Low-altitude intelligent networks (LAINs) are emerging as a foundational component in the development of next-generation airspace systems, driven by advances in UAV technologies, intelligent connectivity, and the growing low-altitude economy. This Special session focuses on the theoretical foundations, key technologies, and practical frameworks to enable intelligent, safe, and efficient aerial networking in low-altitude environments. It also addresses the integration of digital air routes and airspace infrastructure to support scalable and secure operations. We welcome original researches and visionary insights that push the boundaries of how we connect, manage, and optimize the low-altitude airspace. The topics include but not limited to:

• Low-altitude network architecture and protocols
• Low altitude wireless networks
• UAV traffic management
• Edge intelligence and computing in LAIN
• Cognitive radio for UAV networks
• Low-altitude spectrum sensing and dynamic allocation
• AI-enhanced trajectory planning and control in LAIN
• Cyber security in LAIN
• Space-air-ground integrated networking for low-altitude economy
• Self-healing drone networks
• Design and optimization of digital low-altitude air routes and airspace corridors

4. Click the ‘Submit Paper’ link within the track and follow the instructions.

• All papers must be submitted in English. 
• Previously published work cannot be submitted, nor can it be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. These papers will be rejected without review. 
• Papers must follow the Springer formatting guidelines (available in the Author’s Kit section). 
• Authors must read and agree to the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.
• As per new EU accessibility requirements, going forward, all figures, illustrations, tables, and images should have descriptive text accompanying them. Please refer to the document below, which will assist you in crafting Alternative Text (Alt Text)

HOW TO WRITE GOOD ALT TEXT

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

• Regular papers should be up to 12-20 pages in length.
• Short papers should be 6-11 pages in length.

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.

Papers must be formatted using the Springer LNICST Authors’ Kit.

Instructions and templates are available from Springer’s LNICST homepage:

• LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates (zip)
• Microsoft Word Proceedings Templates (zip)

Please make sure that your paper adheres to the format as specified in the instructions and templates.

When uploading the camera-ready copy of your paper, please be sure to upload both:

• a PDF copy of your paper formatted according to the above templates, and
• an archive file (e.g. zip, tar.gz) containing the both a PDF copy of your paper and LaTeX or Word source material prepared according to the above guidelines.
