Workshop on AI & Cloud Systems and Technology

Call For Papers

AI Cloud Systems and Theories (ACST 2026) welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in theories, architectures, algorithms, protocols, middleware, and technologies in current and future AI cloud systems. The workshop has a specific focus on all topics that target to advance the integration of AI and cloud computing, with an emphasis on AI-native cloud architectures, intelligent resource scheduling, data-driven AI cloud management, cloud-edge-fog integration for AI services, AI-optimized computing and storage technologies, as well as foundational theories for AI cloud systems. In addition, we encourage work-in-progress and position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new research directions, or have the potential to generate insightful and provocative discussion at the workshop.
