Contribution Types

For the scientific program of the conference, we invite four types (with corresponding submission tracks) of contributions to SCAI 2026, from all areas of AI research:

• 6-10 pages full paper describing original contributions (not under review at another venue). General descriptions of current and ongoing projects are also acceptable. This category will be published in SCAI 2026 proceedings unless the authors opt-out. Please note that full papers in the proceedings are approved as a scientific publication channel at level 1 in Norway and Denmark.
• 2 pages extended abstracts of previously published papers in e.g., AI journals and AI conferences, within the last 12 months. The two pages should include everything, e.g., references, figures, etc. These will not be included in the proceedings, only presented at the conference.
• 2 pages extended abstract describing AI industrial application, demonstrating use cases that leverage machine learning and AI techniques in a real-world setting. The two pages should include everything, including references, figures, etc. The first author should be from industry. These will not be included in the proceedings, only presented at the conference.
• 2 pages extended abstract describing ongoing Ph.D. projects (the first author must be a Ph.D. student). Problem statement and research question/s must be clearly introduced and motivated. The two pages should include everything, e.g., references, figures, etc. These will not be included in the proceedings, only presented at the conference.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the conference program committee and accepted contributions will be presented as oral presentations, practical demonstrations or poster sessions. Accepted full papers will be published in the electronic workshop proceedings (Yet to finalize). All submissions should be in PDF and written in English using the IEEE Latex/IEEE docx template.

Paper Submission

Full papers should be submitted to the main track (SCAI2026), while extended abstracts should be submitted to the Extended Abstracts track.

For both full papers and extended abstracts, the title and a brief summary/abstract should be submitted on 2026-04-07 as latest. This is important for the paper bidding process. The final version needs to be submitted by 2026-04-10 as the latest.
