Submissions
The submission of abstracts and papers will be handled through the ICCL 2026 EasyChair management system.
Full paper submissions
Full papers should have a length between 8 to 15 pages following the LNCS style files. For a paper to be included in this volume, it should be presented at the conference by one of the authors.
Upload the pdf file of the 8-15 page regular paper in LNCS style on the EasyChair platform.
Paste the abstract corresponding with the full paper in the textbox (maximum 3000 characters, including spaces) to be included in the abstracts booklet, which will be distributed during the conference.
Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Additionally, Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are available in Overleaf. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
Extended abstracts (for presentation only)
Submitted abstracts should not exceed one page (maximum 3000 characters, including spaces). At most 4 references can be included. Mathematical formulas can be included in LaTeX notation. Accepted Abstracts should be presented at the conference by one of the authors.
