******** Paper Submission Due: September 23, 2018******


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

2019 will be the year of the 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 implementation in the 2020 horizon.

At ICIN 2019, the driving theme is “Network AI and Zero-Touch Communication
Systems”: we focus on challenges related to the integration of analytics
and orchestration solutions, enablers and methods, 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.

Submissions should be original, unpublished work, not currently under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 and poster papers of length of 3 pages are also solicited.

At least one author of the paper must be registered at the appropriate full
conference rate (Member, Non-member, Student member, Student non-member) in
order to upload the final paper and for the paper to appear in the
proceedings and the IEEE digital library.

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
