There are two levels of submissions: short abstracts (mandatory) and extended abstracts (encouraged but optional).
Time for all deadlines is 23:59 anywhere on earth.
In order to give a presentation at ICMS 2026 you will need to submit a short abstract by March 1, 2026.
Speakers are encouraged to submit an extended abstract between 4 and 8 pages by March 28, 2026.
The decision of the programme committee will be communicated by April 24, 2026.
If your submission has been proposed for acceptance, we kindly ask you to revise your work according to the reviews and provide us the sources by May 10, 2026. The final acceptance is subject to the condition that you implement the changes requested (if any). You may go beyond 8 pages in your revision, however before you go beyond 10 pages, please double-check with your session chair.
The sources must include one LaTeX file with the extended abstract, one bib file with the references, and one PDF created from the source. Please include any TikZ graphics into the LaTeX source. Additional graphics files may be added to the zip file as PNG or JPG.
The conference proceedings are planned to be part of the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science published by Springer, as previously.
In addition to the usual presentations, there will be an opportunity to submit posters in a poster session by March 28, 2026.
The decision of the programme committee will be communicated by April 24, 2026.
If you want to combine your poster with a software demonstration, please let us know and we will try to arrange a standing table for you.
Note that posters are independent of the sessions, i.e., giving a talk at ICMS 2026 neither is a prerequisite for submitting a poster, nor are speakers excluded from (additionally) submitting a poster.
If you have any question regarding registration, submission or in general, feel free to contact us via email.
