It aims to explore innovative models and data-driven techniques for extracting meaningful patterns, improving prediction accuracy, and enabling real-time analytics from complex temporal data. The session encourages research on scalable, interpretable, and robust solutions, including transformer-based models, anomaly detection, and spatio-temporal analysis, to address challenges such as noise, high dimensionality, and non-stationarity across domains like healthcare, finance, IoT, and smart systems.

Call for Special Tracks / Sessions

The ICA2S 2026 invites proposals for Special Sessions and Tracks as part of the upcoming conference.

These sessions provide an excellent opportunity to highlight emerging topics, foster in-depth discussions, and bring together researchers working in focused areas. A special session may span from a quarter-day to a half-day and should include at least four peer-reviewed papers.

Proposal Guidelines

  • Session Title
  • Session Overview / Scope – a brief abstract describing the theme and objectives
  • Organizer Details – names, contact emails, and a short professional biography
  • Submission DeadlineMarch 20, 2026

The organizing committee will review all proposals based on relevance, originality, and quality. Selected proposals will be notified accordingly. Please note that sessions with an insufficient number of accepted papers may be cancelled, in which case the accepted papers will be reassigned to appropriate regular sessions.

Responsibilities of Session / Track Chairs

  • Proposing the session/track topic and potential contributors
  • Inviting authors from their professional network (colleagues, collaborators, students, etc.)
  • Actively promoting the Call for Contributions and encouraging submissions
  • Recognition: Each Session/Track Chair will receive a Certificate of Appreciation for their contribution to the conference
