SUBMISSIONS

We solicit submissions, related to the topics of ICTAC, in the
following categories:

A. original research contributions;
B. short papers, with original work in progress or with proposals of
new ideas and emerging challenges; and
C. tool papers on tools that support formal techniques for software
modeling, system design, and verification.

Submissions of regular papers must not exceed 16 pages and short and
tool papers should not exceed 8 pages, in both cases excluding
bibliography of 2 pages maximum.

Submissions must not have been published or be under consideration
for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judged on the
basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and
presentation quality, and relevance to the conference’s topics.

All contributions to ICTAC 2026 have to be submitted electronically
in PDF format via Easy Chair

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ictac2026

Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer
LNCS papers (see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs),
without modifications of margins and other space-saving
measures. Authors should therefore consult Springer’s authors’
instructions and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or
for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages
authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.

PUBLICATION

All accepted papers in categories A-C will appear in the proceedings
of the conference that will be published as a volume in Springer’s
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

All accepted papers must be presented at the conference. Their
authors must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer statement. At
least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference by the early registration date, and present the paper.
