The First International Conference on Semantic Intelligence in Massive Computing (SIMC) 2026 is hosted by Ho Chi Minh City University of Banking (HUB), Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The rapid growth of massive computing environments, including cloud computing, edge–fog architectures, Internet of Things (IoT), and large-scale data-driven platforms, has created unprecedented demands for intelligent systems capable of understanding, reasoning, and acting upon data at scale. In this context, Semantic Intelligence, which integrates semantic modeling, knowledge representation, reasoning mechanisms, and artificial intelligence, plays a crucial role in enabling meaningful data interpretation, interoperability, and intelligent decision-making in complex computing ecosystems.

Semantic intelligence empowers massive computing systems to move beyond raw data processing toward context-aware, knowledge-driven, and explainable intelligence. By embedding semantics into data, services, and infrastructures, such systems can achieve higher levels of automation, adaptability, and trustworthiness across diverse domains such as smart cities, finance, healthcare, education, cybersecurity, and large-scale enterprise systems. However, several challenges remain, including semantic heterogeneity, scalability of reasoning, real-time semantic processing, and the integration of semantic intelligence with modern AI and high-performance computing architectures.

SIMC 2026 serves as a specialized forum that brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to present recent advances, exchange innovative ideas, and discuss emerging trends and applications in semantic intelligence for massive computing environments. The special theme aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and contribute to the advancement of explainable and knowledge-driven intelligent systems.
