    1. Neuromorphic source coding and compression
    2. Channel coding and decoding with neuromorphic computing
    3. Digital modulation and demodulation with neuromorphic models
    4. Synchronization, channel estimation, and equalization
  • Neuromorphic Computing Methods
    1. Neuromorphic computing for signal processing and time-series
    2. Hybrid neuromorphic–DSP architectures and pipelines
    3. Training, adaptation, and continual learning of neuromorphic models in networks
  • Hardware and Systems
    1. Embedded neuromorphic processors
    2. FPGA/ASIC implementations of neuromorphic-based processing
    3. Energy vs. performance trade-offs
    4. Co-design of hardware and higher level network-oriented algorithms
  • Applications
    1. Wireless sensor networks and IoT
    2. Physical layer security (PLS)
    3. Time-series forecasting and anomaly detection in networks
    4. Edge intelligence for communication systems
    5. Neuromorphic-based sensing and control

    SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
    Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. All submissions will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on reviews by the Technical Program Committee.

    Manuscripts must be submitted by using the HotCRP conference management system at https://neurophy26.hotcrp.com. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a single PDF file with all fonts embedded, using the EWSN-modified ACM conference proceedings format (Overleaf template here).

    Paper length is limited to six (6) pages (letter-size in two-column, 10-point format), all-inclusive (references, figures, etc.). Papers will go through a double-blind peer review process and must not include author names and affiliations, nor clear reference to the authors' previous work that might disclose the authors' identities. Existence or availability of non-anonymous preprints (on arXiv or other preprint servers) is allowed and will not lead to your paper being rejected. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the EWSN proceedings and will be archived in the ACM Digital Library and indexed in SCOPUS.

    IMPORTANT DATES:
    Research Paper submission: June 20th 2026
    Research Paper acceptance notification: July 30th 2026
    Camera ready: August 5th 2026
    Workshop: September 16th 2026
