D2AI 2026

D2AI 2026, held in conjunction with ICDM, focuses on the next generation of data and database systems for modern AI. As foundation models, LLMs, and autonomous agents reshape AI applications, we explore scalable, efficient, and trustworthy data infrastructures that support AI-native workloads—from hybrid retrieval and knowledge-grounded reasoning to data quality, governance, and trust.

We invite researchers and practitioners to submit original work on databases, data mining, machine learning systems, and AI infrastructure, advancing the intersection of data management and modern AI.

Relevant topics

D2AI 2026 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of data management and modern AI systems. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

Data and database systems for LLMs, agents, and RAG pipelines
Integration of vector, relational, and graph data systems
AI-accelerated query processing and learned database components
Data governance, provenance, quality, and trust in AI systems
Knowledge-enhanced data systems and reasoning over structured data
Benchmarks and workloads for AI-native data systems
Industrial systems and real-world deployment experiences

Submission Categories

D2AI 2026 accepts the following types of papers:(TBD)

Regular Research Papers
Industry & Application Papers
Vision Papers
Experiment & Benchmark Papers
Survey Papers

Submissions must be original and must not be under review in any other venue. Each paper will be evaluated based on originality, significance, technical quality, relevance to D2AI, and presentation. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for ICDM 2026 (workshop or full conference registration) and is expected to present the paper in person. Online presentation requests require approval from the organizing committee.

Important Dates

Submission Deadline: 20 Aug, 2026
Paper Notification: 18 Sep, 2026
Camera Ready Deadline: 05 Oct, 2026

All submission deadlines follow the Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time zone(UTC-12) .

Submission Instructions

Authors are invited to submit original papers, which have not been published elsewhere and which are not currently under consideration for another journal, conference or workshop. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the online submission system: (email submissions will not be accepted)

All papers must be formatted in the IEEE 2-column format and adhere to the following page limits:

Long Papers: Maximum of 8 pages, including references
Short Papers: Maximum of 4 pages, including references

Submissions exceeding the specified page limits will be rejected without review. All submissions will be double-blind reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to scope of the conference, originality, significance, and clarity. The following sections give further information for authors.

Double-blind submission guidelines

Authors must hence not use identifying information in the text of the paper and references must be referenced to preserve anonymity. Authors are allowed to upload their submissions to preprint servers (e.g., arXiv) or other online platforms before or after submission. However, authors should avoid explicitly advertising or promoting their submissions during the review period to preserve the integrity of the double-blind review process.
