HAICAI 2026 aims to address several issues in five distinct pillars. 

Submission Guidelines

1. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Review manuscripts should describe original work and should be no more than 8 pages in the ACM proceedings format including tables, figures and references. Note that accepted papers up to 6 pages will be published with no additional charge. Exceeding pages will be charged an additional fee. Only registered and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Please use the ACM Digital Library template as described here.
2. All papers for HAICAI 2026 should be submitted via EasyChair using https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=haicai2026

Venue

The conference will be held in Athens, Greece, April 23-24, 2026.

Publication

Accepted papers will be included in the HAICAI 2026 Proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion to the ACM Digital Library. All HAICAI conference series Proceedings will be indexed by dblp and Scopus. This makes the HAICAI 2026 conference one of the publication venues with very high visibility and impact in its areas.
