CARI’2024, Welcome to the University of Bejaia, your host
|
CARI (http://www.cari-info.org/), the African Conference on Research in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, is the outcome of an international cooperation involving African universities, French research institutes, and international organizations. Occurring once every two years since its first edition held in 1992 (Yaoundé, Cameroon), CARI is more than a scientific gathering, but a dynamic environment for cooperation that brings together African researchers, and decision-makers in the fields of computer science and applied mathematics. The scientific program, which reflects the wealth and diversity of the research carried out on the African continent, places special emphasis on work that can contribute to technological development, environmental awareness and natural resource management.
CARI 2024 is organized under the auspices of ASDS (African Society in Digital Science) in partnership with the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (Inria), the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), the Centre de coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD).
The proceedings will be published as a HAL archive as we did for the previous edition (see https://universite-paris-saclay.hal.science/CARI2022).
All relevant information on the different stages (and submission process) will be available on this CARI
website (https://www.cari-info.org/).

Submitted papers have to be original works of their authors, which moreover are not simultaneously submitted to another conference or journal. CARI accepts papers written in either French or English but strongly encourages authors to write in English. The submitted papers are in PDF and they should conform the template given on CARI website. The limit length of papers is 8 pages to which annexes of a maximal length of 4 pages can be added. These annexes will also be published in the proceedings.
During the selection of papers to CARI conference we will also select some best papers to be included in a special issue of ARIMA journal. The limit length of papers does not apply to those selected for the special issue. These papers will be quickly reviewed by the Programme Committee before final acceptance for publication in the journal.
CARI 2024 welcomes and encourages the presentation of methodological contributions in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. CARI 2024 will provide a forum for students and academic/industrial researchers in order to discuss the most recent trends in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics and share innovative research directions for Africa.

CARI 1992-2024 … 32 years of Scientific Partnership France – Africa
CARI 1992-2022
Ds1992: Yaounde, Cameroon: CARI emerges from an agreement between the University of Yaoundé 1, the United Nations University (UNU) and France’s National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique – INRIA). It receives support from the French Ministry for International Development and UNESCO.
1994: Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso: CARI’s backers define a charter. The French Scientific Research Institute for Cooperative Development (ORSTOM, renamed the Research Institute for Development – IRD in 1988) joins the project. Three research projects have received support (Parallel, SIAD, and VOAR); they will serve as a starting point for more ambitious projects.
1996: Libreville, Gabon: CARI collects three new partners: The French Ministry for Cooperation and Development;The International Centre for Pure and Applied Mathematics (ICPAM), an international organisation working for the growth of mathematics in developing countries and the CIRAD, a French research centre working with developing countries to tackle international agricultural and development issues.
1998: Dakar, Senegal: The French-speaking Universities Association (AUF, previously AUPELF-UREF) joins the partners. Maghreb countries are wholeheartedly involved in CARI. The European SIMES project (for a multimedia information system for the sub-Saharan environment) is launched. France Telecom provides financial support. UNESCO takes part in CARI.
2000: Antananarivo, Madagascar: France’s Minister for Foreign and European Affairs becomes a partner. Madagascar’s involvement becomes substantial. Camereau project set up (hydro-geology in Cameroon)
2002: Yaounde, Cameroon: Back to our roots in Yaoundé for CARI’s 10th anniversary. Publication of the first edition of the ARIMA journal (African journal of Research into Computer Science and Applied Mathematics).
2004: Tunis, Tunisia: Start-up of the SARIMA project, supporting research activities in computer science and mathematics in Africa, a large-scale project aimed at developing a network of centres of excellence, a balanced cooperation model between northern and southern teams.
2006 Cotonou, Benin: Increased number of research topics, emphasis on scientific computation and emergence of modelling issues.They were 194 submissions, of which 41 have been accepted. Given the important number of approached topics during the conference it appears increasingly desirable to define topics associated with networks sets of themes.
2008 Rabat, Morocco: CARI’s scientific contributions are now split into seven research areas: modelling of complex systems; signal, image and multimedia; scientific computation and parallel processing; artificial intelligence and machine learning; information systems; distributed systems, embedded systems, networks and mobility; formal methods for software engineering.
