At the International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE 2026)
in Verone, Italy, June 8-12, 2026
The 2nd Workshop on Compliance in the Era of Artificial Intelligence (CAI) explores the evolving role of compliance in business processes and information systems. As organizations face stringent regulatory requirements, such as GDPR, SOX, AML, and ISO standards, compliance is increasingly vital to operational strategy, helping organizations to avoid penalties, protect reputations, and remain competitive.
In addition to traditional methods like control definition, risk assessment, compliance monitoring and reporting, CAI focuses on how emerging technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), can transform compliance management. These tools can automate repetitive tasks, process large datasets, enhance risk detection, and ensure real-time alignment with regulations, offering a more efficient and scalable approach.
The objective of CAI is to introduce new concepts and techniques for managing compliance in sectors like process management, healthcare, and law. It also aims to address real-world challenges and explore how AI can improve decision-making and strengthen compliance processes across various domains.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Key principles and frameworks for effective compliance
Innovative approaches to compliance across various domains
Methods for identifying and mitigating compliance risks
AI applications for automating compliance processes
Using LLMs to analyze complex regulatory texts
Predictive compliance monitoring
Root-cause analysis of compliance issues
Reporting and visualizing compliance issues
Best practices for compliance in business processes
Techniques for managing data privacy compliance
Case studies of successful compliance implementations and challenges
We invite authors to submit the following types of papers:
Regular papers (up to 12 pages, LNBIP format): Specific techniques and case studies related to the workshop's topics. Depending on the number of submissions, regular papers will be either published as LNBIP or CEUR proceedings. In the latter case, we ask authors upon submission of the camera-ready version to change the format accordingly.
Idea and vision papers (6 pages, LNBIP format): New research directions, ongoing projects or bold visions of new challenges at the intersection of compliance management, AI, and LLMs.
Application and use case papers (6 pages, LNBIP format): Novel applications, including tool demos, and use cases of AI and LLMs for automating compliance management.
Authors of accepted papers (independent of their type) are asked to present and discuss their work at the workshop. Apart from presentations and discussions of accepted papers, the organizers aim to have a plenary discussion. The input from accepted papers as well as the discussion phase is planned to be used in a joint position paper.
Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the CAISE 2026 EasyChair submission site by selecting "2nd Workshop on Compliance in the Era of Artificial Intelligence".
Full paper submissions: March 8th, 2026 March 14th, 2026 (extended)
Notification of acceptance: March 31st, 2026
Workshops: June 8th-9th, 2026
