A workshop bringing together the data mining, urban computing, and intelligent transportation communities to advance how we model, predict, and govern movement in cities.
Urban systems are generating unprecedented volumes of heterogeneous data from multimodal transportation networks, smart cards, GPS and probe vehicles, mobile phones, social sensing, administrative records, freight operations, public service platforms, infrastructure sensors, and contextual sources such as weather, land use, and events.
These data create major opportunities for the data mining community to advance mobility pattern recognition, urban behavior understanding, public service optimization, policy evaluation, safety monitoring, and resource allocation. At the same time, urban intelligence and mobility applications raise core ICDM challenges, including spatiotemporal mining, graph learning, multimodal data fusion, privacy-preserving analytics, cross-domain knowledge transfer, uncertainty quantification, interactive analytics, and robust evaluation.
UIM3 2026 brings together researchers and practitioners working on AI and data mining methods for urban intelligence and multimodal mobility systems, with particular interest in mobility pattern mining, population synthesis, urban sensing, privacy-aware learning, graph and trajectory analytics, simulation-ready data mining, and deployable decision-support pipelines for mobility and public services.
UIM3 2026 invites original research papers on data mining and artificial intelligence for urban intelligence and multimodal mobility systems. We welcome methodological, application-driven, and interdisciplinary contributions that advance the understanding, modeling, prediction, and optimization of urban and mobility systems using modern data mining tools.
Accepted papers will be included in the IEEE ICDM workshop proceedings, and the program may include invited talks and a panel discussion on future directions in urban intelligence and multimodal mobility mining.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
| Paper submission deadline | August 20, 2026 |
| Notification of acceptance | TBD |
| Camera-ready deadline | October 5, 2026 |
| Workshop date | TBD (half-day, in conjunction with ICDM 2026) |
All deadlines are 11:59 PM AoE (Anywhere on Earth) unless stated otherwise. Papers not received by the submission deadline, or camera-ready files not received by October 5, may be excluded from the ICDM workshop proceedings. Remaining dates will be posted here as soon as they are confirmed.
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically as a PDF, formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society proceedings template (two-column format). Submissions must be original and not under review or accepted elsewhere. Following ICDM convention, papers are reviewed under a triple-blind policy — please omit author names and affiliations from the submitted manuscript.
All accepted papers will appear in the IEEE ICDM 2026 Workshop Proceedings (ICDMW) and be indexed in IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register and present at the workshop.
Submissions are handled through the ICDM 2026 CyberChair portal. Please select "UIM3 2026 Workshop" as the track when submitting.
Submit via CyberChair →We plan to invite two to three speakers from the communities of urban computing, mobility data mining, digital government, and AI for transportation systems, selected to reflect both methodological depth and application relevance, and to promote diversity across geography, seniority, and research perspective.
The program committee will include researchers with expertise in data mining, spatiotemporal analytics, graph learning, urban computing, transportation systems, privacy-preserving learning, visualization, and simulation-based urban modeling, formed with attention to diversity in geography, seniority, gender, and sector. A preliminary committee will be drawn from academia, research institutes, and industry working across:
A detailed PC list will be posted here after workshop approval and before the CFP is circulated.
