Call for Application Submissions

Share AI systems, deployments, and lessons learned from real-world practice.

The Application Track welcomes work that advances the use of AI in real-world and domain-specific settings, spanning deployed systems, industry applications, and domain-driven AI across healthcare, science, engineering, finance, education, the public sector, and the creative arts. Submissions are encouraged to span the Cross-AI Topics, with authors welcome to select multiple topics or propose additional ones where appropriate.

Given the rapid pace of progress in AI, we welcome contributions at varying stages of development, from early findings and working systems to mature deployments and established case studies. The scope of contributions include:

  • Deployed or piloted AI systems and evaluations of their real-world impact.
  • Domain-specific methods shaped by domain knowledge, data, or practical constraints.
  • Case studies documenting applications, outcomes, and lessons learned.
  • Tools, platforms, and infrastructure that enable AI in practice.
  • Evaluations under real-world constraints, including reliability, safety, cost, scale, and human factors.
  • Analyses of implementation challenges, including failures and unexpected outcomes.

We especially welcome contributions from practitioners and cross-sector teams connecting technical expertise with domain knowledge.

Author and Submission Guidelines

All submissions are made through the AirBalloon conference management system, following the Author and Submission Guidelines.

Publishing & Registration Requirements

All accepted archival papers will be published in the indexed Cross-AI conference proceedings. Authors may optionally have their papers considered for further publication in an IEEE-published Cross-AI Special Edition in 2027, subject to Cross-AI approval and an additional publication fee.

Accepted abstract submissions are not published in the proceedings; abstracts will be posted on the conference platform and in the Cross-AI non-archival repository; previously published work is posted on the conference platform only.

Author Registration: For all accepted submissions, whether archival or non-archival, at least one author must register for the symposium.

Media Hosting

Media hosting is available only for accepted submissions. Their presentation pre-recordings, demo videos, e-posters, audio, and other approved media will be hosted on the conference platform and made openly accessible for up to two years. Media hosting and open access are included in the Author registration fee.

Existing recordings of previously published work that are linked from the schedule remain on their original sites and are not hosted on the conference platform.

Live Recording Policy

To foster open and candid exchange, Cross-AI will not record live sessions, except for keynotes.
