Built on blockchain technology and governed through smart contracts, DAOs offer transparency, programmability, and decentralized decision-making. However, they remain vulnerable to smart-contract exploits, governance manipulation, malicious proposals, economic attacks, and failures in decentralized coordination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AIDAOS\u201926<\/strong> explores how artificial intelligence (AI), model-driven engineering, and formal methods can improve the security, resilience, and trustworthiness of DAOs and decentralized applications. AI techniques, including machine learning, large language models (LLMs), and intelligent agents, offer new opportunities for vulnerability detection, transaction monitoring, anomaly detection, threat intelligence, and governance analysis. Model-driven approaches and formal verification can complement these techniques by supporting systematic specification, analysis, testing, and verification of smart contracts and governance mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop also addresses the challenges of integrating AI into decentralized ecosystems, including adversarial manipulation, privacy, fairness, accountability, and regulatory compliance. By bringing together researchers and practitioners from AI, cybersecurity, software engineering, blockchain, and distributed systems, AIDAOS\u201926 aims to advance practical and theoretically grounded solutions for secure, adaptive, and transparent decentralized organizations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics of Interest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We invite original research papers, practical implementations, case studies, and novel methodologies on, but not limited to, the following topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AI-Driven DAO Security and Threat Detection<\/li>\n<li>Smart-Contract Vulnerability Detection, Testing, and Repair<\/li>\n<li>LLMs and Generative AI for Smart-Contract Analysis and Security<\/li>\n<li>AI-Assisted Formal Verification and Program Analysis<\/li>\n<li>Model-Driven Engineering and Model-Based Security for DAOs<\/li>\n<li>Secure-by-Design Architectures for DAOs and Decentralized Applications<\/li>\n<li>AI-Based Anomaly Detection, Fraud Detection, and Transaction Monitoring<\/li>\n<li>Blockchain Threat Intelligence and Attack Prediction<\/li>\n<li>DAO Governance Security, Voting Mechanisms, and Proposal Analysis<\/li>\n<li>AI-Enhanced Governance, Delegation, and Decision Support<\/li>\n<li>Tokenomics Modeling, Economic Security, and Incentive Mechanisms<\/li>\n<li>Game-Theoretic Analysis and Simulation of Decentralized Governance<\/li>\n<li>Decentralized Identity, Authentication, and Access Control<\/li>\n<li>Privacy-Preserving AI, Confidential Computing, and Secure Data Sharing<\/li>\n<li>Adversarial AI, Poisoning, and Attacks on AI-Enabled Blockchain Systems<\/li>\n<li>Multi-Agent Systems and Autonomous Agents for DAO Operations<\/li>\n<li>Cross-Chain Security, Interoperability, and Bridge Vulnerabilities<\/li>\n<li>Decentralized AI, Blockchain-Based AI Governance, and Verifiable AI<\/li>\n<li>Security Testing, Benchmarking, and Reproducibility for DAO Systems<\/li>\n<li>Ethics, Accountability, Legal Frameworks, and Regulatory Compliance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Submission and Publication<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Authors are invited to submit papers up <strong>to 15 pages<\/strong>, prepared in the <strong>Springer CCIS format<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Submission platform:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cmt3.research.microsoft.com\/MEDES2026\/\">Microsoft CMT \u2013 MEDES 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Review process:<\/strong> Submissions will undergo peer review based on relevance, originality, technical soundness, significance, and presentation quality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Presentation requirement:<\/strong> At least one author of each accepted paper must attend MEDES 2026 and present the work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Accepted papers will be presented at AIDAOS\u201926 and included in the <strong>MEDES 2026 proceedings<\/strong>, planned for publication in Springer\u2019s <em>Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS)<\/em> series, subject to the publisher\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important Dates<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Paper submission deadline:<\/strong> 20 October 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Acceptance notification:<\/strong> 26 October 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Camera-ready deadline:<\/strong> 01 November 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Workshop Organizers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Alex Norta,<\/strong> Tallinn University, Estonia; University of Pretoria, South Africa<\/li>\n<li><strong>Akram Hakiri, <\/strong>University of Pau &amp; Pays de l\u2019Adour, France<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anne Laurent, <\/strong>University of Montpellier, LIRMM, France<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Publication Ethics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All submissions must comply with established standards of research integrity.
