The World Computing-Power Network Conference-Academic 2026 (WCNCA 2026) will be held in Shenzhen, China. WCNCA 2026 is launched as a new international forum dedicated to the emerging field of computing-power networks, where optical communication, networking, AI infrastructure, high-performance computing systems, and AI for Science are increasingly converging.
The rapid growth of large-scale AI, scientific computing, and data-intensive applications requires new networked computing infrastructures that integrate high-capacity optical transport, intelligent networking, distributed computing, and application-driven AI systems. Existing research is scattered across separate communities, and WCNCA 2026 aims to bridge these areas and promote cross-layer innovation.
Through academic exchange, industrial collaboration, keynote talks, technical sessions, and paper presentations, WCNCA 2026 will provide an interdisciplinary platform for researchers and practitioners from communications, computing, AI, HPC, and scientific applications.
WCNCA 2026 will be held in Shenzhen, China. Registration and detailed conference access information will be announced soon.
