SNAI 2026 · 3rd Symposium on Networking and Artificial Intelligence · 7–9 December 2026, Barcelona, Spain
SNAI 2026 invites original research contributions on the two-way intersection of computer networking and artificial intelligence. Papers are reviewed double-blind by at least three independent reviewers, with author rebuttal and a dedicated artifact evaluation track.
The SNAI 2026 submission system is provided by LiteConf. All submissions, reviews, and rebuttals are managed through the platform.
Learning-driven radio access, intelligent resource allocation, network slicing, AI-native architecture for 6G and beyond, semantic and goal-oriented communication, and AI for end-to-end network orchestration.
Large language model agents for configuration synthesis, troubleshooting, incident response, intent translation, root-cause analysis, and operator-facing AI tooling. Reasoning, planning, tool use, and human-in-the-loop evaluation.
Model placement and partitioning across the edge and the data plane, in-switch and SmartNIC inference, line-rate feature extraction, latency-aware serving, and hardware-software co-design for in-network ML.
Communication-efficient and privacy-preserving training, gradient compression and quantization, federated learning under heterogeneous and bandwidth-constrained links, straggler mitigation, and decentralized training over peer-to-peer topologies.
Intrusion and anomaly detection, encrypted-traffic classification, attack attribution, evasion and adversarial robustness, and large-scale measurements of malicious traffic.
Collective communication, RDMA and lossless fabrics, congestion control for AI workloads, topology design and topology-aware scheduling, training-cluster reliability, and the systems that sustain trillion-parameter training.
Open datasets and measurement traces, evaluation methodology, reproducibility studies, artifact evaluation, and benchmarking infrastructure for the networking/AI community.
All papers are reviewed double-blind. Authors must anonymize their submission, including references phrased in the third person. Each paper receives at least three independent reviews. Authors may respond to reviewers during the rebuttal period. The program chairs will resolve disagreements and may consult additional reviewers for borderline cases.
Accepted papers will be published in the open-access SNAI 2026 proceedings, archived in the LiteConf repository, and assigned DOIs. Authors retain copyright. The proceedings will be submitted to major indexing services. Authors of the strongest submissions will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of an associated journal.
Authors are asked to declare conflicts of interest for the program committee during submission. A conflict exists when an author is at the same institution as a potential reviewer, has co-authored with them in the past two years, or has a personal relationship. The submission system will surface the declared conflicts to the program chairs.
