About APCDIC 2026
2026 Aisa-Pacific Conference on Control, Data Informatics and Computer (APCDIC 2026) will be held during August 24-26, 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
APCDIC 2026 devotes to the dissemination of new ideas, research and work in progress within the rapidly growing fields of control, data informatics and computer. It will bring together researchers, engineers and students from academia, government and industry for an interactive discussion on the latest advances in sociable robotics, fuzzy logic and fuzzy control system, optimization techniques, virtual augmented reality, intelligent agents and cognitive systems, information retrieval, human-computer interaction, data analytics, data management and quality, data bases and data security, humanoid robotics, knowledge discovery and data mining.
The objectives of the conference are to provide high quality research and professional interactions between industry and academia for the advancement of science, technology and fellowship.
At least one of the authors listed on the paper must present at the conference, otherwise the paper will be excluded from the proceedings.
Submission Instructions
Note: Accepted papers must be presented in person by one of the authors, in addition to having an associated full registration. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in the exclusion of the paper from the final proceedings.
Paper submission must be done for the conference via online submission system. If you do not have an account, please, register first and create an account (it’s free). The direct submission link for APCDIC 2026 and paper submission will be active from December 1, 2025.
APCDIC 2026 will follow a double-blind review process. As a result, authors must make a good-faith effort to anonymize their submissions. In particular, publishing pre-prints of your submitted papers in online archives (e.g., arXiv) prior to submission does NOT disqualify the paper from consideration at APCDIC 2026. Moreover, we instruct reviewers NOT to go searching for pre-prints of submitted papers. However, papers that are judged not to have created a suitable double-blind version may be summarily rejected from further consideration.
Submitted papers must be unpublished and may not be under consideration elsewhere for publication at any point in the review process. Also, they must show a significant relevance to control, data informatics and computer. Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process handled by the Technical Program Committee. Only electronic submissions in PDF format will be considered.
Topics of Interest
APCDIC 2026 is seeking original papers for presentation at this event. Contributions can be analytical, empirical, technological, methodological, or a combination. Papers reporting strong systems engineering contributions backed by solid and appropriate evaluations are strongly encouraged. The impact of the contributions should be demonstrated in the context of control, data informatics and computer.
Researchers and participants from academia, industry, and government organizations are invited to submit papers, and the conference topics include but are not limited to:

Peer Review Process
All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by the Program Committee under a double-blind, two-round review process. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, demonstrated or potential impact, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference. Submitted manuscripts must NOT have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference, workshop, or journal.
A high-quality submission should articulate its contributions in multiple aspects:
1. Motivation. Clearly state the paper’s objective and provide strong support to motivate the specific problem the submission addresses.
2. Limitations of state-of-art approaches. Unambiguously discuss and distinguish the paper’s contributions from the most relevant and most recent prior works.
3. Key insights and contributions. Clearly articulate the major insights that enable the described approach and make it effective. Clearly specify the novelty of these insights and how they advance state-of-the-art. Provide a list of key contributions including flagship theoretical or experimental results and improvement over the prior art.
4. Methodology. Clearly specify key theoretical or experimental methodological details. Support the chosen methodological choices (e.g., cite the prior works that have evaluated their ideas using similar methodology). If a new methodology is adopted or theoretical assumptions differ from prior art, provide a detailed justification.
5. Limitations of the proposed approach. Articulate all significant limitations of the proposed approach and identify conclusions that are sensitive to assumptions made in the paper.
The Program Committee will assess submissions in the above aspects. Therefore, the authors should make these aspects clear when articulating their contributions. Authors will have the opportunity to respond to the reviewers’ questions and provide clarifications before the first-round decisions are made. Some submissions may not be invited to submit a response/rebuttal; These submissions will be notified with an early-reject decision by April 20, 2026.
First round decisions – “accept,” “revise,” or “reject” – will be sent by June 5, 2026. Authors of papers in the “revise” category will have the opportunity to submit a new version of their papers addressing reviewers’ comments. The revised submission and a cover letter explaining changes are due on June 19, 2026. An ensuing review will then provide decisions of “accept” or “reject”; papers will be rejected if the reviewers assess that the issues they raised were not satisfactorily addressed. Notification of final decisions will be sent by June 30, 2026. Camera-ready papers are due on July 20, 2026.
