*********************************************************************************



Technically co-sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Communications Society

All accepted and presented papers will be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore Digital Library



The ICIN conference, established in 1989 and praised for the richness of its social networking, is also recognized for its continuous adaptation to emerging technical trends.

2019 will be the year of first large-scale 5G trials world-wide, targeting early network introduction, preliminary experimentation of network intelligence and orchestration solutions, and moving towards commercial large scale introduction in the 2020 horizon.



At ICIN 2019, the driving theme is "Network AI and Zero-Touch Communication Systems": we focus on the challenges related to the integration of analytics and orchestration solutions, enablers and methods, into automatic and autonomic service delivery and network management and operations. The conference will foster presentation of novel approaches and technical solutions, as well as experimental validation and proof of concepts.



Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

§  Enablers and use cases for 5G 'zero-touch' service delivery

§  Network Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Reasoning

§  Network Data Analytics, Anomaly Detection, Feature Extraction

§  Network automation and orchestration architectures and protocols

§  Societal and Legal Aspects of Network Automation

§  Autonomic, Cognitive and Intent-based Networking and Management

§  5G Network Architecture, Services and Protocols

§  5G Control and Management Architecture

§  5G Functional Decomposition and Composition

§  Advanced 5G Infrastructure Slicing and Radio Slicing

§  Scalability and multi-tenancy in 5G Networks and 5G network slicing

§  Network Programmability and Softwarization architectures and systems

§  Protocols for Ultra-Low Latency and Ultra-High Reliability

§  Fog, Edge and Multi-Access Computing, IoT and Vertical Industries

§  Software Defined Networking and High Availability

§  Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Orchestration

§  Service Function Chaining, Function Placement and Network Embedding

§  Big data and Fast Data Processing and Management

§  CDN Architectures and Network Cache Allocation Schemes

§  Advanced multimedia and real-time communications, QoS/QoE design

§  Performance, Optimization and Resource Dimensioning

§  Security, Trust and Privacy

§  Use of Blockchains in 5G Networking and Servicing

§  Measurement, Monitoring and Telemetry

§  Testbeds, Open source efforts and open standards



Submission Instructions

Submissions should be original, unpublished work, not currently under review by other conferences or journals. Papers submitted to ICIN 2019 will be assessed based on originality, technical soundness, clarity and interest to a wide audience.

Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all submissions must be done electronically through EDAS: http://edas.info/N24828



All submissions must be written in English and must use standard IEEE two-column conference template.

Papers can be of two types: Full papers or Short papers, up to 8 pages and 5 pages respectively, including tables, figures and references.



Demo papers of length of 3 pages are also solicited.

At least one author is required to register, at the full rate, to present accepted papers at the conference and for the paper to appear in the proceedings and the IEEE digital library.
