Post Conference Publication and Indexing

The proceedings of the Computing 2026 conference will be published by Springer in the "Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems" series. These proceedings will also be submitted for indexing in major databases, including Web of Science, SCOPUS, INSPEC, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH, and SCImago.

(*) Papers from the late-breaking round will be published as a separate proceedings volume after the conference.

Presentation format

Oral presentation or poster. Authors can indicate their preferred presentation format while submitting the paper. The final decision whether the paper is accepted for oral presentation or as a poster lies with the Technical Programme Committee.

The event is scheduled to take place in person. However, authors who are unable to travel overseas will have the option to participate virtually.

Submission Process

All submissions will be evaluated through a double-blind peer-review process, with criteria based on originality, research quality, accuracy, relevance to the conference theme, and readability.

Please ensure you review the complete call for papers guidelines before submitting.

Guidelines

Submission Guidelines

• We accept initial submission in PDF format only.
• In order to adhere to the double-blind peer review process, please ensure that no author details, institutional affiliations, country information, or any other identifying information is included in the paper.
• Authors are responsible for thoroughly proofreading and finalizing their paper before submission. Please note that no changes can be made once the paper is submitted for review. However, if the paper is accepted, authors may make minor revisions before final publication to improve specific sections.
• Upon submitting the camera-ready version, authors must include complete author details as per the paper format. Author names, email addresses, and their sequence will be considered final as per the submitted camera-ready version.
• Submissions must be primarily original work. No more than 25% of the content may be derived from previously published material by the same authors, and proper citation is required for any reused content. Therefore, at least 75% of the manuscript should consist of new, unpublished material.

Review Process

Submissions will undergo an anonymous (double-blind) review process. As such, your manuscript should not reveal your identity or affiliation. Specifically, you must remove author names and affiliations, anonymize citations and references to your previous related work, and exclude any funding or acknowledgments.

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three regular program committee members or two senior program committee members. Acceptance will be determined based on the paper's novelty, technical depth, elegance, impact (both practical and theoretical), and quality of presentation.

• Original: The paper should introduce a new idea, project, or issue, offer fresh insights into existing research, present original findings, or provide a novel perspective on existing information.
• Engaging: The presentation should engage the audience and be interactive, or address community needs in a way that is likely to attract a large audience to the conference.
• Significant: The paper should address key issues related to enhancing the effectiveness of current techniques, and its content should be clear and widely applicable.
• Quality: Claims made within the paper should be backed by sufficient data, reference relevant existing work, and transparently acknowledge any limitations.
• Clear: The outcomes of the paper should be easily understood.
• Relevant: The paper's topic should be aligned with at least one of the conference’s designated tracks.

Use of AI-Assisting Tools

The conference permits the responsible use of Generative AI (GenAI) tools in manuscript preparation. Authors are required to observe the following:

• Declare Usage – Any use of GenAI must be disclosed in the manuscript (e.g., in a Declaration on Generative AI section).
• Maintain Responsibility – Authors must critically review and edit AI-assisted text; unedited AI output is not acceptable.
• No AI Authorship – GenAI tools cannot be listed as authors. Authorship is limited to humans who take full responsibility for the work.
• Limit Role of AI – GenAI may support drafting and language refinement, but the development of scientific ideas, arguments, results, and conclusions must be carried out by human authors.
• Accountability – Authors remain fully accountable for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their manuscripts.

Note: Non-compliance with these guidelines will be treated as academic misconduct and may result in the removal of published work.
