International Workshop on Intelligent and Converged Networks (WICN) 

co-located with IEEE MASS 2023 in Toronto, Canada on Sept 27, 2023

Intelligent and Converged Networks (ICN) draws its name from the accelerating convergence of different fields of communication technology and the growing influence of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This workshop (WICN 2023) is devoted to exchanging innovative ideas in emerging intelligent and converged networks. It is intended to foster cooperation among researchers in this area, and push the existing research forward for a deeper understanding about intelligent and converged networks.
