Scope & Overview

The Space-Terrestrial Internetworking Workshop (STINT) brings together researchers and practitioners working on networking challenges in space-terrestrial environments. The workshop focuses on cutting-edge research in space networking, including Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN), Internet of Things (IoT) in space, routing protocols, and hybrid space-terrestrial architectures.

STINT provides a forum for discussing the latest advances in space-terrestrial internetworking, including protocol design, network architectures, security, and applications. The workshop encourages submissions that address both theoretical and practical aspects of networking in challenging space environments.

Topics of Interest

  • Space-terrestrial network architectures
  • Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN)
  • Routing protocols for space networks
  • IoT in space environments
  • Security and privacy in space networks
  • Hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks
  • Network simulation and emulation
  • Applications of space-terrestrial networking

Call for Papers

We invite full original research papers (6 pages) on all aspects of space-terrestrial internetworking. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the IEEE WiSEE 2025 proceedings.

Papers must follow the IEEE conference template (double-column, 10pt font) and should be submitted in PDF format through the IEEE WiSEE submission portal in EDAS (STINT is a "Workshop Tracks" topic).

History of STINT

STINT Icon

The Space-Terrestrial Internetworking Workshop (STINT) was established to bring together researchers and practitioners working on networking challenges in space-terrestrial environments. Since its inception, STINT has grown to become a premier forum for discussing the latest advances in space networking.

STINT has been co-located with several major conferences, including IEEE WiSEE, IEEE ICC, and IEEE Globecom. Each edition has contributed to advancing the state of the art in space-terrestrial internetworking, with papers and discussions that have influenced both research and operational systems.
