IEEE 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.



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 areas in the following tracks:

*Track 1: Future Mobile and Wireless Networks (6G, NTN, Extreme Network,
Wi-Fi 8+)*

*Track 2: Open and Intelligent RAN (Open-RAN, vRAN, AI-RAN)*

*Track 3: Network Softwarization and Programmable Infrastructure*

*Track 4: AI for Network Design, Control, and Operations*

*Track 5: Network Automation, Analytics, and Management*

*Track 6: Internet of AI Agents, Embodied AI Networks, and Network for AI*

*Track 7: Semantic Communications, Immersive and Tactile Networking*

*Track 8: Cloud–Edge–Device Computing and Network–Compute Co-Design*

*Track 9: IoT, Vehicular, and Industrial Networking Systems*

*Track 10: Security, Trust, Privacy, and Network Resilience*



*Best Paper Award and Journal Special Issues*

Three accepted papers will be selected for best paper awards. Selected
papers will be recommended to Digital Communications and Networks (IF: 7.5)
for potential fast-track publications.
