I2COMSAPP'26: 3rd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and its Practical Applications in the Age of Digital Transformation Faculty of Sciences and Techniques, Nouakchott University Nouakchott, Mauritania, December 14-16, 2026

Scope

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies offer transformative potential for developing countries, presenting innovative solutions to longstanding challenges across healthcare, education, economic growth, infrastructure, and sustainable resource management. By adopting AI-driven approaches, these countries can bypass traditional development stages, accelerating socio-economic progress and significantly enhancing the quality of life.

In alignment with this vision, the International Conference series on Artificial Intelligence and its Applications in the Age of Digital Transformation, "I2COMSAPP," serves as an essential platform that convenes global experts, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and innovators.

The conference promotes the exploration of cutting-edge advancements, identifies key challenges, and showcases practical implementations of AI and Machine Learning (ML) technologies. Furthermore, it facilitates knowledge exchange, collaboration, and networking among stakeholders committed to responsible and impactful AI innovations that advance societal and industrial progress.

Building upon the academic excellence, substantial social impact, and successful publication outcomes in Springer’s Scopus-indexed Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series achieved by previous editions, the 3rd edition of I2COMSAPP invites international contributions to delve deeper into recent advances, practical applications, and future trends of AI and ML. Special emphasis will be placed on the transformative potential of these technologies in fostering sustainable development and improving socio-economic outcomes in developing regions.
