As networks continue to grow in scale, complexity, and heterogeneity, traditional rule-based or optimization-driven approaches struggle to cope with dynamic environments, massive data volumes, and stringent performance requirements. Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are increasingly being integrated into communication and networking systems, enabling data-driven, adaptive, and intelligent solutions. The AI/ML for Networks & Networks for AI/ML track seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from networking, communications, machine learning, and data science to explore two complementary directions: 1. AI/ML for Networks – advancing the design, control, and management of networks using AI/ML; and 2. Networks for AI/ML – leveraging networks to optimize and accelerate the deployment, training, and inference of AI/ML models at scale. We welcome original contributions that span theory, algorithms, architectures, system implementations, prototypes, and experimental evaluations. Submissions with novelty, scalability, interdisciplinary perspectives, or strong practical value are particularly encouraged.
