Scope
Modern AI systems must operate in distributed and resource-constrained 
environments. LODAS 2026 aims to bring together researchers working at 
the intersection of learning and optimization to address challenges in 
scalability, reliability, and efficiency for distributed AI systems.

We welcome contributions addressing (but not limited to):

     - Federated, distributed, and edge learning
     - Communication-efficient and resource-aware AI
     - Multi-objective and constrained optimization
     - Workflow scheduling and system-level optimization
     - Agentic AI and autonomous multi-agent systems
     - Foundation models under system constraints
     - Trustworthy, privacy-preserving, and robust AI
     - Cyber-physical systems, IoT, and digital twins
