Special Session on Agentic AI for Spatio-Temporal Information Extraction 
and Reasoning - SAIS 2026

Following the rapid emergence of agentic applications and the growing 
volume of event-centric news and social media posts, we announce the 
first special track on Spatio-Temporal Information Extraction and 
Reasoning of the AGENTICS 2026 conference, which this year is part of 
the 18th Joint Conference on Computational Intelligence and will take 
place in Angers, France.

We aim to bring together research where agentic AI and Large Language 
Models are utilized for spatio-temporal grounding  of events, entities, 
and sentiments from textual sources. This also includes the construction 
of event and entity relations, graphs, and timelines and the 
spatio-temporal inference of implicitly mentioned locations and time 
periods.

We welcome contributions on agentic reasoning for spatio-temporal task 
planning: for example, spatio-temporal reasoning from information 
extracted from text; reasoning over structured event databases, 
spatio-temporal knowledge graphs, and clusters; spatio-temporal 
attribute propagation; reasoning about sequences of events; and all 
other spatio-temporal reasoning in a text-based context.

We will address also downstream applications of these technologies like 
domain-specific monitoring agents for conflict, disasters, environmental 
change, public health, and other crisis and policy-related domains. 
Finally, we encourage work on early warning and forecasting with LLMs, 
and on reasoning over event sequences and spatial proximity to support 
downstream analysis and decision-making.

In particular, we welcome submissions addressing the following main 
topics: spatio-temporal grounding and extraction using or interacting 
with LLM or agentic AI, spatio-temporal agentic reasoning, as well as 
downstream agentic or LLM-based applications. We also address evaluation 
techniques and benchmarks of the above mentioned approaches. 
Additionally, submissions on all other topics, related to agentic and 
LLM based spatio-temporal reasoning and extraction from texts will be 
considered.
