Overview
HDAI 2026 provides a focused forum for researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of human dynamics, mobility analytics, and agentic AI. The workshop explores how large models, autonomous agents, and human-centered data intelligence can support modeling, reasoning, forecasting, and decision-making across physical and digital environments.
Call for Papers
We invite original research contributions on human mobility, broader human dynamics, and intelligent analysis systems in the era of agentic AI.
Objectives and Goals
The workshop aims to foster discussion on emerging theories, methods, systems, and applications at the intersection of human dynamics analytics and agentic AI. In particular, it seeks to connect researchers across data mining, machine learning, urban computing, and related areas; identify open challenges and future research directions; encourage interaction between academia and industry; and promote real-world applications that leverage human-centered data intelligence.
Topics of Interest
- Modeling and understanding of human mobility
- Mobility forecasting and anomaly detection
- Multi-agent simulation of mobility, interaction, diffusion, coordination, and population dynamics
- Representation learning for mobility trajectories
- Agentic reasoning, planning, and tool use over multimodal human-centered data
- Large models for human mobility data understanding
- Mobility foundation models and large mobility datasets
- Agentic AI for mobility reasoning and decision making
- Retrieval-augmented, memory-augmented, and long-context systems for behavior mining
- Human-in-the-loop agents for decision support, recommendation, and intervention design
- Applications in health, smart cities, transportation, workplaces, education, disaster response, and online platforms
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. The workshop submission format is intended to follow the usual ICDM workshop practice; please update this section once the official ICDM 2026 workshop instructions are released.
- Paper length: up to 10 pages for full papers, including the references and any possible appendices.
- Formatting: manuscripts should use the official IEEE conference template in two-column format (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
- Submission file: papers should be submitted as a PDF file through the official workshop submission system.
- Presentation: at least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register and present the work at the workshop.
- Final policy: the definitive page limits, template details, and proceedings policy should follow the official ICDM 2026 workshop announcement.
