The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Networking 2023 Conference (IFIP NETWORKING 2023) will be held in Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, in the beautiful city of Barcelona, Spain. This is the 22th event of the series, sponsored by the IFIP Technical Committee on Communication Systems (TC6). Accepted papers will be published in the IFIP Digital Library and indexed by the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. High quality papers will be recommended for fast-track publications in selected journals.

The main objective of Networking 2023 is to bring together members of the networking community, from both academia and industry, to discuss recent advances in the broad and quickly-evolving fields of computer and communication networks, to highlight key issues, identify trends, and develop a vision for future Internet technology, operation, and use.

The technical sessions will be structured around, but are not limited to, the following areas (in alphabetical order):

    5G/6G networks and beyond
