Shaping the Next Era of Intelligent Connectivity and Distributed Intelligence
The Premier Conference on Smart Next-Generation Networking Technologies
July 27 - 29, 2026, Bodrum, Turkey
About the Conference
The 10th International Conference on Future Networks and Distributed Systems (ICFNDS) serves as a premier international forum for researchers, academics, industry professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss the latest innovations, trends, challenges, and solutions in the fields of future networks and distributed systems. As digital infrastructures continue to evolve rapidly, the conference highlights the growing importance of intelligent, scalable, secure, and resilient networked systems that support emerging applications across industry, government, healthcare, smart cities, transportation, and beyond.
ICFNDS 2026 aims to bring together a diverse global community to exchange ideas on both theoretical advances and practical implementations, covering a wide spectrum of topics ranging from core networking technologies and distributed computing architectures to cutting-edge paradigms such as AI-driven networking, edge-cloud continuum, 6G, IoT ecosystems, cyber-physical systems, blockchain-enabled infrastructures, network security, and trustworthy distributed intelligence.
The conference welcomes original, high-quality, and unpublished research contributions addressing fundamental challenges, novel methodologies, experimental studies, prototype implementations, and real-world industrial experiences. By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, ICFNDS 2026 seeks to accelerate innovation and shape the future of interconnected and distributed digital systems.
As the conference celebrates its 10th edition, ICFNDS 2026 provides a unique opportunity to reflect on the progress made in the field while exploring new directions for next-generation networked and distributed environments that are more adaptive, efficient, sustainable, and human-centered.
