Call for Papers

Scope

The ICTAC conference series aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present research and exchange ideas and experiences within theoretical aspects of computing through methods and tools for system development. ICTAC also aims to promote research cooperation between developing and industrial countries.

Topics

The conference concerns all aspects of theoretical computer science, including, but not limited to:

Languages and automata
Semantics of programming languages
Logic in computer science
Lambda calculus, type theory, and category theory
Domain-specific languages
Theories of concurrency and mobility
Theories of distributed computing
Models of objects and components
Coordination models, timed, hybrid, embedded, and cyber-physical systems
Security and privacy
Static analysis
Software verification
Software testing
Program generation and transformation
Model checking and theorem proving
Theory and methods of trustworthy AI
Applications and experiences

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 EasyChair: 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.
