About the conference

ATAI 2026 gathers researchers, academics, industry engineers, and government technologists to discuss applied computational intelligence. Sessions mix keynote talks from academia and industry with presentations of accepted peer-reviewed articles.

The chapter runs the conference in hybrid mode, so authors who cannot travel to Houston present online. Post-conference proceedings go to the open access book series Computing and Intelligent Systems (ISSN 3048-5649, online). The series is indexed in Google Scholar, and accepted articles receive a DOI, ISBN, and ISSN.

Full conference administration, submission handling, and registration run on the IoES platform. Use the official ATAI 2026 site as the authoritative source for deadlines and committee listings.
