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.

To address these challenges and foster interdisciplinary collaboration, the International Conference on Semantic Intelligence in Massive Computing (SIMC 2026) is established as an international forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to exchange ideas, present cutting-edge research, and discuss emerging trends and applications. SIMC 2026 aims to serve as a premier international forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to present and exchange recent advances, innovative ideas, and practical experiences in semantic intelligence and massive computing systems.

SIMC 2026 will be hosted by Ho Chi Minh University of Banking (HUB). The conference will be held from August 26 - 28, 2026, in Ho Chi Minh City, bringing together international and local researchers in an academic and industrial hub of Southeast Asia.
