N2 - Communication networks have evolved into critical infrastructure that underpins a vast range of consumer and industrial applications - from AR/VR and autonomous driving to smart manufacturing and telemedicine. Yet, current networking paradigms exhibit fundamental limitations in flexibility, scalability, service differentiation, mobility, security, and global operability, constraining their ability to meet emerging demands for intelligent, adaptive, and service-aware connectivity. The Polymorphic Network (PN) represents a next-generation architectural paradigm that unifies control and dynamic orchestration of forwarding behaviors and heterogeneous resources across the entire network. Building upon programmable networking foundations, PN enables the seamless coexistence and evolution of diverse networking paradigms (e.g., IP, NDN, MobilityFirst) while extending programmability into the computation, storage, and forwarding domains. This workshop invites contributions addressing the theory, design, implementation, applications, and operational insights of polymorphic networks, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue on how PN can drive the evolution of intelligent, secure, and adaptive future networks.
