[DMANET] [CFP] 10 Days Left: IEEE EAIS 2026 Special Session on Self-Improving Systems (XAI, LLMs, & Evolutionary Strategies)

*Dear Colleagues,*

This is a final reminder that the paper submission deadline for the Special
Session at *IEEE EAIS 2026* is approaching in *10 days.*

*Conference:* 2026 IEEE International Conference on Evolving and Adaptive
Intelligent Systems *Session:* Self-Improving Systems: The Convergence of
Evolutionary Strategies and Machine Intelligence using XAI and LLMs *Dates:*
September 21-23, 2026 *Venue:* University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy

*Aim & Scope:* We seek to move beyond static AI models toward the creation
of truly self-improving systems—adaptive, resilient, and transparent
computational entities capable of continuous learning and autonomous
optimization. We encourage interdisciplinary work across:

-

*Evolutionary & Hybrid Architectures:* ES + DRL, NAS, and
co-evolutionary systems.
-

*LLMs & Generative Models:* Using LLMs for mutation, prompt
optimization, and code generation.
-

*XAI & Trust:* Interpretability as an objective, auditing autonomous
learning cycles, and safety/ethics.
-

*Applications:* Robotics, AutoML, Finance, and Scientific Discovery.

*Submission Guidelines:* Papers must be submitted via the official IEEE
EAIS 2026 portal. Please ensure you select our Special Session title during
the submission process. All accepted and presented papers will be published
in *IEEE Xplore.*

*Important Dates:*

-

*Submission Deadline:* March 15, 2026
-

*Acceptance Notification:* May 15, 2026
-

*Camera Ready:* June 15, 2026
