Under ISDIA 2026

The International Conference on Information System Design and Intelligent Applications (ISDIA), formerly known as INDIA, has a long-standing legacy of bringing together global researchers, academics, and industry professionals. Since its inception in 2012, ISDIA has grown into a prestigious platform recognized for fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and showcasing innovations in intelligent systems. Over the past decade, it has been hosted in India, Vietnam, Mauritius, and the UAE, attracting participation from dozens of countries and hundreds of delegates. With successful partnerships, including publication through Springer Nature, ISDIA continues to push the boundaries of academic excellence and applied research in intelligent systems.

The theme of ISDIA 2026, “Agentic AI and Sustainability,” is both a reflection of our technological present and a visionary look into our collective future. Coinciding with Emirati Environment Day on February 7, this edition of ISDIA acknowledges the UAE’s national agenda to become a global hub for sustainability, innovation, and AI readiness—an agenda enshrined in key initiatives like the UAE Net Zero 2050 Strategy, the National AI Strategy 2031, and the Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence.

SDIA 2026 is proudly hosted by the University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD), a pioneer in international higher education in the UAE. UOWD is one of the country’s most respected institutions, known for fostering innovation, academic excellence, and industry-driven research. Located in Dubai Knowledge Park, UOWD provides an ideal environment for global collaboration, especially given its strong network with regional and international partners. Following the success of ISDIA 2025, which UOWD also hosted, the university returns as a hub for scholarly exchange and technological foresight.
