PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Monday, October 13, 2025

The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics (ISAIM) is a biennial meeting that fosters interactions between mathematics, theoretical computer science, and artificial intelligence. This is the nineteenth Symposium in the series, which is sponsored by Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence. We seek submissions of recent results with a particular emphasis on the foundations of AI and mathematical methods used in AI. Papers describing applications are also encouraged, but the focus should be on principled lessons learned from the development of the application. Traditionally, the Symposium attracts participants from a variety of disciplines, thereby providing a unique forum for scientific exchange. The three-day Symposium includes invited speakers, presentations of technical papers, and special topic sessions.


SPECIAL TOPIC SESSIONS (ALREADY CONFIRMED):

o Cooperation, Competition, and Complexity in AI Planning and Learning
-Organized by Alan Kuhnle and Guni Sharon, Texas A&M University


CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS:

[DMANET] EuroVis 2026: Call for workshops

EuroVis 2026: Call for workshops

https://eurovis.org.uk/workshops/

We solicit workshops related to all areas of visualization. These informal workshops in EuroVis provide a setting for participants to discuss advanced topics in visualization, involve experts in the field, disseminate work in progress, and promote new ideas. Workshops at EuroVis are open to all registered attendees ("invitation only" workshops will not be approved).

Important Dates

* Proposal Submission: Monday, September 29, 2025
* Notification: Monday, October 13, 2025

All deadlines are at 11:59 pm (23:59) AoE Anywhere on Earth (AoE<https://time.is/Anywhere_on_Earth>)

Workshops should:

* Emphasize emerging ideas, concepts, or technologies that are currently too nascent or too interdisciplinary for a full symposium;
* Encourage information flow not solely from the presenters to the audience but rather engage the participation of all attendees, for example, through collective or small group discussions.

Possible topics may include emerging or persisting problems, developing research agendas, networking to find common interests and possibilities for cooperation, interacting with domain experts involving analysis of their domain problems, etc.
When choosing workshop topics to propose, please consider pre-approved workshops and try to avoid large overlaps:

* EGPGV
* EuroVA

Note that workshops remain extremely well attended, but as new associated events and publication formats are introduced to EuroVis, the number of submitted papers may drop from previous years. So, a more interactive format (rather than one based mainly on presentations of submitted papers) is encouraged.

Submission requirements

Workshop proposals should include:

* a title,
* the contact details of the organizers,
* a brief description of the organizers' background, related publications, and research,
* the planned activities (e.g., mainly talks, mainly interactive sessions, a mix), including an outline schedule for the program—workshops are strongly encouraged, though not required, to consider ways to engage all participants interactively,
* the intended result and impact of the workshop,
* a brief justification for why this workshop is necessary (e.g., why would the topic benefit from a more informal setting, in what ways is the topic emergent or a relatively poor fit for the main conference program, etc.),
* a chosen measure for a successful CFP (e.g., number of submissions), possibly including an outline for a "backup policy" (e.g., changing the workshop format or voluntarily withdrawing the workshop before acceptance notification is sent, but should not require the workshop organizers to submit emergency papers to their own workshop),
* a statement of the organization and the development of the list of participants (intended size, detailed selection procedures, and timeline for finalizing workshop presenters),
* a list of any special technology needed,
* the number of poster slots requested, if the workshop intends to feature posters, and
* the proposed dates for the call for participation, author notification, and camera-ready deadlines (author notification must be before the early registration deadline for EuroVis; for inclusion of materials in the EG digital library and/or the downloadable proceedings, the camera-ready deadline must be 4 weeks prior to the conference).

Because the number of workshop time slots is limited, half-day workshop proposals are strongly encouraged. However, well-justified full-day proposals will also be considered. Full-day proposals may optionally state what changes would be implemented to allow the workshop schedule to fit within a half day.

If the proposed workshop is a follow-up of a previous workshop, please include a critical reflection of the prior workshop(s), including a discussion of the results and evidence of impact.

The proposal should not exceed four pages. Please use the template file from https://www.eurovis2025.lu/fileadmin/files/egPublStyle-EuroVis_full-short-stars-posters-edu_2025.zip

Attendance

At least one author for each paper must register and attend the conference in person.

Evaluation criteria

The workshops aim to include various topics and a healthy mix of new and recurring events. Repeat submissions will be partially judged by the previous workshop's success. Workshop success will be judged subjectively, but popularity, research impact, visibility, and attendee feedback will all be considered. Specifically, the workshop proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria:

* The potential for inspiring people, being influential, and opening new lines of research,
* The degree to which the workshop provides a more interactive environment for participants—all things being equal, preference will be given to workshops that emphasize participant interaction,
* The coherence of the proposed topic and the degree to which it would benefit from a workshop environment,
* The ability to attract people and make them excited about the workshop,
* The appropriateness with respect to EuroVis topics,
* If this workshop has special needs, the feasibility of the proposed plan, including financial, logistics, scheduling, and coordination impact, is also important.

The workshop chairs will balance the proposed topics to support the diversity of topics within EuroVis and complement the main program.

Organizers should consider what steps they will take to encourage diverse participants in their workshop (e.g., a balance of experience, background, gender, etc.) to make participation as inclusive as possible.

If accepted, workshops are required to prepare a short summary (50–100 words) for the workshop website and the web program.

