The conference, arranged by Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), provided a forum for researchers, practitioners, developers, and users from academia, industry, and government to interact, present, and exchange new research ideas and results.

The conference invited all the keynote speakers to discuss the recent advances in theoretical and experimental research addressing the rich space of computer networks, networking systems, and security across academia and industry.

It highlighted various topics, including knowledge graph, limitations on malicious secure protocols, cross-layer security of embedded and cyber-physical systems (CPS) in the era of IoT, and machine learning for computer program synthesis. NSysS is the only conference in Bangladesh having technical co-sponsorship from ACM Chapter and proceedings in the ACM Digital Library.

The three-day conference consists of 21 sessions from numerous speakers from all over the world including the USA, Canada, Bangladesh, Australia, and Saudi Arabia. Almost 100 participants have attended the conference, including registered speakers, organizers, and many more.
