*** Paper submission deadline: May 13, 2024 ***

We are pleased to invite your submissions to the 3rd edition of the International
Conference on 6G Networking (6GNet 2024), which will take place in Paris, France,
from October 21 to 24, 2024!

6G network research is already ongoing with multiple initiatives worldwide. Along
the (somewhat questionable) speed race, 6G networking is a tremendous opportunity
to investigate and foster research in areas like the need for massive digital
inclusion and stronger robustness against attacks of any kind, among other chal-
lenging topics such as global network automation and cross-domain service/slice
design, delivery and operation. 6G networking may also be seen as a true conver-
gence point where the distinction between fixed and mobile infrastructures would
not make sense anymore. The research effort in this area of convergence has been
ignited for quite some time but dramatically progressed with 5G techniques, pos-
sibly combined with others like advanced forwarding schemes (multi-path communi-
cation designs) or AI/ML-fueled network automation. This 3rd 6G conference there-
fore aims at assessing the progress of the various research efforts in areas that
will forge 6G networks.

The 2024 6GNet Conference will bring together top-notch experts from academia and
industry (including network operators) to stimulate discussions, introduce new
ideas and thereby contribute to the progress of 6G networking research. We invite
authors to submit original contributions in all areas of 6G networks.

Topics include but are not limited to:
* 6G applications and use cases
* 6G architectures and visions
* 6G green networking and sustainability
* 6G physical layers and frequencies
* 6G RAN
* 6G core network
* 6G direct link
* 6G satellite and 3D networks
* Non-public towards 6G
* Innovation for 6G (semantic and goal oriented communication)
* Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes (pre 6G and 5G lessons learned)
* Hybrid technology (Wi-Fi 8 and 6G)
* Localization in 6G
* Security and privacy within 6G
* Edge and embedded edge cloud computing
* Softwarization and virtualization in fixed and mobile networks
* 6G QoS and slicing
* Global 6G network automation (from service/slice parameter exposure and
negotiation to service/slice fulfillment and assurance)
* Dynamic inter-domain service/slice (including service function chaining)
design and provisioning
* AI/ML driven network automation/orchestration techniques
* Zero-touch networks
* 6G migration strategies (coexistence with 5G and legacy techs)

*** Submission guidelines ***
6G Network 2024 solicits original, unpublished work not currently under review by
other conferences or journals. All Papers submitted to 6G Networking 2024 will be
assessed based on originality, technical soundness, clarity and interest to a
wide audience.

Technical papers can be of two types: full papers and short papers. Full papers
will not exceed 9 pages (11-point font) including tables, figures and references.
Short papers should not exceed 5 pages (11-point font) including tables, figures
and references.

All Submissions must be written in English, and must use standard IEEE two-column
conference template, available for download from the IEEE website:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process, and all submissions must
be done electronically through EDAS using the following link:
https://edas.info/N32209

Papers exceeding page limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers
will be rejected without further review. All other papers will sustain a thorough
single-blind review process.

For accepted papers to be included on 6GNet 2024 proceedings and to be submitted
to IEEE Xplore, at least one author must register at the Author rate and papers
must be presented in-person at the conference by a registered co-author.

Authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version in Annals of
Telecommunications, a Springer Journal.
