          <h2>Welcome to iCAST 2026</h2>
        </div>

        <p>The 14th International Conference on Awareness Science and Technology (iCAST 2026) will be hosted by Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China. "Awareness" is the ability to be conscious of, feel, or perceive (Wikipedia). This implies vigilance in observation and alertness in drawing inferences from what one experiences (Merriam-Webster). The ultimate goal of awareness computing is to create computing systems that are themselves aware. The conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientists to discuss awareness of computing and exchange ideas, opinions, and the latest results in this emerging field.</p>
		
		<p>All accepted regular papers will be published by the Conference Publishing Service (CPS) of IEEE and submitted to IEEE Xplore digital library. Please notice that CPS enforces a "NO SHOW" policy, and only papers that an author presents at the conference site will be sent for inclusion in the digital libraries. Also, they are submitted for indexing in EI (Compendex) and Scopus.</p>
