iEDGE 2026 is a premier international venue dedicated to advancing research and innovation at the intersection of trustworthy, decentralized, and distributed AI systems. As the scale, complexity, and societal impact of AI systems grow, ensuring trust, privacy, robustness, and decentralization becomes critical.

We invite researchers, practitioners, and innovators from academia and industry to join us in exploring the new frontiers of Decentralized Artificial Intelligence, Trustworthy Machine Learning, and Secure Distributed Systems. Co-located with AGCS 2026, iEDGE focuses on scaling trustworthiness principles beyond federated learning into the broader decentralized AI ecosystem.

The International Symposium on Edge intelligence, Trustworthy and Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (iEDGE 2026) addresses the use of advanced intelligent systems in providing trustworthy decentralized AI solutions in many fields, and the challenges, approaches, and future directions. We invite the submission of original papers on all topics related to trustworthy and decentralized artificial intelligence, with special interest in but not limited to:
