AICCSA 2026 · Call for Papers (TPC section)

The ACS/IEEE 23rd International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA 2026) stands as the premier international forum for groundbreaking research across the spectrum of computer systems and applications. We cordially invite academics, researchers, industry pioneers, and practitioners to contribute their latest discoveries and participate in vibrant scholarly discourse spanning distributed computing, data science, security, and machine intelligence.

Sharjah 2026 Nestled at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, the University of Sharjah will host AICCSA 2026 — where the Arabian Gulf's golden shores meet a visionary skyline, creating an inspiring backdrop for intellectual exchange.

The Program Committee extends a formal invitation for original contributions — encompassing technical and experimental studies, theoretical frameworks, conceptual innovations, and comprehensive surveys — to be submitted via the EasyChair system. Each submission will undergo rigorous peer review, evaluated on relevance, originality, significance, and clarity. Authors are kindly requested to designate their manuscript to one of the six thematic tracks delineated below.
