SCOPE
________________________________________________________________________________________


The 23rd International Conference on Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence 2026 is an annual forum that will bring together ideas, projects and knowledge associated with distributed computing and artificial intelligence, and their application in different areas. This meeting will be held in University of Naples Federico II, Italy within PAAMS'26, from 21st-23rd October, 2026.Nowadays, most computing systems, ranging from personal laptops/computers to cluster/grid/cloud computing systems, are capable of parallel and distributed computing. Distributed computing performs an increasingly important role in modern signal/data processing, information fusion and electronics engineering (e.g., electronic commerce, mobile communications and wireless devices). Particularly, applying artificial intelligence in distributed environments is becoming an element of high added value and economic potential. Research on Intelligent Distributed Systems has matured over the last decade and many effective applications are now being deployed. Artificial intelligence is changing our society. Its application in distributed environments, such as the Internet, electronic commerce, mobile communications, wireless devices, distributed computing, is becoming more widespread, and is becoming an element of high added value and economic potential, in both industry and research. These technologies are changing constantly as a result of the large research and technical effort being undertaken in both universities and businesses. The exchange of ideas between scientists and technicians from both academic and business backgrounds is essential to facilitating the development of systems that meet the demands of today's society. Technology transfer in this field is still a challenge and for that reason this type of contributions will be given special consideration at this symposium.

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS PROPOSALS
________________________________________________________________________________________


DCAI'26 Special Sessions will be a very useful tool in order to complement the regular program with new or emerging topics of particular interest in the field of Distributed systems and Artificial Intelligence. Special Sessions that emphasize on multi-disciplinary and transversal aspects, as well as cutting-edge topics are especially encouraged and welcome. At least one of the authors will be required to register and attend the symposium to present the paper in order to include the paper in the conference proceedings.

All papers accepted for publication in the Special Sessions will be published in the DCAI 2026 proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems series.

At least one of the authors will be required to register and attend the symposium to present the paper in order to include the paper in the conference proceedings.

Prospective organizers of special sessions should submit proposals indicating:

- Title of the proposed session.
- Short biography of the organizer(s), with complete address for contact.
- List of tentative papers (including titles, authors, and contact information of the corresponding author/s).

Special session organizers should also contact a sufficient number of experts who are able to review the papers submitted to their session, bearing in mind that at least two reviews per paper are required in order to make the final assessment. The organizer of the special session may be one of these experts, or he may to propose an alternative referee.

One of the special sessions organizers will be invited to co-edit the proceedings of the conference.

Special Sessions proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic, the qualifications of the organizers and the authors of the papers proposed in the sessions, and the balance of the topics across the technical areas represented in Artificial Intelligence.

The procedure for the submission of the final papers is the same for all contributions, and it will be made through the DCAI 2026 web section. The authors are asked to indicate the Special Session title to which their paper is submitted.

We hope this offer will catch your attention. Should you be interested in submitting such a proposal, please contact us (info@dcai-conference.net) with a proposal before 13th February, 2026.

DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
________________________________________________________________________________________


The aim of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide a framework as part of which students can present their ongoing research work and meet other students and researchers and obtain feedback on lines of research for the future.

The Doctoral Consortium is intended for students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who are still far from completing their dissertation.

All proposals submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will undergo a thorough reviewing process with the aim of providing detailed and constructive feedback. The accepted submissions will be presented at the Doctoral Consortium and published in the conference proceedings.




PUBLICATION
________________________________________________________________________________________


Accepted papers will be included in DCAI Proceedings.

At least one of the authors will be required to register and attend the symposium, where they will present the paper, this will allow for its inclusion in conference proceedings. All the accepted papers will be published by Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems series of Springer Verlag.


** Indexing: The books of this series are submitted to DBLP, INSPEC, Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals and Series, SCImago, SCOPUS, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH, Google Scholar, Springerlink. **
