The 7th Asia-Pacific Workshop on Networking (APNet’23) aims to bring together the very best researchers in computer networking and systems across the Asia-Pacific region and around the globe to a live forum discussing innovative ideas at their early stages. The mission of APNet is that promising but not-yet-mature ideas can receive timely feedback from the community and experienced researchers, leading them into publications at major conferences such as SIGCOMM, NSDI, SOSP, OSDI, MobiCom, and CoNEXT.

We invite submissions of short papers (up to 6 pages, excluding references) on a wide range of networking research, including, but not limited to:

    Network architectures and algorithms
    Cloud and wide-area networking systems & infrastructure
    Networking for Machine Learning and Machine Learning for Networking
    Operating system support for networking
    High-speed networking and applications
    Domain-specific networks including datacenter, storage, intra-host networks, etc.
    SDN, NFV, and network programming
    Networking hardware design and application
    Network measurement, monitoring, diagnosis, and operations
    Formal methods and network verification
    Network security and privacy, censorship, transparency
    Network, transport, and application-layer protocols
    Resource management, QoS, and signaling
    Routing, traffic engineering, switching, and addressing
    Wireless, mobile, and sensor networking

The APNet Program Committee will select papers based on novelty, significance, and technical merit, rather than completeness. Innovative well-reasoned ideas with preliminary evaluations will suffice for APNet. We hope that the extension of APNet papers, when substantiated by solid implementation and experimentation, can be published at the aforementioned premier conferences.
