To enhance the reproducibility and replicability of scientific findings authors are encouraged to make their data and code open-source via anonymous online repository (e.g., anonymous GitHub). Reviewers are not required to review the data or code.
IEEE INFOCOM incorporates a rigorous double-blind review process. The review assignment will be based on the review assignment system described in the following paper, which analyzes the submitted manuscripts and the representative publications of TPC members and matches the submissions to TPC members’ expertise and interests.

Papers that present data that include experiments on or with humans or animals and/or presentation or analysis of personally identifiable information, including aggregated data, must have the appropriate approval from the author(s)’ institution(s). An explicit statement about the approval must be included in the paper (with appropriate anonymization in the paper submitted for review).
PREPRINTS POLICY
While a paper is under submission to the IEEE INFOCOM, authors may choose to present their work and talk about it, post a preprint of the paper to an archival repository such as arXiv, and disclose security vulnerabilities to vendors. Authors should refrain from widely advertising their results. The reviewers are not under any obligation to check the archive in evaluating the manuscript.
RESEARCH ETHICS
Authors of all submissions must consider the ethics of their work. Without sufficient precautions, research endeavors can lead to negative outcomes. Due to the complexity of today's networking and communication systems, people could experience negative outcomes either directly or indirectly in unexpected ways (see The Menlo Report).
CONFLICT OF INTEREST (COI)
Before submission, please update your CoIs in the EDAS system. A CoI occurs when a person’s objective judgment is — or is perceived by a reasonable observer — compromised by an existing relationship, affiliation, or connection to a person whose work they must evaluate.
The following are considered to be specific examples of relationships that produce CoIs. Individuals in such relationships should not be involved in peer review of, or making editorial decisions about, materials provided by the related parties.
The lifelong relationship between a Ph.D. student and his/her Ph.D. supervisor
Within the last 24 months or reasonably expected within the next year:
Working closely together (e.g., at the same institution, company, or organization; or within the same organizational team).
Recipients of joint funding or significant professional collaboration.
Joint authorship of an archival publication.
Personal or family relationships that would reasonably cause others to doubt the impartiality of the review
Notable personal or professional conflicts (publicly known or not).
SUBMISSION CAP, LENGTH, AND FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS
An individual may be listed as author or co-author on at most FIVE papers submitted to IEEEE INFOCOM 2026. In the event that an individual exceeds this limit, only the first five papers received before the deadline will be considered for review, and the remainder will be rejected without review. Submitted papers must be written in English, with a maximum length limit of 10 printed pages. The main text (including figures, tables, appendices, and any material other than references) must be no more than 9 pages. Papers that do not comply with the length limit will not be reviewed. Use the standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
If the paper is typeset in LaTeX, please use an unmodified version of the LaTeX template IEEEtran.cls version 1.8, and use the preamble: \documentclass[10pt, conference, letterpaper]{ IEEEtran}
Do not use additional LaTeX commands or packages to override and change the default typesetting choices in the template, including line spacing, font sizes, margins, space between the columns, and font types. This implies that the manuscript must use 10-point Times font, two-column formatting, as well as all default margins and line spacing requirements as dictated by the original version of IEEEtran.cls version 1.8. If you are using Microsoft Word to format your paper, you should use an unmodified version of the Microsoft Word IEEE Transactions template (US letter size). Regardless of the source of your paper formatting, you must submit your paper in Adobe PDF format.
The paper must print clearly and legibly, including all the figures, on standard black-and-white printers. Reviewers are not required to read your paper in color. The submitted manuscript should be self-contained. Inclusion of additional material (e.g., a technical report containing the detailed math proof through an anonymous Dropbox or OneDrive link) is not allowed.
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract Due: Thursday, July 24, 2025 (11:59 p.m., AOE)
Full Paper Due: Thursday, July 31, 2025 (11:59 p.m., AOE)
