DESCRIPTION
Computing Intelligence and Communication Networks are becoming the core enablers of next-generation cyber-physical infrastructures, intelligent services, and large-scale networked systems. The International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Ubiquitous Communications (ICUC 2026) aims to provide a premier interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to present and discuss the latest advances in machine intelligence, intelligent computing architectures, communication networks, and integrated intelligent communication systems.
The International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Ubiquitous Communications (ICUC 2026) will be held on 21-24, August 2026 at Shenyang, China. ICUC 2026 welcomes original, unpublished research contributions that advance the theory and practice of computing intelligence and modern communication networks, including methodological innovations, system designs, experimental studies, and real-world applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
• Track 1. Foundation Models and Generative Intelligence
• Track 2. AI-Native Networks and Intent-Based Networking
• Track 3. Integrated Sensing & Communication and Semantic Communications
• Track 4. Fuzzy Systems, Uncertainty Modeling & Explainable AI
• Track 5. Quantum Computing & Evolutionary Intelligence
• Track 6. Neuromorphic Computing & Efficient AI Systems
• Track 7. Edge-Cloud-Device Collaborative Intelligence
• Track 8. Digital Twins for Communication Networks & Evaluation/Benchmarking
• Track 9. Computing Intelligence for Robotics & Autonomous Systems
• Track 10. Explainable, Responsible, and Trustworthy Computing Intelligence
