APEC-CS 2027 — Pioneering Sustainable Intelligence, 6G Wireless Systems, and Environmental Computing
Khalifa University Campus & Convention Center, Abu Dhabi
On behalf of the Organizing Committee and Technical Program Committee, it is our distinct privilege to welcome you to the 32nd Asia-Pacific & International Conference on Communications, Computing and Environmental Intelligence (APEC-CS 2027), held on the landmark campus of Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Since its inaugural edition in 1993, this conference has stood as an authoritative international gathering for telecommunication engineers, computer scientists, and systems researchers across the Asia-Pacific basin and worldwide. Today, as computing and communications systems intersect with the global imperatives of environmental sustainability and physical artificial intelligence, APEC-CS 2027 bridges the gap between deep mathematical foundations and impactful societal applications.
The technical program will encompass five regular research tracks and two specialized sessions covering 6G semantic networks, low-carbon computing infrastructures, post-quantum security, and multimodal agentic intelligence. In addition, we are honored to host four world-class plenary lectures, interactive workshop colloquia, and an enriching cultural social banquet in historic Abu Dhabi.
We look forward to your active paper contributions, fruitful technical exchanges, and in-person fellowship this coming November.
All submission deadlines are firm and strictly set to 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE).

We invite prospective authors to submit original technical papers reflecting fundamental research advances across 5 regular tracks and 2 special sessions.
Explores fundamental mathematical paradigms, physical layer advancements, and semantic information processing for beyond-5G and 6G wireless infrastructures.
Focuses on decentralized computing architectures, workload offloading, containerized microservices, and AI-driven telemetry in edge-cloud continuum.
Dedicated to environmentally sustainable computational systems, zero-energy IoT sensing, ambient energy harvesting, and climate modeling algorithms.
Addresses emerging threats in connected infrastructures, quantum-resistant algorithms, confidential computing, and zero-trust verification frameworks.
Investigates deep agentic reasoning, multimodal reasoning models, neurosymbolic AI, and safety-aligned real-world autonomous agents.
Focuses on ultra-low latency point-cloud streaming, holographic telepresence, and multimodal synchronization for immersive collaborative spaces.
Explores smart electromagnetic environments, LEO satellite constellations, high-altitude platform stations (HAPS), and non-terrestrial networks.
Featuring pioneering leaders from the National Academy of Engineering, IEEE Fellows, and renowned international research laboratories.
The exponential growth in connected smart objects, tactile internet services, and environmental sensors necessitates fundamentally new wireless network architectures. This keynote presents breakthrough mathematical models for semantic-aware wireless communication, intelligent reflecting surface orchestration, and distributed energy minimization.
Traditional cryptographic paradigms face existential challenges from emerging quantum computational threats. This lecture explores information-theoretic security foundations integrated directly into the physical and semantic layers of future wireless networks, enabling provable resilience against eavesdropping and active jamming.
We are witnessing a convergence between generative foundation models and wireless telecommunications. This talk details practical hardware-in-the-loop deployments of real-time semantic compression, sub-terahertz beam tracking, and edge-native neural radios developed at Khalifa University.
Deploying machine learning models to untrusted edge environments exposes systems to evasion attacks, poisoning, and data inversion. This address outlines principled zero-trust verification mechanisms that guarantee provenance, model integrity, and differential privacy across heterogeneous edge-cloud federations.
