Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) cordially invites researchers, academicians, industry practitioners, and postgraduate students to submit original research papers to the Applied Informatics International Conference 2026 (AiIC2026). The conference will be held as a hybrid event, providing both physical and virtual participation opportunities.

We would appreciate your assistance in disseminating this Call for Papers by sharing the CFP (PDF/JPEG) and the conference website with your colleagues and students. We look forward to welcoming you to AiIC2026.

The Applied Informatics International Conference (AiIC) has established itself as a leading platform for advancing research, innovation, and collaboration in applied informatics. Following the success of AiIC Premier 2019 in Penang, AiIC 2020, navigating virtual editions during the pandemic, AiIC2022, and a successful 4th AiIC edition in 2024, marking AiIC a strong conference series thus, reaffirming the relevance in driving impactful research.

Building on this legacy, AiIC2026 emerges as a premier forum that connects academia, industry, and policymakers to translate applied informatics research into practical, scalable, and transformative digital solutions. This edition stands out for its focus on cutting-edge technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), generative models, intelligent automation, and data-driven systems, which are reshaping industries and society.

Applied Informatics continues to play a critical role in addressing complex, real-world challenges by integrating information systems, computing technologies, data science, and domain knowledge. AiIC2026 provides a vibrant, forward-looking platform to showcase innovative applications, responsible and ethical AI practices, and sustainable digital transformation initiatives.

The theme for AiIC2026 is:

“Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Digital Transformation”

By bringing together global researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders, AiIC2026 offers an unparalleled opportunity to exchange knowledge, foster collaboration, and shape the future of applied informatics.
