APNet 2026
Asia-Pacific Workshop on Networking
APNet 2026 is the 10th Asia-Pacific Workshop on Networking, co-located with ACM SIGCOMM 2026 in Singapore, designed to provide a forum for early-stage, promising networking research ideas. It focuses on facilitating feedback for short papers that may later evolve into full conference submissions, with an emphasis on innovation in networking systems, AI-driven networking, and emerging infrastructure.
