6G network research has already started with some initiatives like the 6G Flagship. Besides 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 challenging topics like global network automation and cross-domain service/slice design, delivery and operation. 6G networking may also be seen as a true convergence point where the distinction between fixed and mobile infrastructures would not make sense anymore. The research effort in this area of convergence has ignited for quite some time but dramatically progressed with 5G techniques, possibly combined with others like advanced forwarding schemes (multi-path communication designs) or AI/ML-fueled network automation. This first 6G conference therefore aims at assessing the progress of the various research efforts in areas that will forge 6G networks. The 6G Networking conference will thus bring together top-notch experts from academia and industry (including network operators) to stimulate discussions, introduce news ideas and therefore contribute to the progress of 6G networking research.
This 6G Networking conference will take place in Paris from July 6 to July 8, 2022.

*** Submission guidelines ***
*****************************
6G Network 2022 solicits original, unpublished work not currently under review by other conferences or journals. Papers submitted to 6G Network 2022 will be assessed based on originality, technical soundness, clarity and interest to a wide audience. 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/N28786


Technical papers can be of four types:
Full Paper – maximum length of 8 pages (11-point font) including tables, figures and references.
Short Paper – minimum length of 3 pages (11-point font) including tables, figures and references.
Posters & Demo papers of length of 3 pages are also solicited.
