Call for Papers

Greetings,

We are pleased to invite you to Elsevier’s and AIS, iSCSi – International Conference on Industry Science and Computer Sciences Innovation 2026 Edition.

The conference organizers cordially invite you to submit your scientific work to iSCSi – International Conference on Industry Sciences, Computer Sciences, and Innovation – Fostering Productivity and Sustainable Growth to be held in the Azores, Portugal, on May 20, 21, and 22, 2026.

Conference intends

Within three days, the iSCSi 26 will debate critical impact factors within the binomial of Industry Sciences and Computer Sciences Innovation, how they come together in terms of methods, tools, and technologies to enable significant scientific results, collecting and providing empirical knowledge from scientists and researchers from all over the five continents. Here we will have the opportunity to share our knowledge and experiences, and bring disruptive ideas and the latest developments in the broad multidisciplinary field embraced by the Industry Sciences and Computer Sciences.

iSCSi intends to bring together leading international experts on production systems technologies, logistics, and cutting-edge information systems and technologies, from academia and Industry, to discuss groundbreaking issues and trends in computer technologies that enable manufacturing, supply chain management, Industry 4.0, and sustainable growth and advances in computer sciences that support the industry sector.

iSCSi aims to attract original and relevant contributions to the emergent panorama of modern societies that fully embrace scientific methods to overcome technological challenges within Industry Sciences Innovation and Computer Sciences Innovation.
