The continuous evolution of Ambient Systems, Networks, and Enterprise Digital Transformation demands a focused approach to the Digital Human Factor. This workshop addresses the critical dual challenge of designing technology that promotes user wellbeing and autonomy while effectively detecting and mitigating the pervasive risks associated with digital compulsion and addiction. We seek contributions that bridge HCI, network science, and pervasive computing to create healthier, more ethical digital ecosystems.

PDF 2026 is running in conjunction with the 17th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT 2026).

The conference proceedings will be published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series.

Procedia Computer Science is hosted by Elsevier on www.Elsevier.com and on the Elsevier content platform ScienceDirect (www.sciencedirect.com), and will be freely available worldwide. All papers in Procedia will be indexed by Scopus (www.scopus.com) and by Thomson Reuters' Conference Proceedings Citation Index (https://thomsonreuters.com/conference-proceedings-citation-index/).

All papers in Procedia will also be indexed by Engineering Village (Ei) (www.engineeringvillage.com). This includes EI Compendex (www.ei.org/compendex). Moreover, all accepted papers will be indexed in DBLP (https://dblp.uni-trier.de/). The papers will contain linked references, XML versions and citable DOI numbers. You will be able to provide a hyperlink to all delegates and direct your conference website visitors to your proceedings.
