      <p>The CITA24 Doctoral Symposium is co-located with the ANSALB International Conference
on Information and Communication Technologies (CITA2024) and held from June 27 to
28, 2024, at ISBA, Champs de “Foire, Cotonou, Benin (West Africa)”.</p>
      <p>The CITA24 doctoral symposium is intended to attract postgraduate researchers with a strong
background in AI and IT security. It has allowed the PhD students to present and discuss their
research internationally, fostering interactions between students and researchers from
academia and industry.</p>
      <p>Experienced researchers in AI, machine learning, deep learning, and computer security
offered guidance to PhD students on various aspects of completing a PhD and conducting
successful research. Short papers (up to four pages for technical content and one page for
references) and regular papers (5+ pages), written by students and their research advisors,
were collected.</p>
