[Lelio Campanile]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce XAIPE 2026, a workshop co-located with AIxIA 2026, the 24th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence, to be held in Perugia, Italy, October 6–9, 2026.

XAIPE addresses the intersection of artificial intelligence, process engineering, industrial safety, and cyber-physical system security, welcoming contributions on explainable, physics-aware, and trustworthy AI for industrial processes across the chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, energy, water treatment, metallurgy, and other safety-critical domains.

Topics of interest include:
- AI, deep learning, and physics-aware modelling for process engineering
- Explainable and trustworthy AI for industrial processes
- Process monitoring, fault diagnosis, and industrial safety
- Cybersecurity of industrial control and cyber-physical systems
- Digital twins, control, optimisation, and AI deployment

Important dates:
- Abstract submission (optional): July 10, 2026
- Paper submission deadline: July 19, 2026
- Notification of acceptance: August 14, 2026
- Camera-ready version due: September 14, 2026
- Workshop: October 6–9, 2026

We welcome full papers (up to 12 pages) and short papers (up to 6 pages), in CEUR-WS format, submitted via EasyChair:
