ICCAS 2026

Conference Goal

Following the great success of ICCAS 2022 and ICCAS 2024, we are pleased to organize the ICCAS 2026 conference.

The International Conference on Cognitive Aircraft Systems (ICCAS) aims to foster the dissemination and exchange of scientific knowledge on the next generation of civil and military aircraft. It provides an excellent forum for combining academic research and industrial works to examine how we can develop intelligent aircraft systems owning more freedom of choice, sensitivity to the context, learning capabilities, and able to interact naturally with the pilots or the operators while saving their mental and physical resources.

Recent trends in this field address several major aspects such as the online monitoring of operator based on behavioral, physiological, and neurological measurements, the design of more ecological human-machine interfaces providing intuitive information about the flight or mission status to support decision process, and architecture rules that guarantee a high level of operation safety.

The conference addresses a wide spectrum of theoretical and practical topics related to neuroergonomics and human factors, artificial intelligence, human-machine interaction and autonomous systems engineering. It is mainly focused on aeronautics but contributions from a wide range of domains such as automotive, robots, drones, or human-computer interaction and artificial agents are welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Neuroergonomics and human factors
  • Eye tracking, EEG, ECG, fNIRS, other measurement methods
  • Brain computer interfaces
  • Mental workload, acute stress, emotion, fatigue
  • Simulation, virtual reality
  • Training, safety analysis

• Artificial intelligence
  • Modeling and simulation
  • Fault tolerant algorithms, explanaible algorithms
  • AI-based techniques for human operator monitoring
  • Human-aware task planning and scheduling
  • Cooperative techniques, mixed-initiative interaction/planning
  • Transparent AI, natural human-machine interaction

• Human-Machine Interaction
  • Sensors and adaptive systems
  • Intelligent assistants, virtual assistants
  • Ecological interface design, augmented reality
  • Innovative warning systems, countermeasures
  • Multimodal interaction

• Autonomous vehicles and Automation
  • Single pilot operations, extended crew operations
  • Remote control of automated vehicles, unmanned vehicles
  • Adaptive systems, adaptive automation
  • Hybrid manned-unmanned teams
  • Human-machine cooperative/collaborative techniques

Participation

This conference invites research experts and industry practitioners from multidisciplinary backgrounds. It includes invited speakers, and works’ presentation via work submissions and selection with an international scientific committee.

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract (1000 words) or a demonstration abstract (300 words): see instructions and submission guidelines here.

If your abstract is accepted for an oral presentation or a poster session, you will be invited to submit a full paper (optional): see instructions and submission guidelines here.

Abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee and may be accepted for oral or poster presentation. Accepted full paper will be published in conference proceedings.
