A forum gathering top specialists in the broad area of intelligent systems — from data science and machine learning to computational intelligence, explainable AI, and applications across industry, science, and society.
Building upon the success of IS'02, IS'04, IS'08, IS'12, IS'16, IS'20, IS'24 (held in Sofia and Varna, BG), IS'06, IS'10 (held in London, GB), IS'14, IS'22 (held in Warsaw, PL) and IS'18 (held in Funchal, Madeira Island, PT), the 13th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Systems IS'26 shall continue the tradition of bringing together top specialists in the broad area of intelligent systems. This forum is an opportunity for scientists from all over the world to share ideas and achievements in the theory and practice of data science, intelligent control, artificial intelligence, neural networks, soft computing, data mining and knowledge discovery, machine learning, deep learning, intelligent education, and related fields.
Presentations should highlight contemporary intelligent systems as a concept that combines theoretical research and applications in automation and information technologies. All aspects of intelligent systems are of interest: theory, algorithms, tools, and applications.
In addition to the main sessions, the conference timetable shall be concerted with several other symposiums, workshops, poster sessions, tutorial courses, and student sessions, in similar scopes, which will take place before, during, and after the end of IEEE IS'26. Following the tradition, all submitted original papers to IS'26 will be carefully reviewed for possible inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. After the Conference, a selected number of the best papers shall be expanded and revised for possible inclusion in refereed journals or Springer books.
The conference covers theoretical foundations of intelligent systems alongside applied domains where those foundations deliver impact. The list is indicative, not exhaustive — contributions in adjacent areas are welcomed.
Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers via EasyChair, following the instructions for authors on the conference website. Each paper will be reviewed for originality, relevance, technical quality, and clarity.

The conference venue is Hotel Cherno More, located near the sea park, the beach, and a zone of beautiful natural parks along the coastline.
There are plenty of possibilities to make a direct connection from the conference venue to the resorts of St. St. Constantine and Helena and Golden Sands. The venue is around 10 km from Varna International Airport, with a direct bus 409 connection that runs on a city route to the airport, railway, and bus station with regular transport.
Different car service facilities are available at the hotel. You are welcome to write to the organizing committee for assistance with local transportation or planning your personal schedule during the conference.
