Special Sessions

Special sessions are very small and specialized events to be held during the conference as a set of oral and poster presentations that are highly specialized in some particular theme or consisting of the works of some particular international project. The goal of special sessions (minimum 4 papers; maximum 9) is to provide a focused discussion on innovative topics. All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference. The proceedings are abstracted/indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, INSPEC, Japanese Science and Technology Agency (JST), Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals and Series, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, Scopus and zbMATH. CCIS volumes are also submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings.


Special Session proposals are accepted until:

May 27, 2026


If you wish to propose a new Special Session please kindly fill out and submit this Expression of Interest form.

Scope

Agentic and generative AI represent groundbreaking technologies that are set to revolutionize human activities across all domains. They merge advanced AI models, like large language models (LLMs), with semi-autonomous intelligent agents capable of analyzing massive data sets, setting objectives, and acting with minimal human supervision. The goal of agentic AI is to automate and optimize collaborative tasks and business operations, enabling continuous improvement in a dynamic and scalable manner that traditional deterministic systems cannot easily achieve. This industrial session aims to provide a space for AI researchers to meet representatives of business and industry working with and on AI technologies and will include presentations, demos and discussions. Submissions of potential PhD students who prepare their PhD within or in strong cooperation with industry are also highly encouraged .

This session aims also to bridge the gap between foundational AI research and practical industrial deployment, pioneering scalable, intelligent tools that empower the next generation of resilient, autonomous, and adaptive industrial systems. 

Finally, this session will give us all opportunities for networking and exchange of experiences regarding the applications of AI in industry.
