We are very pleased to welcome you to the 2nd edition of the International Conference on 6G Networking (6GNet 2023), which will be held in Paris, France, from October 18 to 20, 2023!

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 second 6G conference therefore aims at assessing the progress of the various research efforts in areas that will forge 6G networks.

The 2nd edition of the International Conference on 6G Networking (6GNet) is inviting authors to submit original contributions in the area of 6G network.

The 6GNet 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 6GNet conference will take place in Paris, France from October 18 to October 20, 2023.

Submission guidelines

6G Network 2023 solicits original, unpublished work not currently under review by other conferences or journals. Papers submitted to 6G Networking 2023 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/N30629

Technical papers can be of four types: full papers, short papers, abstract paper, poster & demo papers. These submissions will be up to 8 pages, 5 pages, 1 page, 3 pages respectively, including tables, figures and references.

Full Paper – maximum length of 8 pages (11-point font) including tables, figures and references. The 15 best papers will be published in an extended version in Annals of Telecommunications, a Springer Journal.

Short Paper – maximum length of 4 pages with a minimum length of 3 pages (11-point font) including tables, figures and references.

Abstract Paper - maximum length of 1 page and minimum length of half a page. Accepted abstract papers will not be published in IEEE Xplore proceedings. These papers concerns, new ideas, last minute results, industrial projects, economical papers.
Posters & Demo papers of length of 3 pages are also solicited.

**************************
Special Sessions

It is possible to submit special sessions consisting of 3 to 5 papers. For this, the applicant must submit a title of the session and abstracts of the papers that will be presented. The applicant should also be the chair of the session.

Participants in the session must register for the conference at the registration fee of an accepted paper. The applicant of a selected session will get a free registration.
