The International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IEs) is in its nineteenth year and is now recognized as a major annual venue in the area. IE, that has been hosted all around the world, offers a truly international forum and welcomes contributions from all over the planet. IEs refer to physical spaces in which information and communication technologies, artificial intelligence, interfaces sensing and actuating technologies are woven in order to create interacting spaces. The ultimate objective of such environments is to enrich users’ activities, while allowing users to manage them and be aware of each other’s capabilities.
The 22nd International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE2026) will be held in the beautiful city of Lisbon.
For those who cannot attend in person there will be a possibility to attend parts of the event online.
### Conference Program
IE is a multidisciplinary event welcoming contributions from a
diversity of relevant areas, including:
– Sensors and actuators
– Signal processing (including audio and images)
– Networking
– Human-computer interaction
– Artificial intelligence
– Software engineering
– Context-awareness
– Internet of Things
– Pervasive and ubiquitous computing
These technologies are applied in domains such as healthcare,
education, culture, and building environments. The event will include
regular full/short papers as well as a Doctoral Colloquium, a Posters
Session, and Demos & Videos Session, and affiliated workshops.
### Workshops:
The conference will start with a series of workshops:
– ALLEGET – Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
for Emerging Topics
– CSAISCE – Cybernetic Systems: Applications to Inclusive Smart Cities
Environments
– DiDiT – International Workshop on Distributed Digital Twins
– EDL-IE – Embedded Deep Learning for Real-Time Intelligent Environments
– WISHWell – Workshop on Intelligent Environments Supporting
Healthcare and Well-being
– WORIE – Workshop on the Reliability of Intelligent Environments
### Tutorials:
Supplementing the workshops, there will be the following tutorials:
– Advances in Vision-Based Technologies for UAV Autonomous Navigation,
Path Planning, and Cooperative Systems with UGVs
– Batteryless IoT sensing solutions for sustainable environmental monitoring
– Digital Twin for Intelligent Parcel Sorting: Real-Time Management
and Optimization in Logistics Networks
– Age of Information: Fundamentals, Applications, and Beyond
– Large Language Model-Enabled Participatory Platforms for Intelligent
Urban Systems
– Technology in Physiotherapy: Innovative Tools for Enhanced Patient Care
– From Concept to Code: Building a Digital Twin for Virtual Power
Plant Simulation with Python
– Spatio-Temporal Trajectory Foundation Model: Recent Advances and
Future Directions
– Emotion Recognition for Intelligent Environments: EEG-based
Affective Computing and Self-Adaptive Systems
### Publications:
As in previous editions, we expect all papers accepted in the main
conference will be published by IEEE in indexed proceedings, kindly
supported by the Awareness Computing Technical Committee of the SMC
Society. All papers accepted in the workshops program will be
published as a volume of the IOS Press/Sage Ambient Intelligence and
Smart Environments Book Series and also electronically available
through ACM Digital Library. Both the articles in the IEEE proceedings
and the IOS Press books will be indexed. As in previous years, a
selection of papers will be invited to extend and submit extended
versions to journals (these are currently being agreed and further
details will be published on the event’s webpage).
### Keynote Speakers:
IE2026 includes keynote lectures by the following distinguished speakers:
– “Human-Interactive Robot Learning in Daily Environments” by F.
Michaud (U. of Sherbrooke, Canada)
– “From Transparency to Agency: Interactive Explanations for User
Empowerment” by Katrien Verbert (KU Leuven, Belgium)
– “Invisibles: A New Frontier in Biomedical Signal Acquisition and
Processing” by Hugo Plácido da Silva (IST, Portugal)
