Welcome to G3S'26 The 10th Global Symposium on Smart Computing and Systems
Welcome to G3S'26 – The 10th Global Symposium on Smart Computing and Systems, a leading international forum dedicated to the latest advancements in intelligent technologies, connected infrastructures, and secure data ecosystems. Formerly known as the Conference on Business Intelligence (CBI), G3S marks a new chapter in the event's evolution—bringing together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to explore emerging trends in Artificial Intelligence, Smart Networks, and Data-Driven Systems. Join us in shaping the future of smart computing through insightful discussions, innovative research, and global collaboration.
G3S'26 represents a strategic evolution of the former CBI conference. While past editions were primarily focused on Business Intelligence and Decision Support, the updated scope reflects a broader and more cohesive focus on Smart Computing and Systems, covering emerging trends in AI, intelligent networks, and secure data ecosystems. This shift aims to:
- Enhance scientific relevance and international reach
- Increase submissions and participant engagement
- Align with Springer's CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science) series standards
Scientific Focus – Thematic Tracks:
The conference now revolves around three coherent tracks:
1. Intelligent Models and Smart Decision Systems
Topics: Machine learning, decision support, adaptive systems, human-centered AI, multi-agent systems.
2. Connected Intelligence and Distributed Architectures
Topics: IoT, edge computing, 5G, distributed platforms, event-driven systems, scalable networking.
3. Secure, Trusted, and Data-Driven Ecosystems
Topics: Privacy-preserving analytics, blockchain, federated learning, anomaly detection, ethical AI.
Each track represents a pillar of the overall theme — intelligence, infrastructure, and ecosystem trust — forming an integrated vision of smart systems.
Key Features:
- The scope has been refined under guidance from Springer's editorial board to meet thematic coherence requirements.
- A major rebranding (from CBI to G3S) reflects the strategic direction of the conference toward AI-driven smart environments.
- The organizing committee is seeking to enhance international visibility by inviting a high-profile international scholar as co-chair.
- The event aims to include high-quality research, a robust peer-review process, and international program committee participation.
