Building on the outstanding success of the two previous editions of the International Workshop on Digital and Intelligence Systems Engineering (WDISE'24 and WDISE'25) , we are proud to announce the First International Workshop on Smart Applications and Digital Systems (SADS'26), jointly organized with CommNet'26 (The 9th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking). The workshop aims to bring together researchers, academics, and practitioners from diverse backgrounds to promote the dissemination of cutting-edge research in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Internet of Things (IoT), Privacy, Networking, and Telecommunications. SADS'26 will feature a peer-reviewed technical program including regular paper sessions, special sessions, tutorials, and demonstrations. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore Digital Library, as well as indexing in Scopus, Web of Science, DBLP, and other major databases.
