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, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and 6G are three of the most rapidly evolving fields of technology, which develop independently yet integrated with one another. The FINE represents the emerging networking technologies, integration of AI technologies into network systems, and supporting network technologies for future mobile communications. The conference will focus on the following areas:

    Future Mobile and Wireless Networks (5G-Advanced, 6G, Wi-Fi 8+)
    Open and Intelligent RAN (Open-RAN, vRAN, AI-RAN)
    Network Softwarization and Programmable Infrastructure
    AI for Network Design, Control, and Operations
    Network Automation, Analytics, and Management
    Networking for AI Systems and Data Centers
    Internet of AI Agents and Embodied AI Networks
    Semantic Communications and AI-Native Networking
    Cloud–Edge–Fog Computing and Network–Compute Co-Design
    IoT, Vehicular, and Industrial Networking Systems
    Non-Terrestrial and Extreme Networks (Space, Airborne, Maritime)
    Optical, Photonic, and High-Capacity Networks
    Security, Trust, Privacy, and Network Resilience
    Immersive, Tactile, and Content-Centric Networking
    Emerging and Disruptive Networking Technologies
    Experimental Platforms, Testbeds, and Real-World Deployments
