*** Call for Papers ***
33rd International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning
(TIME 2026)
1-3 September 2026, Cork, Ireland.
https://time26.cnr.it/ <https://time26.cnr.it/>
Co-located with the 37th International Conference on Principles of
Diagnosis and Resilient Systems (DX'26)
TIME has been for more than twenty years the only yearly
multidisciplinary international event dedicated to the topic of time in
computer science. The purpose of the symposium is to bring together
active researchers in different scientific fields involving temporal and
spatio-temporal data, information and/or knowledge management. Such a
concern arises in a number of different though often related research
domains, namely Artificial Intelligence (both symbolic approaches based
on explicit Logic or Constraint-based models, and numerical data-based
approaches such as Deep Learning and Large Language Models), Databases
and Data Mining, or System Specification and Verification.
TIME 2026 is co-located with the 37th International Conference on
Principles of Diagnosis and Resilient Systems (DX'26)
<https://conf.researchr.org/home/dx-2026>and it will be from the 1st to
the 3rd of September 2026 at the University College of Cork.
More details about TIME and the previous editions of this symposium can
be found via the following link: https://time-symposium.org/

Topics of interest
*
Temporal Specifications, Verification, Synthesis, Planning
(Spatio-temporal representation and reasoning models including
moving objects tracking, Temporal Logics for finite and infinite
state system, Model checking with temporal issue, Runtime
verification, Temporal constraint models and satisfiability, Action
and change, Temporal Scheduling, Controller synthesis)
*
Diagnosis and Supervision of Real-Time systems (Timed Automata,
Timed Petri nets, Timed Games)
*
Time in Machine Learning and Generative Artificial Intelligence
(Neural networks, Deep/Reinforcement learning, LLMs and Natural
Language Processing)
*
Notable aspects of time in agent- and policy-based systems
(Multi-agent systems, Markov decision processes, agentic AI frameworks)
*
Temporal Data (sensing, discovery, mining, temporal databases and
dedicated query languages, uncertain/indeterminate/imprecise
temporal data, temporal data learning)
*
Temporal Graphs, Networks (Bayesian network, Neural networks,)
*
Event and Pattern recognition (including time series and temporal
chronicles)
The list above is by no means exhaustive, as the aim is to foster the
debate around all aspects of time in automation.

Submission guidelines
TIME 2026 accepts submissions in PDF format, formatted following the
Open Access Series in Informatics (OASIcs)
<https://drops.dagstuhl.de/entities/series/OASIcs>and preferably using
LaTeX. TIME policy is single blind, so the names of the authors need not
be hidden in the submitted draft. Members of the program committee are
allowed to submit papers. Submitted papers will be refereed for quality,
correctness, originality, and relevance to the symposium. At least one
author of each accepted paper must register at the symposium and present
the paper.
We use EasyCshair throughout the submission and selection process. The
webpage for submitting papers with all required information can be found
here <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=time2026>.
There are three types of submissions, and the authors are invited to
specify under which one their paper lies:1) Original papers(12 pages,
excluding references and appendix): such papers describe original,
non-published contributions. It includes theoretical (new algorithms,
proofs, models) and applied (applications, system descriptions,
evaluation) contributions.2) Survey papers(12 pages, excluding
references and appendix): such papers are intended to propose a short
review of a complete domain of research.3) Extended abstracts(4 pages,
excluding references and appendix): such abstracts are intended to
foster debates during the symposium and include: work-in-progress,
project kick-off or review, PhD summary, and summary of a paper accepted
in a major conference or journal. They will be specifically mentioned in
the proceedings as abstracts and not full papers.The proceedings of TIME
are planned to be published in the Open Access Series in Informatics
(OASIcs) <https://drops.dagstuhl.de/entities/series/OASIcs>. This is a
series of high-quality peer-reviewed conference proceedings, and
published according to the principle of OpenAccess.Finally, the authors
of the top-ranked papers will be invited to submit an extended version
of their contribution to a special issue in a high ranked journal; more
details will be provided in due time.Please contact the program chairs
