24th International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research
The 24th International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research (ACAT2027) will take place from March 5-10, 2027, at Tokyo City University’s Setagaya Campus, Tokyo, Japan.
Jointly organized by the University of Tokyo (ICEPP), Nagoya University (KMI), KEK, and Tokyo City University (ARL), ACAT returns to Japan for the first time in 24 years, since ACAT03 at KEK.
Building on the legacy of AIHENP and the ACAT workshop series, ACAT2027 will bring together international researchers to exchange ideas on artificial intelligence, machine learning, advanced computing, and data analysis techniques for fundamental science.
AI and Advanced Computing from Particles to the Cosmos
Artificial intelligence and advanced computing are transforming scientific discovery, from particle and nuclear physics to astrophysics, gravitational-wave science, and cosmology.
The workshop will explore advances in AI-driven analysis, real-time processing, scientific computing infrastructures, heterogeneous architectures, specialized hardware such as GPUs, FPGAs, TPUs, and ASICs, large-scale simulations, and emerging technologies such as foundation models and digital twins.
Through the traditional plenary presentations and three parallel tracks, ACAT2027 aims to foster exchanges across scientific disciplines and computing communities.
Highlights of ACAT2027
In addition to the traditional plenary and parallel sessions, this edition introduces three special features:
-
Nobel Symposium: A keynote by Prof. Takaaki Kajita, 2015 Nobel Laureate in Physics, alongside two other keynote speakers and a round-table discussion exploring the future of science and artificial intelligence.
-
Mini-Symposia: Community-organized sessions dedicated to emerging topics and cross-disciplinary discussions.
-
Lightning Talks: Two-minute presentations allowing poster contributors to introduce their work during plenary sessions.
- Gravitational-Wave Open Science Tutorial: Introducing astrophysics to ACAT for the first time through hands-on exploration of real gravitational-wave data.
Proposals for Talks, Posters & Mini-Symposia can all be submitted through the Call for Abstracts.
