CALLS FOR PAPPERS

The Cloud-Network Convergence(CNC) is a critical step towards realizing the full potential of the Artificial Intelligence(AI), Internet of Things(IoT), edge computing, and the next wave of digital transformation. The core of CNC is to develop a framework that enables seamless interaction between cloud services and wireless networks, facilitating faster and more reliable access to resources. The proposed initiative will address the challenges of adapting cloud architectures to support the unique requirements of wireless technologies, such as 5G, and the anticipated 6G. It will also explore the potential for wireless network innovations to revolutionize cloud service delivery, emphasizing low latency, high bandwidth, and ubiquitous coverage. Key areas of focus will include network resource optimization, security protocols for wireless cloud access, and scalable solutions to support the growing demand for cloud-connected applications and services.
