Welcome to The International Conference on Modern Computing, Networking and Applications (MCNA2026)

About the Conference:

By 2030, 94% of enterprises are expected to utilize cloud services, while the quantum computing market is set to reach $3.18 billion. AI is rapidly growing, with the market projected to hit $1.8 trillion. Additionally, edge computing is expected to expand at a CAGR of 38.9%. On the networking side, 5G is projected to cover 40% of the global population, and the IoT is anticipated to drive the installation of over 75 billion devices worldwide. Cybersecurity spending is expected to reach $266 billion, reflecting the critical need for security solutions. Multimedia and computer vision applications are evolving rapidly, driven by innovations in AI, machine learning, and cloud computing, transforming industries such as healthcare, education, entertainment, and smart cities. In healthcare alone, AI applications are expected to grow to $208 billion. The market for smart cities is projected to reach $3.5 trillion, and the autonomous vehicles sector is anticipated to grow to $11 billion. We invite researchers, professionals, and academics to submit papers for the International Conference on Modern Computing, Networking, and Applications, focusing on cutting-edge developments in these fields. We seek contributions that explore innovations and applications in these areas, as well as topics in data management, blockchain, software-defined networking, AI-driven business solutions, multimedia systems, and computer vision. The conference will include research presentations, industry case studies, and hands-on workshops.

Call for Workshop Proposals

MCNA will host a series of workshops and is also inviting new workshop proposals. The purpose of the workshops is to emphasize current and emerging topics of particular interest to the community.

Proposal Format

Each workshop proposal must include (maximum 4 pages, in PDF format):

  • Title of the workshop.
  • Workshop organizers (name, affiliation and short biography).
  • Scope and topics of the workshop.
  • Rationale:
    • Why the workshop is related to MCNA
    • Why the topic is important.
    • Why the workshop may attract a significant number of attendees.
  • Workshop details:
    • A draft call for papers (including organizers, program committee, and steering committee if any). Organizers are expected to be fully committed and physically present at the workshop.
    • Workshop tentative schedule (number of expected papers, duration full/half day, format talks/posters, etc.). We encourage full-day events that demonstrate the interest of the community in the proposed topic and guarantee the commitment of the organizers.
