Context
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping how distributed systems operate, collaborate, and adapt in complex and dynamic environments. From cloud-edge ecosystems to pervasive and autonomous networks, distributed systems enable scalability, context-awareness, and intelligent decision-making across heterogeneous infrastructures.
The DAISE-2026 workshop, to be held in conjunction with the ACS/IEEE 23rd International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA 2026), aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss advances, challenges, and emerging trends in distributed artificial intelligence, intelligent orchestration, and adaptive system design.
The workshop will focus on AI techniques, semantic reasoning, and learning-based coordination for next-generation distributed systems, emphasizing security, trust, and scalability.
Presentations for the workshop will be delivered in a hybrid mode, allowing both in-person and remote participation.
Topics
Call for Papers (CFP)
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original research and application papers exploring advances in AI for distributed, adaptive, and intelligent systems.
Topics of Interest
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Distributed AI architectures for pervasive environments
- Context-aware and adaptive computing systems
- Multi-agent and federated learning in pervasive contexts
