[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************* 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).

[DMANET] Complexity as a Kaleidoscope 2026, workshop in Lisbon

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the *Complexity as a Kaleidoscope 2026* workshop, to be held in *Lisbon, Portugal*, from *July 30 to August 1, 2026*. Here is a link to the webpage: Complexity as a Kaleidoscope 2026 <https://complexitykaleidoscope.wordpress.com/> The workshop is co-located with the Computational Complexity Conference (CCC) <https://computationalcomplexity.org/>, which takes place immediately following the workshop (August 3–6). There is only room for about 60 participants, so please register ASAP (registration link in webpage)! A "Bourbaki-Style" WorkshopFor this workshop, we are trying something a little different, inspired by the Bourbaki seminars. Normally speakers talk about their own work, and related work. Instead, we are aiming for something more in the spirit of the Bourbaki seminar: instead of speakers talking about their own work, they will be paying homage to other people’s work. As co-organizers of the workshop, we share a (somewhat speculative) intuition that this will lead to wonderful talks and promote a happy, friendly atmosphere. Having chosen a paper or collection of works among their favorites, the purpose of the talk would be for the speaker to share why they like it, to give the audience some flavor of what it’s like to think about the topic (which should definitely include going over some of the proofs), and also perhaps to say something about the work’s history, context, etc. Confirmed Speakers We are excited to host the following amazing speakers: - Dmytro Gavinsky <https://users.math.cas.cz/~gavinsky/> - Anup Rao <https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~anuprao/> - Rahul Santhanam <https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/rahul.santhanam/> - Mary Wootters <https://sites.google.com/site/marywootters> - Amir Yehudayoff <https://amiryehudayoff.github.io/home/> Travel Support A limited travel fund is available to assist participants with travel and accommodation costs. Also, lunch will be provided. We hope to see you in Lisbon!

[DMANET] [CFP]: IOI-2026, The 6th International Conference on Internet of Intelligence, UK, 26-28 October 2026

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************* 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.

Submissions may be up to 18 pages long (including title page and references) in LNCS format. Note that SAGT 2026 requires submissions in LNCS format (provided as part of Springer's LaTeX2e package). In addition, an appendix may be included at the end of the paper and will be read at the discretion of the reviewers. Submissions deviating from these guidelines may be rejected without review. Authors are strongly encouraged to structure their paper in a way that includes a clear presentation of the merits of the paper and a discussion of the importance of the results, as well as an exposition of the key conceptual and technical ideas. *** Author Guidelines *** The symposium proceedings will be published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) proceedings volume. Accepted papers will be allocated at most 18 pages (including title page and references) in LNCS format in the proceedings. Please refer to Springer's Information for Authors for detailed guidelines on how to prepare the final manuscript. To accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields, authors of accepted papers can choose to publish a one-page abstract of their paper in the proceedings. The paper must then provide a URL referring to the full version of the paper; authors should guarantee the link to be reliable for at least two years. Such papers must be formatted and submitted just like regular papers (as described above). Results previously published or presented at another archival conference prior to SAGT, or published (or accepted for publication) at a journal prior to the submission deadline, will not be considered for publication. Simultaneous submission to WINE 2026 is explicitly allowed. In case the paper is accepted for publication at SAGT, the authors have to withdraw the paper from WINE 2026. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. Simultaneous submission of results to a journal is allowed only if the authors publish the paper as a one-page abstract in SAGT 2026. *** Proceedings and Special Issue *** Conference participants will have free access to the online conference proceedings of SAGT 2026. SAGT 2026 will extend invitations to a selection of accepted papers for publication in a dedicated special issue of the ACM Transactions on Economics and Computation (TEAC) (details will be communicated in due course). ======= CONTACT ======= The conference is organized by Pascal Lenzner (University of Augsburg) and Daniel Schmand (University of Bremen).

[DMANET] PhD vacancy at Zero Hunger Lab of Tilburg University

We are hiring! Tilburg University's Zero Hunger Lab is looking for a PhD candidate in Data-Driven Food Security Intelligence and Decision Support. We are looking for someone with a background in operations research, mathematics, or a similar field, and with a strong motivation to make a real impact in the humanitarian sector. This project is a collaboration between the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the Zero Hunger Lab, aiming to advance the next generation of food security intelligence systems by moving toward continuous, real‑time monitoring, nowcasting, and anticipatory analysis of hunger and vulnerability. A central objective is to understand how unconventional and “passive” data streams can complement survey‑based indicators to provide timely, robust, and decision‑relevant estimates of food insecurity under conditions of uncertainty and data scarcity. The research will explicitly address multiple operational use cases, including: * Real‑time monitoring and nowcasting of food insecurity between survey rounds * Advanced and anticipatory warning of acute deteriorations * Dynamic targeting and prioritization under budget and capacity constraints * Resource allocation and scenario analysis in rapidly evolving crises More details can be found here: https://tiu.nu/23829 . The application deadline is May 25. If you have any questions, please reach out to Marleen Balvert (M.Balvert@tilburguniversity.edu) and Thomas Breugem (T.Breugem@tilburguniversity.edu). ********************************************************** * * Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to * * DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de * * Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be * addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.
