IEEE INFOCOM 2027 — IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications

IEEE INFOCOM 2027, the IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications, runs 24-27 May 2027 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, Hawaii, hosted with support from the IEEE Hawaii Section. INFOCOM is the IEEE Communications Society's flagship networking research conference, dedicated to network architecture, design, operations, implementation, measurement, analysis, simulation and performance. The 2027 call for papers puts artificial intelligence at the front of its topic list: AI/ML for networking, AI/ML ethics for networking and agentic communication and networking sit alongside cellular systems including 6G and O-RAN, blockchain and payment-channel networks, cloud computing, network virtualisation, software-defined networking, IoT and wireless sensor networks, and cybersecurity. Papers run to a maximum of ten pages through a rigorous double-blind review process, with early-reject notifications on 8 December 2026. The conference returns to Hawaii after London in 2025, Vancouver in 2024 and Hoboken in 2023.

• ✓Network security engineers
• ✓Graduate students in computer networking

For anyone whose AI plans now depend on the network — distributed training across racks and regions, inference pushed to the edge, private 5G on a factory floor — INFOCOM is where those claims are tested before they become vendor datasheets. Four days in Honolulu put you in front of the researchers defining AI/ML for network operations, agentic networking and 6G/O-RAN, and the double-blind selectivity means what survives to the program is closer to evidence than to positioning. A network or infrastructure executive leaves with an early read on which parts of their vendors' 2028 and 2029 roadmaps rest on results that actually replicate.

• ✓Call-for-papers topic: AI/ML for networking
• ✓Call-for-papers topic: AI/ML ethics for networking
• ✓Call-for-papers topic: agentic communication and networking
• ✓Call-for-papers topic: cellular systems including 6G, O-RAN and beyond
• ✓Call-for-papers topic: cloud computing, network virtualisation and software-defined networking
• ✓Call-for-papers topic: Internet of Things and wireless sensor networks
• ✓Call-for-papers topic: blockchain and payment channel networks
• ✓Double-blind peer review with a published early-reject round

• ★The IEEE Communications Society's flagship networking conference and one of the most selective venues in the field, rated CCF A
• ★AI/ML for networking now heads the call-for-papers topic list rather than sitting in a satellite track, and the call adds AI/ML ethics for networking as a first-class area
• ★Explicitly solicits agentic communication and networking — a topic most networking venues have not yet formalised into a submission category
• ★Rigorous double-blind review across the whole technical program, with an early-reject round that publishes its own dated notification
• ★Returns to Hawaii for 2027 after London in 2025, Vancouver in 2024 and Hoboken, New Jersey in 2023

IEEE INFOCOM 2027 registration rates have not been published yet. IEEE ComSoc normally posts tiered rates (IEEE member, non-member, student and life member) once the technical program is settled in early 2027. One pricing rule is already stated in the author instructions: an author of an accepted paper must register at the full rate, and the non-refundable fee must be paid before the camera-ready version can be uploaded.
