Conference Introduction

The 2026 IEEE International Conference on Adaptive Intelligence, Modeling and Simulation (ICAIMS 2026) is organized by the Modelling, Simulation & Computing Laboratory (mscLab), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) in collaboration with IEEE Sabah Subsection. The conference will be held in hybrid mode from 28 to 30 July 2026. ICAIMS 2026 provides an excellent platform for global researchers to exchange knowledge, share innovative ideas, and discuss recent advancements in adaptive intelligence, modeling, simulation, computation, and related fields.

Call for Papers

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers in areas including but not limited to:

• Track 1: Adaptive Intelligent Control, Simulation, and Optimization
• Track 2: Smart Energy, Environment, and Sustainable Systems Modeling
• Track 3: Adaptive Sensing, Signals, and Communication Systems
• Track 4: Computer Vision, Imaging, and Intelligent Perception Systems
• Track 5: Data Intelligence, Adaptive Modelling, and Cybersecurity
• Track 6: Human-Centered Computing, Multimedia, and Affective Simulation

Paper Submission

Please prepare your manuscripts according to the IEEE Conference Paper format. The manuscript should be 5 to 6 pages long. The Technical Team reserves the right to DESK-REJECT any documents that exceed the 6 pages limit or not following the paper format. Papers should include full-color figures throughout and we encourage authors to showcase their work with annotated, well described, large and detailed graphics. We also appreciate high-quality submissions with correct English spelling and grammar. Poorly written manuscripts may result in DESK-REJECT.

Concurrent submissions (i.e., having the same or similar paper concurrently under review at another conference or journal/magazine) are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. If it is determined that an identical or substantially similar manuscript is simultaneously under consideration at another publication venue or forum (e.g., conference, journal, edited book), the manuscript will be subjected to DESK-REJECT at an early stage in the review process. We strongly advise against submitting your manuscript to preprints.

IEEE policy requires all submissions to its journals and conference proceedings to be screened through a plagiarism detection process. ICAIMS uses IEEE's CrossCheck portal to check for similarity index. Please ensure that the overall similarity score of your final paper is LESS THAN 30%, and no individual source has more than 10% similarity using any of the plagiarism check software such as Turnitin. In line with IEEE regulations, any paper with a similarity score of more than 30% will be excluded and will not be included for presentation or publication at IICAIET.
