distributed systems, networking, artificial intelligence, and security, highlighting solutions that harness agent intelligence to address real-world operational challenges. Particular interest lies in LLM-driven network management, multi-agent collaboration for distributed systems, agent-based cyber defense, autonomous cloud orchestration, and empirical evaluation of agent deployments in production environments. Our motivation is to bridge the gap between agent intelligence and systems engineering, enabling robust, adaptive, and self-managing infrastructures that can meet the demands of an increasingly complex and dynamic digital landscape.
