CALL FOR PAPERS
======================================================= The 12th Annual International Workshop on Innovating the Network for Data-Intensive Science (INDIS 2025) in conjunction with SC25 (Supercomputing) St. Louis, Missouri, USA | November 16th, 2025
The Innovating the Network for Data-Intensive Science (INDIS) workshophttps://urldefense.com/v3/__https://scinet.supercomputing.org/community/indis/__;!!OSsGDw!ITlWh3FG8lugAfuqC_jR6NBDOzrKn9-Di-d_m744aXetmEnVs8EKxLqBnGPNa_bd3yE_0lU$ [scinet.supercomputing.org]https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://scinet.supercomputing.org/community/indis/__;!!OSsGDw!ITlWh3FG8lugAfuqC_jR6NBDOzrKn9-Di-d_m744aXetmEnVs8EKxLqBnGPNa_bd3yE_0lU$ brings together network researchers and engineers to share findings, challenges and potential solutions in distributed computing, information systems and networking communities. With its inaugural appearance at SC14 in New Orleans, INDIS has become an academic forum for experts, researchers, and engineers in research and education (R&E) networking.
The continuing evolution of advanced networks will not only require the synthesis of existing technologies but will also rely on new opportunities for novel research in both industry and academia. Several trends have developed in the scientific networking community that are expected to have a significant impact over the next 5-10 years and have the potential to bring the world closer to realizing truly Intelligent Networks. These include:
* The availability of network visibility and telemetry
* The role of in-network and Edge compute resources
* AI for networks and networks for AI
* The use of testbeds and the Cloud in advanced scientific workflows
* Multi-domain integrated infrastructure with a focus on security, portability, and automation
In this spirit, we invite researchers and engineers to submit high-quality technical academic papers to the 12th Annual International Workshop on Innovating the Network for Data-Intensive Science (INDIS 2025). The workshop will be held in conjunction with the SC25: IEEE/ACM International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (Supercomputing), which will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, November 16-21, 2025. We invite papers that propose new and novel techniques that increase the capacity and functionality of scientific computing and high-performance networks. This workshop encourages submissions that address one or more of the workshop topics addressing networking research challenges and developments that are essential in information systems infrastructure for the scientific discovery process.
We also welcome participants from SCinet to present high-quality experimental papers on their latest designs and solutions. SCinet, as the high-speed network engine of the SC conference, represents state of the art, connects many demonstrators of big science data processing infrastructures at the highest line speeds, deploys the newest technologies available, and demonstrates network instrumentation techniques and novel functionality. The show floor network connects to many laboratories and universities worldwide using high-bandwidth connections.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
1. Network innovations: novel approaches, protocols and algorithms to meet the current and emerging requirements for data intensive applications.
2. High-performance network testbeds and simulations for parallel and distributed science experiments and workloads.
3. High-performance and large-scale network monitoring, control, and management services.
4. Software-defined networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in service of data science applications.
5. AI and machine learning algorithms for network telemetry, performance measurements, network and Input/Output (I/O) profile analytics, and high-touch solutions on network packets, flows and hardware stats to identify patterns and troubleshooting issues.
6. Compute in-network (aka edge-middleware computing platforms) and offloaded infrastructure services on programmable hardware (e.g. FPGA).
7. High-performance data streaming and memory-to-memory transfer applications and techniques.
8. Wireless and Quantum networking and testbeds.
9. End-to-end quality of service (QoS) performance and Traffic Engineering (TE) applications.
10. Multi-domain networking, including hybrid clouds and multi-domain authorization.
11. Scientific data privacy, security, integrity, provenance and sharing in multi-domain environments.
Important Dates:
Paper Submission due: August 1st, 2025
Notification of acceptance: September 5th, 2025
Camera-ready version: September 26th, 2025
Workshop Date: November 16th, 2025
Submission Guidelines:
Papers will be published in the SC25 conference workshop proceedings upon approval. Workshop papers are expected to be 8-10 pages (including references) for full papers and 5-6 pages (including references) for short papers describing novel work in the topics of interest. Short papers that highlight early experimental testbed results and network integration breakthroughs are highly encouraged. Experiments from SCinet and the show floor are encouraged (e.g. Traveling FABRIC node). The minimum number of pages to be eligible for publication in the SC workshop proceedings is 5 pages (including references). Submissions should use the IEEE conference template and be submitted via the SC Linklings system.
