It is with great pleasure to welcome you to the 27th Conference on Innovation in Clouds, Internet and Networks, The ICIN 2024 conference, which is a flagship event of the Telecoms research community, will be held on March 11 - 14, 2024 in Paris, France, one of the most cosmopolitan capitals in the world.

For the 2024 edition, ICIN will host an international forum where industry, academia, and standard development organizations will convene to discuss about the emergence and future developments of

“Intelligent network service management across the compute continuum”

The network and computer arena has recently expanded not only in number and in type of players but also in technologies, domains, terminals and services. This expansion seeks for intelligent and efficient control, orchestration, and management platforms able to support all the challenging requirements such as dynamicity, diversity, efficiency, sovereignty, sustainability, security, reliability and openness in a timely manner and with limited operator interventions. Solutions such as AI-based or digital twin may contribute to the solution.

The conference will foster discussion about new ideas and approaches for AI/ML-assisted service orchestration, as well as enabling technologies and mechanisms to respond to emerging pervasive data-driven networking and processing, immersive connectivity, security and sustainability.

ICIN 2024 will accommodate an attractive technical program that features:
