First Workshop on Agentic and AI-Native Media Delivery over Edge-Cloud Systems
Co-located with CNSM 2026 | Alcalá de Henares (Madrid), SpainAIMM-Edge 2026 is co-located with IEEE/IFIP CNSM 2026.
As new classes of (immersive, interactive, and personalised) media services emerge, next-generation media delivery systems are met with new challenges and need to deliver this content efficiently and intelligently across distributed edge-cloud infrastructures. To achieve this cost-effectively at scale and across hybrid infrastructures, novel approaches are required.
Media systems are entering an agentic era, in which autonomous AI agents—able to reason, plan, and act with limited human intervention—operate the networks, platforms, and services that deliver media.
By agentic and AI-native, we mean media delivery systems designed from the ground up around such agents and learning-driven control loops, rather than having AI bolted onto existing operational silos.
AIMM-Edge 2026 invites research and operational experience papers on the management, orchestration, and observability of agentic and AI-native media delivery across edge-cloud infrastructures, spanning transport, CDN coordination, autonomous service management, and quality of experience (QoE).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
| Milestone | Date |
|---|---|
| Workshop Date | October 30, 2026 (TBC) |
| Workshop Papers Submission Deadline | August 14, 2026 |
| Notification of Acceptance | September 11, 2026 |

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished high-quality research papers aligned with CNSM workshop policy.
Papers have to be submitted electronically in PDF format through the EDAS conference management system. For accepted papers, at least one author is expected to register and present the paper in person at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore.
