AiIC2026 represents the 5th International Conference on Applied Informatics, jointly organized by Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in collaboration with partner universities and industry stakeholders. The conference serves as a premier platform for researchers, academicians, industry practitioners, and policymakers to exchange ideas, share research findings, and discuss recent developments in applied informatics research and innovation.
In 2026, the conference places a strong emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies, reflecting their accelerating influence across industries and societies worldwide. The rapid advancement of generative AI, large language models (LLMs), autonomous systems, and intelligent analytics has significantly reshaped the global digital landscape. These technologies are redefining how organizations operate, innovate, and deliver value. Recognizing their profound economic, industrial, and societal impact, AiIC2026 highlights the urgent need to explore AI-driven solutions, responsible adoption, and future directions in applied informatics.
As AI continues to mature and gain widespread adoption, it signals a paradigm shift across multiple sectors, including healthcare, finance, education, smart manufacturing, and digital governance. While offering unprecedented opportunities, this transformation also introduces critical challenges related to ethics, trust, transparency, security, and sustainability. As a leading public university in Malaysia, UPM is proud to continue positioning AiIC2026 as a key international forum where stakeholders converge to address these challenges, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and advance impactful research in applied informatics.
AiIC2026 will be held in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang, Selangor, one of Malaysia’s leading research universities, renowned for its excellence in teaching, innovation, and multidisciplinary research. Strategically located within the Klang Valley, UPM offers convenient access from Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, making it an ideal and accessible venue for international and local participants. Surrounded by lush greenery and a well-planned campus environment, UPM provides a conducive setting for academic engagement, intellectual exchange, and professional networking. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore nearby attractions such as Putrajaya’s iconic landmarks, vibrant city centres, and cultural destinations, enhancing both the academic and experiential value of the conference.
Accepted and presented papers will be eligible for publication in selected outlets, including the Journal of Advanced Science, Engineering and Information Technology (IJASEIT) and the Journal of Informatics Visualization (JOIV) (both Scopus-indexed journals), as well as a Scopus-indexed Book of Chapters, subject to editorial review and publication requirements.
The conference organizers will pursue Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation from the Malaysia Board of Technologists (MBOT), enabling registered Professional Technologists and Certified Technicians to claim CPD credits.
