Welcome message from the chairs
It is with great pleasure to welcome you to the 1st edition of the International Conference on Interconnected AI and NETworks, that will be held on November 23 – 25, 2026 in Paris, France.
Networks are entering an era where both classical ML and emerging agentic AI are transforming end-to-end networking—from intent capture to closed-loop control across RAN, Core, transport, and edge/cloud. AIxNET welcomes contributions that advance algorithms, architectures, protocols, evaluations, and safeguards for trustworthy, explainable, and safe-to-operate AI-driven networking. We particularly encourage rigorous comparative studies across control layers (SMO/intent vs near-RT vs lower-layer control), and the release of open datasets and artifacts to help the community build together.
AIxNET is intending to build a stimulating, open, dynamic, and friendly forum to co-create the future and spark collaborations across teams. The conference will be a unique opportunity to gather academic and industry research on this crucial topic for 2030 networks. Expect interactive sessions, demos, and time for discussion.
We are honored to organize AIxNET 2026 in the beautiful city of Paris and we are looking forward to your contributions!
