******** Paper Submission deadline: November 17, 2024 (Firm) ***********

ICIN 2025 solicits original, unpublished work not currently under review by other conferences or journals.

Digital transformation is at the heart of our society. This evolution is made possible by the deployment of a network, computing and service infrastructure that is highly sophisticated in terms of its size, the diversity of its components and the range of uses it allows. Such an infrastructure is made of a large set of heterogeneous hardware/software components resulting in a system of systems whose availability, reliability, performance, interoperability and energy efficiency are becoming major challenges. In order to overtake them, there is a need to automate the full cycle of the continuum.

A special focus will be set on the conference theme “Towards full life cycle automation in the IoT-edge-cloud continuum”.

Areas of interest and topics include, but are not limited to:

– Intelligent network service management

Intelligent end-to-end service configuration
Intelligent and cooperative management models across heterogeneous network segments from IoT to Cloud and back
Intelligent, resilient and robust schemes in the IoT-edge-cloud continuum service management
Enablers for cross-network intelligence and services trustworthiness
Intelligent and flexible networks and services for high adaptability
Support of intelligent network service management by digital twins
Distributed intelligence in B5G/6G networks

– IoT-edge-cloud continuum and intelligent softwarized networks evolution and life cycle

Intelligent edge for vertical industries
Digital twins challenges for the IoT-edge-cloud continuum life cycle automation
