We invite submissions of original full papers across seven applied AI domains. ORDAAI 2026 welcomes contributions from PhD students, academic researchers, and industry practitioners. Only full papers are accepted — use the ACM template.
"An open forum where applied AI research meets real-world impact — bridging academic inquiry and practical deployment across six applied domains."
The Open Research Days of Applied AI (ORDAAI 2026) is a multi-track scientific conference hosted at ENSIAS, Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco on October 15–16, 2026. The event is organized under the auspices of the DATA 2026 Research Network and welcomes original, unpublished contributions in applied artificial intelligence.
ORDAAI is designed as an open, inclusive research forum — particularly welcoming to PhD students presenting work-in-progress, early-career researchers seeking community feedback, and cross-disciplinary teams working at the intersection of AI and domain science. All submission types receive peer review and feedback from the scientific committee.
Research Areas
Topics of Interest
Submissions are organized into seven thematic tracks. Authors should indicate their primary track at submission time. Cross-area papers are welcome and will be assigned to the most appropriate track by the program chairs.
AI for Health — Medical imaging, federated learning, clinical NLP, precision medicine
AI for Software Engineering — Code generation, bug repair, MLOps, test automation
AI for Cybersecurity — Adversarial ML, deepfake detection, threat intelligence, LLM security
AI for Biodiversity — Species identification, remote sensing, eco-acoustics, eDNA
AI for Education — Intelligent tutoring, adaptive learning, automated assessment
Ethical AI & Governance — XAI, fairness, bias mitigation, regulatory compliance, AI policy
Cross-domain and interdisciplinary AI papers are especially encouraged
Submission Types
Accepted Format
ORDAAI 2026 accepts full papers only. All submissions must be original and not previously published or currently under review at another venue. Papers must be written in English and follow the ACM conference template.
Full Paper
4–6 pages · ACM Format · PDF
Complete research contributions presenting novel methods, empirical studies, system designs, or theoretical analyses. All stages of research maturity are welcome — from early findings to mature results. References are not counted toward the page limit. Papers must use the ACM two-column conference template.
Formatting requirement: Papers must follow the ACM two-column conference layout, 10pt font. Figures and tables must be clearly legible. Submissions not respecting the 4–6 page limit or not using the ACM template will be desk-rejected without review.
