This track is distinct from others as it focuses on real-world challenges and practical solutions faced by industry practitioners, including novel deployed systems and substantial commercial case studies. Given the evolving regulatory landscape, including the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) and the EU AI Act, submissions that address compliance, ethical considerations, and societal impact are especially welcomed and encouraged, as these regulations significantly influence system design and operation.

If a paper includes material generated by GenAI tools (such as text produced by large language models like ChatGPT), it is essential to disclose the extent and nature of this use in a section titled \u201cAcknowledgments\u201d. This allows reviewers to evaluate the overall rigor of the research methodology. However, the use of AI tools for editing and refining authors\u2019 work, meaning tasks like grammar checks, word autocorrect, and other light editing, does not require disclosure. Authors who choose to utilize GenAI tools are fully responsible for any inaccuracies, biases, plagiarism, and other violations, just as if they had created the content themselves.
