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 16, 2026 (old deadline was March 1).
A confirmation of receipt will be sent shortly before the deadline; please notify us if you do not receive it.
Speakers are encouraged to submit an extended abstract between 6 and 8 pages (and no more than 10) by April 18, 2026 (old deadline was April 11).
The decision of the programme committee will be communicated by June 3, 2026.
If your submission has been selected for inclusion in the proceedings, we kindly ask you to revise your work according to the reviews and provide us the sources by July 2nd, 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, but not beyond 10 pages.
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.
It should follow the Springer’s Guidelines for Authors and use the latex template with the LNCS latex style. The sources must include one LaTeX file with the final version of your paper, 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.
A compressed folder (e.g. .ZIP) containing all these files of your final version should be sent to icms26-submit@inria.fr
In addition to the usual presentations, there will be an opportunity to submit posters in a poster session. 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. The posters abstracts must be submitted to icms26-submit@inria.fr (with the subject containing “ICMS26 poster” if possible).
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.
