CARI, the African Conference on Research in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, is the fruit of international cooperation between African, European and international research institutes. Organized every two years since its first edition in Yaoundé in 1992, CARI is more than just a scientific meeting, but a dynamic environment for cooperation that brings together researchers and decision-makers in the fields of computer science and applied mathematics. The scientific program, which reflects the richness and diversity of research carried out on the African continent in particular, focuses on work likely to contribute to scientific and technological development, environmental awareness and natural resource management.

CARI 2024 (17th CARI) is organized under the auspices African Society in Digital Science (ASDS) in partnership with the Institut national de recherche en sciences et technologies du numérique (Inria), the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), the Centre de coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD).

Publication
CARI 2024 accepts submissions in three categories:
• Regular research papers, up to 14 pages in length (excluding references).
• Work-in-progress papers on early results, up to 7 pages in length (excluding references).
• Position papers on introducing new or disruptive ideas (supported, if possible, by empirical evidence and measurements) that differ from prior published work, up to 7 pages in length (excluding references).

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EasyChair using the LNCS format (version 2.20 or above).  At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the conference and present the paper.

All accepted papers will be published in the Springer LNCS series and made available through the SpringerLink Digital Library (indexed by Scopus, ACM Digital Library, dblp, Google Scholar). Selected papers of CARI‘2024 will be considered for a submission of extended versions to the ARIMA Journal.
