************************* IOI-2026 Call for Papers**********************
The 6th International Conference on Internet of Intelligence (IOI-2026)
https://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/ioi2026
Exeter, UK, 26-28 October 2026

INTRODUCTION
=============
The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), next-generation networking, edge/cloud computing, and smart devices is giving rise to a transformative paradigm: the Internet of Intelligence (IOI). In this paradigm, intelligence is no longer confined to isolated models or systems, but is distributed, connected, and continuously coordinated across humans, machines, networks, services, and applications. This transformation is enabling a broad range of emerging applications and industrial sectors, including smart manufacturing, autonomous transportation, digital healthcare, immersive communications, robotics, and cyber-physical systems. Data, models, knowledge, and intelligence generated across these interconnected ecosystems are becoming critical assets for improving system efficiency, service quality, resilience, adaptability, and user experience. However, how to effectively orchestrate, share, and trust intelligence over highly distributed and heterogeneous environments remains a fundamental research challenge. It has attracted growing interest from both academia and industry, yet significant innovations are still needed to realise a scalable, secure, efficient, and trustworthy Internet of Intelligence.
IOI-2026 aims to address the key challenges and opportunities arising from distributed intelligence, dynamic networked systems, massive data-model collaboration, and increasingly diverse application demands. The conference provides a premier international forum for researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to exchange ideas, present breakthroughs, and discuss the latest advances and ongoing work on all aspects of the Internet of Intelligence. It seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration on theories, architectures, algorithms, systems, and applications that will shape the future of intelligent interconnected worlds.
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to IOI-2026. All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and will be submitted for indexing by Engineering Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.


SCOPE AND TOPICS
================
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Track 1: Foundations and Architectures of Internet of Intelligence
Track 2: Intelligent Communications, Networking and Systems
Track 3: Trustworthy, Secure and Efficient Intelligence
Track 4: Applications and Services for Internet of Intelligence


PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE
==========================
All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website (https://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/ioi/) with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 10 pages with over length charge) including figures and references using IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style (two columns, single-spaced, 10 fonts).
Once accepted, the paper will be included into the conference proceedings published by Conference Publishing Services (submitted for indexing by EI). At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register the paper at the conference.
