■ In an era where knowledge has become the benchmark for nations' progress and renaissance, and innovation the cornerstone for building modern national economies,Thamar University,  the distinguished Yemeni public university,  continues to consolidate its scholarly and research presence, building upon a distinguished record of academic achievements and high-quality scientific events.

 

Following the remarkable success of the Addiction Control Conference organized by the Faculty of Medical Sciences just months earlier, the university proceeds with steady and confident strides toward a new scholarly milestone, embodied in the organization of the Sixth International Conference on Emerging Smart Technologies and Their Applications (eSmarTA-2026).

 

This conference is organized by the Faculty of Computer Science and Informatics, the first specialized faculty in computer science and information technology in the Republic of Yemen, in partnership with Yemen Research (Yemen Research Foundation), the leading Yemeni institution for scientific research and innovation.

 

 The conference constitutes a prominent national and international scholarly milestone, affirming the university's growing position on the map of scientific research, and embodying its vision of building an academic environment capable of keeping pace with global technological transformations and contributing effectively to shaping a more prosperous and sustainable future.

 

The organization of this international scientific event is held under the patronage of Professor Dr. Mohammed Mohammed Hassan Al-Haifi, The Rector of Thamar University, as an extension of the pioneering role undertaken by Thamar University in academic education, supporting scientific research, enhancing the role of research centers, encouraging innovation, and expanding the horizons of partnership, cooperation, and academic openness with universities, research centers, and national and international scientific institutions, by providing a knowledge platform that brings together scientists, researchers, and experts to exchange ideas and experiences, and showcase the latest achievements in the fields of smart technologies and their applications.

 

The conference, organized by the Faculty of Computer Science and Informatics, reflects the scale of development that Thamar University is witnessing in the field of scientific research, and the depth of its partnership with the national research institution (Yemen Research). It also embodies the university's commitment to keeping pace with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, through adopting high-quality scientific initiatives that contribute to knowledge production, developing innovative technological solutions, and harnessing them to serve humanity and development.

 

Under the slogan "Smart Transformation Toward a Secure and Sustainable Digital Future," the conference addresses a wide spectrum of advanced scientific topics in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Cybersecurity, the Internet of Things, Robotics, Computer Vision, Software Engineering, Smart Industrial Systems, Smart Energy, and Modern Telecommunications, in addition to applications of smart technologies in various vital sectors.

 

The conference is distinguished by its broad international scientific participation, as its sessions include dozens of peer-reviewed research papers submitted by researchers and experts representing universities and research centers from various countries around the world, distributed across specialized scientific sessions that discuss the latest research trends and technological innovations, thereby reinforcing its status as one of the most prominent specialized scientific conferences in the region.

 

The significance of the conference extends beyond the presentation of scientific research to encompass building effective research partnerships, promoting international scientific publication, supporting researchers and postgraduate students, and connecting universities with the public and private sectors, thereby contributing to knowledge transfer, stimulating innovation, and transforming scientific research outputs into practical solutions that support sustainable development.

 

The conference is expected to result in the publication of accepted papers after peer review in the conference proceedings, indexed in the Scopus global database, in addition to issuing scientific recommendations that contribute to the development of smart technologies, and launching joint research initiatives and projects, thereby enhancing the scientific presence of Thamar University and supporting its status as a leading academic institution in knowledge production and community service.

 

The eSmarTA-2026 conference embodies Thamar University's vision, which believes that universities are not merely educational institutions, but rather centers of expertise and hubs for knowledge production and innovation. Therefore, the university does not merely keep pace with scientific developments, but rather seeks to actively contribute to shaping them, through investing research capacities, building an academic system based on quality and excellence, and creating a scientific space that brings together minds and expertise to produce innovative solutions to contemporary challenges, thereby contributing to community service, supporting development pathways, and promoting the knowledge-based economy.

 

The Sixth International Conference on Emerging Smart Technologies and Their Applications is not merely an academic event; it represents a living embodiment of Thamar University's vision and mission in leading scholarly momentum, reinforcing the status of research and innovation, and consolidating a culture of knowledge as the optimal path to building the future and shaping development, affirming its growing role as one of the Yemeni universities that makes a difference and opens new horizons for scientific cooperation, creativity, and excellence.
