The main focus of the HPSR 2026 – the 27th edition of HPSR conference – will be to assess how breakthrough changes occurring to Future Communications and Computing Systems are affecting areas related to switching and routing, towards achieving self-governed networks. We are soliciting original and thought-provoking works on big data, data analytics, cloud and edge services, and artificial intelligent techniques applied to networking and switching and routing. Works on autonomous networks, intent-based networking, zero-touch networks, 5G/6G, Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing, social networks, network programmabilty, cybersecurity, virtualization, and other advanced topics are also welcome. Papers describing original, previously unpublished research, experimental efforts, practical experiences, as well as visionary roadmaps, in all aspects of switching and routing, and autonomous networks and systems are solicited.

IEEE 27th International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR) is technically sponsored by IEEE. The proceedings of the conference will be submitted for inclusion in prestigious databases such as Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Ei Compendex, DBLP, Google Scholar, and many others.
