About CENet2026
The 16th International Conference on Computer Engineering and Networks (CENet2026) brings together academic researchers and industry professionals working in computer engineering and network technologies. The three day conference runs from October 16 to 18, 2026, with sessions held in Hengyang, China, and a parallel session in Jinan. This dual location format allows broader participation across the region.
CENet2026 continues a 16 year tradition of providing a platform for sharing research findings, discussing emerging trends, and building professional relationships across institutional and geographic boundaries. The conference follows a traditional academic format with paper submissions, presentations, and structured networking opportunities.
Technical Focus Areas
The conference program spans four main technical tracks. Internet of Things and Smart Systems covers connected device architectures and intelligent system design. The communication systems track addresses detection, analysis, and application challenges in modern networks. Medical engineering and information systems explores healthcare technology applications, while a dedicated track examines practical implementations across various domains.
These topics reflect the intersection of hardware, software, and network infrastructure that defines contemporary computer engineering research. The program structure encourages cross disciplinary discussion, particularly where communication systems support IoT deployments or enable medical information applications.
Publication Opportunities
CENet2026 maintains relationships with several academic journals and publication platforms. Referenced outlets include Computers, Materials and Continua; Computer Modeling in Engineering and Sciences; KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Systems; Journal of Robotics, Intelligent Agents, and Artificial Intelligence; International Journal of Sensor Networks; Eksploatacja i Niezawodnosc (Maintenance and Reliability); Journal of Web Engineering; Computing and Informatics; and Journal on Advances in Signal Processing.
