Call for Posters

FINE 2026 invites researchers, students, and practitioners to submit poster presentations that showcase innovative research, early-stage breakthroughs, and provocative ideas in the realm of future intelligent networks. The poster session provides a highly interactive forum for authors to present their work-in-progress, receive feedback from international experts, and foster collaborations.

Unlike full papers, posters are especially suited for:

• Late-breaking results and emerging research trends.
• Innovative system architectures and prototypes.
• Thematic explorations of AI-driven networking and human-centric experiences.
• Work that benefits from live demonstration and visual interaction.

Topics of Interest

We seek contributions that align with the scope of FINE 2026, including but not limited to:

I. Future Network Architectures and Protocols

• Evolution toward 6G and post-6G architectural frameworks
• Open and Intelligent RAN, including Open-RAN, vRAN, and AI-RAN
• Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
• Programmable data planes and hardware-accelerated networking
• Next-generation wireless, optical, and satellite communication systems

II. Intelligence in Networking (AI for Networks)

• Network automation, self-configuration, and zero-touch management
• Distributed and decentralized machine learning for network optimization
• Predictive analytics for traffic engineering and resource management
• AI-driven edge and cloud computing orchestration
• Semantic communications, immersive networking, and tactile networking

III. Security, Privacy, and Trust

• Security architectures for heterogeneous and large-scale networks
• Trust models and decentralized identity management
• Privacy-preserving communication protocols and data analytics
• Resilience and survivability of critical network infrastructure

IV. Human-Centric Experience and Applications

• Quality of Experience (QoE) modeling and measurement
• Networking for immersive technologies, including AR, VR, and Metaverse
• Cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems
• Inclusive and sustainable networking solutions for global connectivity
