Following the success of its inaugural edition, we are delighted to announce the 2nd International Conference on Cognitive Computing, Intelligence, and Data Science Applications (CCIDSA), which will take place on June 19–20, 2026, and will be hosted by the Image Analysis & Pattern Identification Research Lab (IAPI-RL) at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Canada.

Nestled on the northwestern shore of Lake Superior, Thunder Bay is a vibrant city known as the gateway to Canada’s great outdoors. Surrounded by pristine forests, scenic trails, and iconic landmarks such as the Sleeping Giant, the city offers a unique blend of natural beauty and urban life.

We warmly invite you to submit your high-quality full papers to CCIDSA 2026, a premier conference dedicated to cutting-edge research in Computing, Intelligent Data Science, and Applications. This event provides an excellent platform for researchers, practitioners, and academicians to exchange innovative ideas, present their findings, and explore emerging trends in the field. All accepted and presented papers will be published in Springer's proceedings book series STEAM-H: Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, Mathematics & Health. The series is indexed in SCOPUS and zbMATH, and all papers will be subject to Springer's final quality checks before publication.

To ensure the highest standards of research, all submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Each paper will be evaluated by at least two expert reviewers based on relevance, originality, technical quality, and clarity. Only papers that meet the strict criteria of our review process will be selected for publication, ensuring the academic excellence of the conference proceedings.
