The 2026 Workshop on AI Agents and Autonomous Intelligence (WAIAI 2026) in conjunction with 2026 International Computer Symposium (ICS 2026) will be held at National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences, Taipei, Taiwan, on October 29-31, 2026. ICS is one of the most prestigious international ICT symposiums held in Taiwan. Founded in 1973, it is intended to provide a forum for researchers, educators, and professionals to exchange their discoveries and practices, and to explore future trends and applications in computer technologies. The biennial symposium offers a great opportunity to share research experiences and to discuss potential new trends in the ICT industry. ICS 2026 will provide workshops, panels and keynotes to facilitate discourse on and deepen the understanding of the challenges in computer and communication technologies.

All the papers will be published to the symposium in EI index Proceedings. The topics of the Workshop on AI Agents and Autonomous Intelligence to be covered include (but are not limited to) the following:

• AI agents and autonomous intelligent systems
