The *Net-AI 2025* workshop addresses the transformative convergence of next-generation networks (6G and beyond), IoT, and Edge AI, which are critical to enabling ultra-intelligent, low-latency, and scalable future ecosystems. As 6G research gains momentum alongside AI-driven edge innovations, this workshop provides a timely forum to discuss challenges like AI-native network architectures, energy-efficient IoT-edge systems, and trustworthy wireless intelligence. By bridging academia and industry, *Net-AI 2025* aims to catalyze breakthroughs that will redefine connectivity, smart infrastructure, and emerging applications (e.g., metaverse, autonomous systems) for a hyper-connected world.

We invite the submission of original papers on all topics of interest include but are not limited to:

6G & Beyond Wireless Technologies: THz communications, AI-native network architectures, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), and O-RAN advancements
Next-Gen Network Protocols & Optimization: Ultra-low-latency systems, quantum networking, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), and network slicing
Edge AI & Distributed Intelligence: Federated learning for edge networks, lightweight AI/ML models, and real-time inference at the edge
IoT & Smart Connectivity: Massive IoT scalability, AI-driven IoT applications, and energy-efficient IoT-edge integration
Sustainable & Green Networks: Energy-efficient 6G systems, carbon-aware networking, and AI for reducing network energy footprints
Security, Privacy & Trust: Zero-trust architectures, physical-layer security, privacy-preserving AI, and adversarial robustness in wireless AI
Network Automation & Self-Healing Systems: AI-driven network management, autonomous fault detection, and self-optimizing networks
Emerging Applications & Use Cases: Metaverse-ready networks, UAV-assisted edge computing, holographic communications, and tactile internet
Standardization & Regulatory Challenges: Global 6G standardization efforts, spectrum allocation, and policy frameworks for next-gen networks
Industry-Academia Collaboration: Bridging research gaps, testbeds for 6G/Edge AI, and commercialization pathways

Authors Submission Guidelines:

Submission Site:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cyberai2025

Paper format

Submitted papers (.pdf format) must use the A4 IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings. Please remember to add Keywords to your submission.

Length

Submitted papers may be 6 to 8 pages. Up to two additional pages may be added for references. The reference pages must only contain references. Overlength papers will be rejected without review.

Originality

Papers submitted to DTL must be the original work of the authors. The may not be simultaneously under review elsewhere. Publications that have been peer-reviewed and have appeared at other conferences or workshops may not be submitted to DTL. Authors should be aware that IEEE has a strict policy with regard to plagiarism https://www.ieee.org/publications/rights/plagiarism/plagiarism-faq.html The authors' prior work must be cited appropriately.

Author list

Please ensure that you submit your papers with the full and final list of authors in the correct order. The author list registered for each submission is not allowed to be changed in any way after the paper submission deadline.

Proofreading:

Please proofread your submission carefully. It is essential that the language use in the paper is clear and correct so that it is easily understandable. (Either US English or UK English spelling conventions are acceptable.)

Publication:

All accepted papers in Cyber-AI2025 and the workshops collocated with it will be submitted to IEEEXplore for possible publication.
