The Emerging Topics in Networking track will bring together researchers working on novel wireless communication methods, non-traditional communication paradigms, and disruptive networking concepts. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, UAV networks, terahertz communications, nanonetworks, molecular communications, intra-body networks, and microfluidic communication systems.
The track also welcomes contributions that apply AI-based tools and methods to advance these and related emerging networking areas. Submissions on physically grounded concepts whose enabling technologies are still at an early stage of development are particularly encouraged, including high-risk, high-reward early-concept papers.
