The 2nd Workshop on Integrated Wireless Networking and Computing (IWNC) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of advanced wireless communication and network-centric computing. As modern wireless networks, such as IoT, Wi-Fi, and 5G/6G, grow in scale and complexity, new challenges emerge in their design, optimization, and operation. Addressing these challenges increasingly requires integrated approaches that combine communication protocols with intelligent computing capabilities, both at the edge and within the network itself.
Key to this integration are techniques that jointly optimize multiple network functions, such as resource allocation, scheduling, and link adaptation, while taking advantage of AI/ML-assisted methods to make networks more adaptive, efficient, and autonomous. In parallel, the rise of In-Network Computing (INC), enabled by advances in programmable data planes and languages like P4, is reshaping the way computation and data processing are distributed across the network fabric.
IWNC welcomes original contributions that explore synergies between wireless networking and computing, including but not limited to:
AI/ML-driven optimization in wireless systems
Joint design of communication and computation functions
Programmable wireless networks and smart NICs
In-Network Computing architectures and applications
Cross-layer and cross-domain design approaches
Early-stage research ideas and system prototypes
This workshop fosters discussion and collaboration across the wireless, networking, and computing communities, encouraging innovative perspectives and interdisciplinary solutions.
