Call For Papers

This special session explores the critical intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and cybersecurity. It addresses the growing need for intelligent defence mechanisms against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The session will focus on advanced computational intelligence techniques, including deep learning architectures, hybrid ML–fuzzy approaches, knowledge-based reasoning, and large language models (LLMs), for modelling emergent threats, enhancing intrusion and anomaly detection in uncertain situations, automating vulnerability discovery, and improving security-oriented decision-making processes. By integrating soft computing with cutting-edge AI methods, the session aims to develop robust, adaptive, and transparent solutions to protect modern digital systems.

Compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA)

All publications submitted after May 2025 must comply with the European Accessibility Act (EAA). The most critical requirement for your submission is providing Alternative Text (Alt Text) for all images. Papers without Alt Text will be excluded from the final proceedings.

Understanding and Creating Alt Text

Alt Text is a concise description read by screen readers to convey an image’s purpose and meaning in context. It should explain both what the image contains and why it matters.

Key Requirements

• Provide Alt Text for all images, diagrams, and figures.
• Alt Text must clearly describe the content and purpose of the image.
• Recommended length: 125–150 characters.
• For complex images, provide a detailed explanation in the caption or main text.

Example Alt Text

“A pie chart showing 60% of respondents preferred Option A and 40% preferred Option B.”

LaTeX Implementation Example

The following LaTeX example demonstrates how to add Alt Text using the \pdftooltip command from the pdfcomment package:

\documentclass{ws-procs9x6}
          \usepackage{pdfcomment}

          \begin{document}

          …

          \begin{figure}
          \begin{center}
          \pdftooltip{\includegraphics[width=4.5in]{procs-fig1}}{Alter text text text text test}
          \end{center}
          \caption{The bifurcating response curves of system
          $\alpha=0.5, \beta=1.8; \delta=0.2, \gamma=0$: (a)
          $\mu=-1.3$; and (b) $\mu=0.3$.}
          \label{aba:fig1}
          \end{figure}

          …

          \end{document}
