MIWAI 2026

The 19th International Conference on Multi-disciplinary Trends in Artificial Intelligence

October 10–12, 2026
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

About MIWAI



Artificial Intelligence (AI) research has broad applications in real-world problems. Examples include control, planning and scheduling, pattern recognition, knowledge mining, software applications, strategy games and others. The ever-evolving needs in society and business both on a local and on a global scale demand better technologies for solving more and more complex problems. Such needs can be found in all industrial sectors and in any part of the world.

The International Conference on Multi-disciplinary Trends in Artificial Intelligence (MIWAI), formerly called The Multi-disciplinary International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence, is a well-established scientific venue in the field of artificial Intelligence. MIWAI was established more than 17 years ago. This conference aims to be a meeting place where excellence in AI research meets the needs for solving dynamic and complex problems in the real world. The academic researchers, developers, and industrial practitioners will have extensive opportunities to present their original work, technological advances and practical problems. Participants can learn from each other and exchange their experiences in order to fine-tune their activities in order to help each other better. The main purposes of the MIWAI series of conferences are:

  • To provide a meeting place for AI researchers and practitioners.
  • To inform research students about cutting-edge AI research via the presence of outstanding international invited speakers.
  • To raise the standards of practice of AI research by providing researchers and students with feedback from an internationally-renowned program committee.

As in the previous years, MIWAI 2025 proceedings will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series.

The accepted papers of MIWAI 2025 will be indexed by major databases, such as the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI), part of Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science; Scopus; EI Engineering Index; Google Scholar; DBLP; etc.
