This workshop will be a hybrid event. Date - 09-10 November 2026 Location - Vancouver, British Columbia Times - approximately 10:00-17:00 PDT (Local time PDT is UTC -7; note that British Columbia has opted to remain on PDT all year round) Deadline for Submissions - 2026-08-24 23:59 UTC https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/58/abstracts/ All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome although we're particularly keen to hear more about operational and security related experiences, best practices and practical advice; both for newcomers to the DNS arena and those who have been around for longer who want to learn more about new features and opportunities to improve resilience, security and privacy. (These topics we think will complement the usual high-quality data-based research submissions we always hope to receive!) If you have something interesting to share with the community that lies outside of the focus above, please don't be put off - if it's good, we'll be happy to include it. You can also contact us directly at submissions(a)dns-oarc.net if you would like to ask about the suitability of a potential presentation submission topic. If you'd like to offer a talk, but are not quite sure what to pick, here's a non-exhaustive list of ideas: 1. Operations & Deployment * Configuration management, deployment processes, and interoperability experiences. * Tools, tips, and making effective use of DNS software features. 2. Performance, Resilience & Scaling * Provisioning, load-balancing, and planning for resilience. * DNS performance management, efficiency improvements, and metrics. * Monitoring infrastructure: log pipelines, analytics, and anomaly detection. 3. Security, Privacy & Policy * DoS attacks, DNS abuse, DNSSEC signing and validation. * Privacy considerations, for example: encrypted transport, qname minimization, data anonymization. * Relevant global and regional policies, legislation, and compliance. 4. Research & Innovation * Data-driven testing, measurement, and analysis. * New protocols, protocol extensions, and next-generation namespace management. 5.

[Submission website now open] CFP: NTC-Reloaded 2026 - Rethinking AI Methods for Networking
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.
