The AIxIA 2026 edition celebrates the 25th year of an event born inside the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence. <br>
<br>
Among other activities, the AIxIA 2026 Conference will host a series of workshops dedicated to both established specialised areas as well as current and evolving topics and which will complement the main conference program. AIxIA Working Groups, scientific
and industrial research groups, and individual researchers interested in a subarea of Artificial Intelligence or in a related topic of growing importance are invited to submit proposals for workshops associated with the AIxIA 2026 conference. We particularly
welcome proposals aimed at bringing together researchers from a wide range of disciplines, to exchange ideas and to allow cross-fertilization. <br>
* <br>
<br>
* <br>
Workshop proposals should be submitted in English as a single PDF file, should not be longer than 4 (four) pages, and must contain the following information: <br>
* <br>
<br>
- Workshop title and acronym <br>
- Workshop organizers (affiliation, contact details, homepage, prior experiences with workshop organization) <br>
- Motivation and scientific relevance to the conference audience <br>
- Keywords (describing the main themes of the workshop) (3-5 phrases) <br>
- Abstract (up to 200 words) <br>
- Description of the workshop (topics and goals of the workshop) (up to 800 words) <br>
- Organizational details such as: thematic panels, demo sessions, invited talks <br>
- The initial list of (potential) members of the program committee <br>
- Previous editions of the workshop series (if applicable) (URLs, conference it was co-located with, number of registrants, number of submissions, number of accepted papers, and any other relevant information) <br>
- Expected length of the workshop (in hours) <br>
- Number of expected submissions <br>
<br>
* <br>
Proposals should be submitted via email (with SUBJECT: AIxIA 2026 Workshop Proposal) to the following email address: <br>
<br>
marco.baioletti@unipg.it <br>

<br>
In the case of a workshop traditionally included in past AIxIA Conferences, included the workshops related to the AIxIA working groups, the proposers can simply communicate to the WS chairs their intention to organize <br>
the 2026 edition of the event. The only data required are the expected length of the workshop (in hours) and the number of expected submissions, as well as any changement with respect to the previous editions. <br>
<br>
The expected number of submissions is at least 5 for half-day workshops and at least 8 for full-day ones. Workshops that do not reach the suggested target might not be activated or may be merged with other events. Also, the conference chairs may decide to merge,
in coordination with workshop proposers, two workshops in case their topics largely overlap. <br>
<br>
Workshop schedule: each workshop will be assigned a number of slots during the conference days. The distribution of slots will take into account the accepted papers and workshop organization. <br>
<br>
* <br>
Management of the Submission, Review, and Publishing Process <br>
* <br>
<br>
The workshop organizers will manage on their own the submission, review, and publishing process. The key dates and publication policy must be shared with the conference organization. <br>
<br>
Workshop proceedings should preferably be published in the AIxIA Series of CEUR Workshop Proceedings. <br>
<br>
The workshop Call for Papers, all other calls, and the website should clearly state that the workshop is held within the AIxIA 2026 Conference, including the URL of the conference website. <br>
<br>
As with previous editions, organizers should choose a submission platform, such as Easychair, and handle the review process. All workshop participants (including the organizers) will have to register to AIxIA 2026. <br>
<br>
The workshops must notify acceptance of papers by July 31, to allow authors to enjoy the early registration fee. Camera ready paper needs to be prepared by August 26th in order to have proceedings available at the conference. <br>
Workshops will be scheduled during the conference days (October 6-9, 2026). <br>
