Proposals for Workshops at IEEE ICHMS 2026 are invited to bring together the community in emerging, active, and well-defined areas within the broad scope of humans, machines, and intelligent autonomous systems. Workshops provide an opportunity to explore focused themes that may not be fully represented in the main ICHMS 2026 technical program. Proposals are encouraged for formats such as interactive discussions, poster and abstract sessions, panel dialogues, and roundtable exchanges that foster collaboration and engagement.
Each workshop proposal should describe how the session will be organized, how active participation from attendees will be encouraged, how discussions will be promoted on the chosen topic, and—if applicable—how invited speakers will contribute to enriching the session’s objectives.
Workshops may be proposed for half-day or full-day formats. Full papers submitted to workshops will follow the same peer-review process as other ICHMS 2026 submissions. Accepted and presented workshop papers will be copyrighted by IEEE and included in the official conference proceedings, eligible for publication in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library upon successful completion of the IEEE quality review process, and indexed in Scopus thereafter (subject to meeting IEEE indexing requirements).
Authors may alternatively submit extended abstracts (1 page) to workshops. Abstracts will be reviewed solely by the workshop organizers and will not appear in IEEE Xplore®.
Workshops are scheduled to be held on Wednesday, 1 July 2026, at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
Active participation and/or endorsement from one or more IEEE SMC Technical Committees (TCs) or relevant industry/academic partners is strongly encouraged.
The Workshop Chairs will evaluate submissions based on the following criteria:
- Relevance and timeliness of the topic to the ICHMS 2026 community.
- Structure and format of the proposed session and its potential to generate meaningful discussion.
- Experience and quality of the organizing team and invited speakers.
