*********************************************************************************


For the 2022 edition, ICIN is focusing on the move towards “NextG” and the
upcoming 6G that is clearly up-to-the-minute and probably happening faster
than expected now that initial 5G deployments are a reality. Considering
the many challenges that the emerging paradigms and technologies will
bring, the theme for ICIN 2022 is: “Paving the way to an inclusive and
sustainable 6G”.

The conference will foster discussion about new ideas and novel approaches
for future 6G networks and services and their enabling technologies and
mechanisms in the emerging scenario of immersive connectivity, security and
intelligence. With this vision, the conference will look beyond the current
state of the art and promote the advances of network of networks with
control and management approaches that foster reliability and optimality
for applications and services that leverage societies and business.

Interested authors are invited to submit papers presenting novel technical
research, research related to business impact or mechanisms of new
technologies, as well as broader position and visionary papers.
Contributions that discuss lessons learnt and best practices, describe
practical deployment and implementation experiences as well as
demonstrating innovative use-cases are also and especially encouraged.
