Elevate your experience attending the conference with the official app for IEEE INFOCOM! IEEE INFOCOM is one of the flagship academic conferences in the area of computer communications and networking, sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society. Whether or not you may be attending the conference in person, the INFOCOM app has been redesigned from the ground up in 2024 to serve your needs by providing you the information whenever you need it. It is designed to be easy to use, convenient, and fast, and with your privacy taken very seriously. Attending a conference as large as INFOCOM, with over 500 talks, posters and demos, organized in over 160 technical sessions in the main program and workshops, is often a daunting experience. You may find yourself wondering where to go! To help you find your favourite sessions, the INFOCOM app allows you to: * Access the entire program schedule of the conference, with real-time updates in case the program schedule is updated during the conference * Search through the entire technical program, by searching for session titles, talk titles, author names, and abstracts with instantaneous results * As-you-type search with search results updating in real-time * Add a talk to your favorites * Schedule reminder notifications for up to 64 talks in the conference * Review more details about any session or talk, including showing the session that a talk belongs to * Supports both light mode and dark mode * Recommendations for similar talks, ranked by the similarity scores between camera-ready papers * Chat with Qwen 3.5 0.8B, a locally deployed model, about the conference program You can download and export any of the papers in the entire INFOCOM proceedings β€” including the program-at-a-glance and all the workshop programs β€” right within the app. Since conference venues often have poor Internet connections, the app works completely offline without connecting to the network, when you are viewing or searching through the entire schedule. Whenever there are new updates to sessions and talks, the app will be silently updated in real-time. You may also pull down to update the conference program at any time. We respect your privacy: your favorites and reminders will never leave your iOS device and will not be synchronized to the cloud. You do not need to sign in to use any of the features in the app. It is designed to be simple, private, and fast to use.
