SNAI 2025

The 2nd Symposium on Networking and Artificial Intelligence (SNAI 2025) was held on 24–26 October 2025 at Singapore Management University. The second edition built on the strong foundation of the inaugural 2024 workshop and grew the symposium into a fully independent event with six research tracks, a formal rebuttal phase, and the first edition of artifact evaluation.

Across three days in Singapore, the programme featured 38 peer-reviewed papers, three keynote talks, four co-located workshops, and two tutorials, with 260 attendees joining in person and online. The proceedings are now permanently archived in the LiteConf open-access repository (LiteConf CFP record).

Highlights from the second edition

• 143 submissions received across six research tracks
• 38 papers accepted after double-blind peer review and rebuttal (26.6% acceptance rate)
• 28 countries represented in the author list and attendee base
• 3 keynotes from leading researchers in learned networking and federated systems
• 4 workshops and 2 tutorials co-located with the main programme
• First edition of artifact evaluation, with the inaugural Best Artifact award
• First edition of a formal author rebuttal phase ahead of notification
