by Matteo Boffa 01 Jul '26

01 Jul '26

Dear colleagues, Apologies for cross-posting. We are pleased to announce the call for papers for NTC-Reloaded 2026: Rethinking AI Methods for Networking, co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2026 in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Workshop date: TBA, within 7–11 December 2026 Website: <https://ntc-reloaded.github.io/> https://ntc-reloaded.github.io/ Submission website: https://ntc-r-2026.hotcrp.com/ AI methods are now widely used in networking research, but their progress is increasingly difficult to assess. In areas such as Network Traffic Classification, recent studies have exposed recurring methodological weaknesses, including dataset leakage, shortcut learning, unrealistic evaluation settings, limited reproducibility, and fragile claims of generalisation. NTC-Reloaded 2026 aims to provide a venue for work that critically examines these issues and helps the community move toward more rigorous, reproducible, and realistic AI-driven networking research. Network Traffic Classification is our flagship scenario, but we welcome contributions from across networking, security, systems, and trustworthy AI whenever they help clarify how genuine progress should be measured. We particularly encourage submissions that: * revisit or challenge established assumptions in AI-based networking research; * expose limitations, biases, leakage, shortcuts, or reproducibility issues in existing methods; * propose better benchmarks, datasets, tasks, or evaluation frameworks; * study robustness, generalisation, interpretability, or deployment realism; * report negative results, replication studies, or lessons learned from failed approaches; * develop new AI methods together with convincing evidence that they capture meaningful network properties rather than spurious correlations. We invite original research papers, measurement studies, system papers, position papers, experience reports, replication studies, failure analyses, and visionary contributions. Important dates * Paper submission deadline: 14 July 2026 * Acceptance notification: 30 August 2026 * Camera-ready due: 25 September 2026 * Program available online: 15 October 2026 * Workshop day: TBA, within 7–11 December 2026 Accepted papers will appear and be indexed in the ACM Digital Library. Full details, including topics of interest and submission instructions, are available at: https://ntc-reloaded.github.io/ Please feel free to circulate this call to colleagues and students who may be interested. Best regards, Matteo Boffa on behalf of the NTC-Reloaded 2026 organizers

Dear colleagues, You are invited to submit your high-quality work to the upcoming ACM CoNEXT 2026. =========================================== December 7-10, 2026 - Utrecht, The Netherlands Conference website: https://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2026/#!/home Full CFP: https://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2026/#!/cfp Submission Guidelines: https://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2026/#!/submission =========================================== ---------------------- Important Dates for June Submissions ---------------------- * Paper Registration: May 29th, 2026 * Paper Submission: June 5th, 2026 * Early reject notification: July, 2026 * Notification of Acceptance: September 11th, 2026 * Camera Ready for accepted papers: October 12th, 2026 * Publication of accepted papers: December 2026 issue of PACMNET For papers given the one-shot major revision option: * Major revision due: November 12th, 2026 * Final decision: December 15th, 2026 * Camera Ready for accepted papers: January 21st, 2027 * Publication of accepted papers: March 2027 issue of PACMNET All deadline times are at 24:00 Anywhere on Earth (AoE). --------------------- Aims and Scope --------------------- We especially encourage submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies, and new insights made possible using analysis. We invite submissions on a wide range of networking topics. The list of topics includes (in alphabetical order): * Content distribution and caching, e.g., CDN, peer-to-peer, overlays * Design, analysis, and evaluation of network architectures * Experience and lessons learned by deploying large-scale networked systems * Experience with applying machine learning, large language models (LLMs) and generative AI to networking problems * In-network computing, NFV, and network programmability * Innovative uses of network data beyond communication * Network measurements and modeling * Internet economics and policy * Mobile and wireless network protocols and applications * Machine learning as applied to all layers of networking * Networked applications, including XR, web, video, and online social networks * Network and systems for AI * Network aspects of datacenters, cloud computing, operating systems, virtualization * Network aspects of IoT * Network control and management, including SDN * Network, transport, and application-layer protocols * Next-generation mobile networks * Reliability and availability of networks, protocols, and applications * Reproducibility of networking research * Routing and traffic engineering * Security and privacy aspects of network applications, protocols, and systems * Sustainable (e.g., energy-efficient, carbon-efficient) computing and networking We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends, or potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We welcome experience submissions that clearly articulate lessons learned, as well as submissions that refute prior published results. We emphasize that the focus of CoNEXT is networking and its impact on networked applications. For example, papers focusing on the wireless physical layer without considering the impact on the network (e.g., quantitative performance benefits, deployment challenges) are out of scope. Similarly, contributions that focus on improvements and applications of AI models are welcome if they present a critical and in-depth analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed solutions, with a clear take-home message from a networking perspective. Potential authors who are unsure of the scope are encouraged to contact the PC chairs before submission. -------------------------- Thank you for your consideration.

We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topic related to the broad set of research and application areas covered by the ACM CoNEXT conference. We welcome workshops on topics in network research, practice, and education. Topics that represent new research areas and directions are particularly welcome. If the workshop is accepted, the proposers agree to recruit a Program Committee for selecting papers, recruit invited speakers if applicable, and advertise the workshop in order to attract papers and attendees. The workshop chairs reserve the right to cancel workshops that do not receive a sufficient number of submissions from their open call. Furthermore, it is expected that the majority of accepted papers will originate from authors who are not members of the workshop's Technical Program Committee (TPC) and will be submitted in response to the open call. While invited papers may be included in the final program, they should constitute a minority of the accepted submissions. As an integral part of the conference, the workshops will be fully incorporated into CoNEXT's logistical and budget planning process. Workshop papers - unless opted-out - will be published in the same set of proceedings as the conference's short papers, and will be available on the ACM Digital Library. Workshop papers will not appear as part of the new journal-based proceedings (PACMNET). Detailed guidelines on how to prepare your workshop proposal submission can be found at: https://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2026/#!/cfw Where to Submit a Workshop Proposal Please submit your workshop proposal in a single PDF file by sending it to the Workshop Chairs over email at workshopchairs_conext2026(a)auckland.ac.nz<mailto:workshopchairs_conext2026@auckland.ac.nz>. with the subject “CoNEXT 2026 Workshop Proposal: xxxx” (where xxxx is the acronym of your proposed workshop) by May 19, 2026. Please follow the deadlines below. Important dates (in reverse chronological order) * Workshop paper submission: July 14th, 2026 * Workshop paper abstract registration: July 7th, 2026 * Announcement of CFPs: Before June 15th, 2026 * Announcement of selected workshops: June 8th, 2026 * Submission of workshop proposals: May 19th, 2026 Note that the time between the notification of acceptance of the workshop and the announcement of the CFP is limited. Thus, we reiterate that you should contact your workshop's potential TPC members and secure the participation of most of them before submitting your proposal. Preliminary Information for Workshop Planning All deadlines will be common across workshops. * Paper submissions deadline: July 14th, 2026 * Paper acceptance notification: Before end of August, 2026 * Camera ready due: Before end of September, 2026 * Program available online: Before mid-October, 2026 * List of organisation details: Before mid-October, 2026 In order for the workshops to be synchronised with preparations for the main conference and with travel grants, the dates above must be strictly followed by all workshops.
