Call For Papers

The International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and 
Automated Learning (IDEAL) is an annual international conference 
dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data 
analytics and associated learning systems and paradigms. Following the 
recent successful events: IDEAL2021 (virtual), IDEAL2020 in Guimarães 
(virtual), IDEAL2019 in Manchester, and IDEAL 2018 in Madrid, the 23rd 
edition, IDEAL2022 will be back in Manchester as a hybrid event given 
the circumstances. Its core themes or topics include, but not limited to:

Big Data Analytics
Machine Learning & Deep Learning
Data Mining
Information Retrieval and Management
Bio and Neuro-Informatics
Bio-Inspired Models
Agents and Hybrid Intelligent Systems
Real-world Applications of Intelligent Techniques
Special Sessions & Workshops

You are welcome to suggest a proposal for a Special Session or Workshop 
on a focused, active or emerging topic in the scope of IDEAL.


Instructions for authors

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts (in pdf format) written 
in English by the deadline via the conference online submission system 
(Easychair - see below). All submissions will be peer-reviewed by 
experts in the field based on originality, significance, quality and 
clarity. All contributions must be original, must not have been 
published elsewhere, and must not have been submitted elsewhere during 
the review period. Papers should be within 9 pages (including 
references) but must not exceed 12 pages, and must comply with the 
format of Springer LNCS/LNAI Proceedings (see www.springer.com/lncs).

Short Papers
To encourage emerging results and novel initial developments, especially 
from PhD students and young researchers, we accept short papers (within 
6 LNCS pages). Short papers may be submitted a few days after the 
deadline. Such papers will also go through our vigorous peer-review 
process for its novelty and soundness with a much quicker turn-around 
time. Although short papers are mainly for the main track, they can be 
submitted to any  relevant Special Sessions too (information will be 
avaiable). The submission system will treat any papers that are within 6 
pages as short papers and PC chairs will ensure a speedy review of them.

Paper submission for IDEAL 2022 is via Easychair:

Call for Workshops and Special Sessions

Special Sessions

In addition to the regular sessions, there are a few special sessions 
devoted to emerging topics and areas with growing attention - details of 
approved Special Sessions will be given in IDEAL 2022 website.

proposing a new Special Session, please submit a one-page proposal as 
soon as possible to IDEAL Pagramme Committee Co-Chairs [atallon at us.es], 
by including the following information:
• The title of the special session.
• The organizers with their affiliations.
• A description of why the topic is of special interest and how it fits 
to the scope of IDEAL.
Each special session preferably consists of four or more presentations. 
Special sessions receiving less than 4 accepted papers will be merged 
into the main track.

Workshops
Workshops focus on new and emerging topics. In contrast to special 
sessions, workshops should include an introductory talk or tutorial on 
the topic and will have final discussions at the end of the workshop. 
Apart from the introductory talk in the discussion, Workshops should 
preferably include six or more additional presentations. Researchers or 
prospective organisers are invited to submit a one-page proposals for

sponsored by Springer and IEEE CIS UK & Ireland Chapter.

Journal Special Issues

Authors of all selected accepted papers will be invited to submit an 
extended and improved version for consideration for Special Issue in 
several journals - details to follow on the website.

COVID-19 Situations

It was the organisers' every intention to hold IDEAL 2022 as a hybrid 
conference. At the same time, given the COVID and other uncertainty and 
possible travel restrictions and difficulties, IDEAL 2022 will accept 
virtual presentations from the authors of accepted papers. We will watch 
the situations closely and update you regularly. Should you have any 
questions, please contact us.
