The conference focuses on cutting-edge research and technological advancements in next-generation communication networks, artificial intelligence-driven security mechanisms, and intelligent systems. It aims to provide a platform for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to explore innovative solutions in 5G/6G networks, IoT-enabled smart systems, speech and signal processing, cybersecurity, and edge computing.

Key areas of interest include network architectures, distributed computing, digital twin technologies, vehicular communication, trust and privacy mechanisms, and AI-driven anomaly detection. Additionally, the conference will highlight advancements in speech and signal processing techniques, particularly in secure communications, speech enhancement, and audio analytics for real-time applications.

Through this event, participants will discuss challenges and opportunities in cloud-to-things systems, fog computing, and AI-driven access control, shaping the future of secure and intelligent communication networks.

We seek novel, innovative, and exciting work in areas including but not limited to:

• • 5G/6G and Use Cases of 5G/6G Systems
  • Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-Enabled Systems
  • Internet of Things (IoT)-Enabled Smart Systems
  • Cloud-to-Things Systems
  • Edge Cooperative Computing and Fog Computing
  • Vehicular Networks
  • Smart City and Smart Grid Applications
  • Digital Twin Technology
  • Speech and Signal Processing for secure communications, speech enhancement, audio analytics, and intelligent voice-based applications
  • Distributed Systems Security
  • Trust and Access Control
  • Data Privacy and Integrity

HOW TO WRITE GOOD ALT TEXT

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

• Regular papers should be up to 12-15+ pages in length.
• Short papers should be 6-11 pages in length.

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.

Papers must be formatted using the Springer LNICST Authors’ Kit.

Instructions and templates are available from Springer’s LNICST homepage:

• LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates (zip)
• Microsoft Word Proceedings Templates (zip)

Please make sure that your paper adheres to the format as specified in the instructions and templates.

When uploading the camera-ready copy of your paper, please be sure to upload both:

• a PDF copy of your paper formatted according to the above templates, and
• an archive file (e.g. zip, tar.gz) containing the both a PDF copy of your paper and LaTeX or Word source material prepared according to the above guidelines.
