The submission deadline for this workshop is now extended to November 14, 2025. [AI4S]: Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Scientific Applications To be held in conjunction with SCA/HPCAsia 2026 Monday, January 26, 2026 Osaka, Japan -------------- Overview -------------- The purpose of this workshop is to bring together computer scientists and domain scientists from academia, government, and industry to share recent advances in the use of AI/ML in various scientific applications, introduce new scientific application problems to the broader community, and stimulate tools and infrastructures not only to support the application of AI/ML in scientific applications but also effectively utilize existing and future HPC systems for AI/ML-based scientific applications The workshop will be organized as a series of plenary talks based on peer-reviewed paper submissions accompanied by keynotes from distinguished researchers in the area and a panel discussion. We encourage participation and submissions from universities, industry, HPC centers and National Laboratories. --------------------- Call for Papers --------------------- We solicit research papers in the following topic areas, but not be limited to - Advancing scientific discovery and development workflows through generative AI models; - Strategies for reducing the energy consumption of AI model training and inference; - Investigating the impact of quantization and reduced precision techniques on the accuracy and correctness of AI-driven scientific applications; - Novel AI/ML approaches for improving execution time, efficiency, and simulation accuracy; - Characterizing the impact, accuracy, and effectiveness of AI/ML for scientific workloads; - Leveraging HPC systems to accelerate training and inference of AI/ML models on large-scale scientific datasets; - Addressing scalability, optimization, and efficiency issues when deploying AI/ML on extreme-scale HPC platforms; - Methods for integrating domain knowledge, including physical laws and constraints, into AI-driven scientific modeling; - Replacing or augmenting traditional numerical methods with AI/ML models for computational efficiency; - Tools, frameworks, and infrastructure to enhance the usability and accessibility of AI in scientific applications; - Methods to improve interpretability, explainability, and robustness of AI models for critical scientific applications; - Performance evaluation and benchmarking of emerging AI accelerators (e.g., GPUs, TPUs, FPGAs, neuromorphic computing) for scientific workloads; ------------------ Submissions ----------------- Authors are invited to submit original technical papers of at most 18 pages for full papers and at most 10 pages for short papers in PDF format, in one-column format. The page limit includes all figures and references. The papers should be formatted according to the ACM Proceedings Style listed in the SCA/HPC Asia 2026 website (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.sca-hpcasia2026.jp/submit/papers.html... ). For more details, please refer to (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissi... ). All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop organizers for more information. Papers should be submitted electronically at: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=ai4ssca26_... . The final papers will be published in the ACM Proceedings. ----------------------- Important Dates: ----------------------- Submission: November 14, 2025 (AoE) Notification of acceptance: November 26, 2025 Camera Ready: December 15, 2025 Workshop: January 26, 2026 -------------- Organizers -------------- Gokcen Kestor, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Dong Li, University of California, Merced Murali Krishna Emani, Argonne National Laboratory ---------------------------- Program Committee --------------------------- TBA