Workshop Support

The workshop organizers will receive the following support from the EuroVis conference:

* One complimentary 1-day registration for an invited speaker,
* Room and AV support suitable for around 50 attendees,
* Food and beverages for attendees: coffee breaks throughout the day, Sunday evening opening reception, space in the poster display area, if requested (from a limited pool set aside for standard workshops; available space depends on the specifics of the venue; early requests given priority over late requests),
* PCS (Precision Conference Solutions) support for managing submissions and the review process,
* EuroGraphics Digital Library publication of the workshop proceedings, if requested (considered archival).

Note that each workshop participant will need to register to attend the EuroVis conference.

Workshop Chairs

* Angelos Chatzimparmpas, Utrecht University
* Guido Reina, Universität Stuttgart

IEEE AIoT 2025 aims at bringing together interested parties (universities,
research centers, industries and stakeholders) from around the world
working in the fields of AI and Internet of Things to exchange opinions,
discuss brand-new ideas, developing innovative and emerging solutions, and
establishing new collaborations.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two of
the most rapidly evolving and interdependent fields of technology. The
convergence of these two fields is leading to the creation of an emerging
interdisciplinary field, dubbed the Artificial Intelligence of Things
(AIoT). The AIoT represents the integration of AI technologies into IoT
systems and devices, enabling them to interact with their environment in
more sophisticated and intelligent ways. By combining IoT with AI, the data
collected by distributed nodes can be utilized by applying AI techniques
such as machine learning and deep learning. As a result, machine learning
capabilities are moved closer to the data source.

The IEEE AIoT Conference aims to explore the integration of artificial
intelligence (AI) technologies into the Internet of Things (IoT) systems
and devices, enabling them to interact with their environment in more
sophisticated and intelligent ways. The conference will focus on the
following areas:

l AIoT Architectures, Frameworks, and Algorithms: Developing novel AIoT
architectures, frameworks, and algorithms for deploying state-of-the-art
machine learning and deep learning algorithms on IoT and edge devices,
realising the so-called Edge AI or Edge Intelligence;

l AIoT Applications: Identifying and exploring new AIoT applications,
including healthcare, smart homes, industrial automation, transportation,
and digital agriculture;

l Standards and Interoperability: Developing standards and protocols for
AIoT systems and ensuring interoperability between different platforms and
devices; and

l Ethics and Security: Addressing ethical and security concerns related to
AIoT, such as privacy, transparency, and accountability.

Authors are cordially invited to submit their original papers within the
eHealth area. The topics include but are not limited to:

1. Edge AI and Distributed Intelligence

[DMANET] Two PhD positions at the University of Liège (Engineering)

We are looking for two PhD students who will work at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Liège
(Belgium) on a topic at the intersection of Operations Research and Energy Systems: energy systems
models' transparency. By using techniques from multiple OR and ML fields (sensitivity analysis,
parametric optimization, machine learning) you will explore how models can be more transparent :
about their hypotheses (and their impact), about their results and about their quality.
You will work on both the theoretical foundations of transparency in large LP and MILP
optimization models but also apply your results on existing, real-life models and related software
already having a large impact.
This is a fully-funded 3-year contract, based on a recently accepted Energy Transition Fund project.
You will work in a growing team specialized in this subject. The two PhD candidates recruited via
this call will have two separate but related subjects and will work together during the project.

Position

3 year-fully funded contract at the University of Liège, Department of EECS (Montefiore Institute)
Competitive salary
Opportunity to collaborate with industrial/public partners and to present your research at
international conferences

Profile

A Master's degree in Engineering (applied mathematics or computer science), Mathematics, Computer Science or similar.
Interest in optimization in general - basic training in linear and discrete optimization.
Basic programming skills are a strong requirement, and good programming skills are a plus.

Contact

Apply by sending an email to Pr Quentin Louveaux (q.louveaux@uliege.be), Pr Damien Ernst
(dernst@uliege.be), Dr Guillaume Derval (gderval@uliege.be) and Dr Bardhyl Miftari
(bmiftari@uliege.be), containing:
- Your CV
- A (short) motivation letter, describing your research interests
- A link to your master thesis
- Academic transcript (results) of your two last academic years

You can submit anytime between now and September 15th, 2025. We may select the candidates
before this date - submit your candidature as soon as possible if you are interested.

[DMANET] Call for AAAI-26 Bridge Program Proposals

📢 💥 *Call for AAAI-26 Bridge Program Proposals (Deadline Extended to
August 29)* 💥 📢

The AAAI-26 Program Committee invites proposals for the* Bridge Program* of
the 40th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-26) held in
Singapore from January 20-21, 2026.

*Call details:*
https://aaai.org/conference/aaai/aaai-26/bridge-program-call/


🤔 *What are bridges?*
AAAI has incubated numerous AI sub-disciplines and conferences and has
nurtured for decades the cohesion of AI. New communities often emerge when
two or more disciplines come together in order to explore new opportunities
and perspectives; today, both are plentiful. The purpose of the AAAI
Bridges Program is to tap into this new source of innovation by cultivating
sustained collaboration between two or more communities directed towards a
common goal. Our interpretation of bridge is broad and encompasses
disciplines both within and outside of AI. Hence, the communities that the
AAAI Bridges Program brings together could be distinct subfields of AI,
such as planning and learning, or different disciplines that contribute to
and benefit from AI, such as AI and the humanities.

Examples of accepted Bridges from AAAI-25 can be found here
https://aaai.org/conference/aaai/aaai-25/aaai-25-bridge-list/


*Proposal Deadline Extension:* August 29, 2025 @ 11:59pm AoE

Inquiries concerning Bridge format and submission process may be directed
to aaai26bpchairs@aaai.org
