Call for Workshop Proposals
Purpose of Workshops
Workshops at IDEA 2026 provide focused, interactive forums for discussing emerging research topics, novel methodologies, interdisciplinary ideas, and real-world challenges in intelligent data engineering and artificial intelligence. They complement the main conference by enabling deeper engagement on specialized themes and fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and practitioners.
Scope
- Emerging or rapidly evolving research areas
- Cross-disciplinary and cross-community topics
- Bridging theory and practice
- Open problems, challenges, and future directions
- Industrial experiences, deployments, and case studies
- Ethical, societal, and policy-related dimensions of AI
Workshops are expected to be highly interactive. Organizers are encouraged to go beyond traditional paper presentations and include panels, debates, breakout discussions, position papers, tutorials, demonstrations, or hands-on sessions.
Topics of Interest
Submissions should align broadly with the themes of IDEA 2026, including but not limited to:
- Intelligent data engineering and scalable systems
