The Sixth International Conference on Emerging Techniques in Computational Intelligence, ICETCI 2026 will be held at Mahindra University, Hyderabad on Aug 19-22, 2026. This aims to highlight the evolution of topics, frontline research and multiple applications, in the domain of Computational Intelligence from the mainstream foundations to novel investigations and applications.The Conference comprises of a total of four days, out of which the first two days will be a Workshop, followed by two days of Keynote Lectures by invited international experts from Industry and Academia, and technical paper presentations. Also, the conference hosts several special sessions on emerging technologies and applications in computational intelligence. The Conference is supported by industry relevant sessions during the Workshop, conducted by various organizations.

Guidance for IEEE Publications Regarding AI-Generated Text
The IEEE Publication Services and Products Board has recently passed the following motion.
“The use of artificial intelligence (AI)–generated text in an article shall be disclosed in the acknowledgements section of any paper submitted to an IEEE Conference or Periodical. The sections of the paper that use AI-generated text shall have a citation to the AI system used to generate the text.”.
