Dear Colleagues,

The 15th International Conference on Computational Science and Network Intelligence (CSoNet 2026) will be organized at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from November 16–18, 2026.

CSoNet 2026 aims to serve as a premier interdisciplinary forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present and exchange original, unpublished research on the theoretical foundations, methodological advances, and real-world applications of computational intelligence in modern systems and networks.

Conference Proceedings & Journal Track
- Conference Proceedings: Accepted papers will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science, and indexed by ISI (CPCI-S, included in ISI Web of Science), EI Engineering Index (Compendex and Inspec databases), ACM Digital Library, DBLP, Google Scholar, MathSciNet, etc.
- Journal Track: Instead of having extended manuscripts published in journals, CSoNet 2026 introduces a special Journal Track designed to provide a direct pathway for high-quality research and survey papers to be published in prestigious journals. Authors submit their original work directly to this track. Submissions are reviewed specifically to meet journal publication standards. Accepted papers will be published directly in one of the following journals: Journal of Combinatorial Optimization, Applied Network Science, and IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering. Authors of accepted journal papers must register and present their work at CSoNet 2026.
