Call for abstracts / AIRCN'26

Symposium on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics & Cybersecurity
16 – 17 December 2026NIT, Rahmania, AlgiersHybrid: In-person & Online
Contribution types

AIRCN'26 runs a call for abstracts only, with no full papers. Submit an abstract presenting an original contribution: accepted abstracts are presented at the symposium and published in the book of abstracts.

Submission guidelines

  1. 1

    Abstracts must present original work that is not published or under review elsewhere.

  2. 2

    Written in English, following the abstract template.

  3. 3

    Double-blind review: remove author names, affiliations and identifying acknowledgements from the PDF.

  4. 4

    At least two reviews per abstract; similarity checks apply and excessive overlap leads to rejection.

  5. 5

    Use of generative AI tools must be disclosed; authors remain responsible for the content.

  6. 6

    At least one author of each accepted abstract must register and present the work, in person or online.

The abstract template link will be announced here.
