33rd International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning 
(TIME 2026)

1-3 September 2026, Cork, Ireland.

https://time26.cnr.it/


Co-located with the 37th International Conference on Principles of 
Diagnosis and Resilient Systems (DX’26)


*** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED: May 22, 2026!! ***


TIME has been for more than twenty years the only yearly 
multidisciplinary international event dedicated to the topic of time in 
computer science. The purpose of the symposium is to bring together 
active researchers in different scientific fields involving temporal and 
spatio-temporal data, information and/or knowledge management. Such a 
concern arises in a number of different though often related research 
domains, namely Artificial Intelligence (both symbolic approaches based 
on explicit Logic or Constraint-based models, and numerical data-based 
approaches such as Deep Learning and Large Language Models), Databases 
and Data Mining, or System Specification and Verification.

TIME 2026 is co-located with the 37th International Conference on 
Principles of Diagnosis and Resilient Systems (DX’26) 
<https://conf.researchr.org/home/dx-2026>and it will be from the 1st to 
the 3rd of September 2026 at the University College of Cork.

More details about TIME and the previous editions of this symposium can 
be found via the following link: https://time-symposium.org/ .

Topics of interest

  *

    Temporal Specifications, Verification, Synthesis, Planning 
    (Spatio-temporal representation and reasoning models including
    moving objects tracking, Temporal Logics for finite and infinite
    state system, Model checking with temporal issue, Runtime
    verification, Temporal constraint models and satisfiability, Action
    and change, Temporal Scheduling, Controller synthesis)

  *

    Diagnosis and Supervision of Real-Time systems (Timed Automata,
    Timed Petri nets, Timed Games)

  *

    Time in Machine Learning and Generative Artificial Intelligence
    (Neural networks, Deep/Reinforcement learning, LLMs and Natural
    Language Processing)

  *

    Notable aspects of time in agent- and policy-based systems
    (Multi-agent systems, Markov decision processes, agentic AI frameworks)

  *

    Temporal Data (sensing, discovery, mining, temporal databases and
    dedicated query languages, uncertain/indeterminate/imprecise
    temporal data, temporal data learning)

  *

    Temporal Graphs, Networks (Bayesian network, Neural networks,)

  *

    Event and Pattern recognition (including time series and temporal
    chronicles)

The list above is by no means exhaustive, as the aim is to foster the 
debate around all aspects of time in automation.

Submission guidelines

TIME 2026 accepts submissions in PDF format, formatted following the 
Open Access Series in Informatics (OASIcs) 
<https://drops.dagstuhl.de/entities/series/OASIcs>and preferably using 
LaTeX. TIME policy is single blind, so the names of the authors need not 
be hidden in the submitted draft. Members of the program committee are 
allowed to submit papers. Submitted papers will be refereed for quality, 
correctness, originality, and relevance to the symposium. At least one 
author of each accepted paper must register at the symposium and present 
the paper.

We use EasyCshair throughout the submission and selection process. The 
webpage for submitting papers with all required information can be found 
here <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=time2026>.

There are three types of submissions, and the authors are invited to 
specify under which one their paper lies:1) Original papers(12 pages, 
excluding references and appendix): such papers describe original, 
non-published contributions. It includes theoretical (new algorithms, 
proofs, models) and applied (applications, system descriptions, 
evaluation) contributions.2) Survey papers(12 pages, excluding 
references and appendix): such papers are intended to propose a short 
review of a complete domain of research.3) Extended abstracts(4 pages, 
excluding references and appendix): such abstracts are intended to 
foster debates during the symposium and include: work-in-progress, 
project kick-off or review, PhD summary, and summary of a paper accepted 
in a major conference or journal. They will be specifically mentioned in 
the proceedings as abstracts and not full papers.The proceedings of TIME 
are planned to be published in the Open Access Series in Informatics 
(OASIcs) <https://drops.dagstuhl.de/entities/series/OASIcs>. This is a 
series of high-quality peer-reviewed conference proceedings, and 
published according to the principle of OpenAccess.Finally, the authors 
of the top-ranked papers will be invited to submit an extended version 
of their contribution to a special issue in a high ranked journal; more 
details will be provided in due time.Please contact the program chairs 
for more information:
