Workshop Paper Guidelines & Publication Opportunities

Detailed SOC4AI 2026 submission instructions will be announced once the workshop timeline and submission track are finalised.

Expected Paper Format

The workshop expects to follow the standard ICSOC workshop format:

  • Manuscripts should ordinarily be between 8 and 12 pages, including references, appendices, and supplementary material.
  • Submissions should use the official Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format.
  • Papers should be anonymized if required by the final ICSOC 2026 workshop review policy.
  • Submitted work must be original and not under review elsewhere.

Review Process

Each submission will be assessed by independent reviewers drawn from the Program Committee and external experts. Reviews will consider:

  1. Originality and novelty.
  2. Technical soundness.
  3. Clarity of presentation.
  4. Relevance to SOC4AI and ICSOC.
  5. Reproducibility, ethics, and responsible AI considerations where applicable.

Publication

Accepted workshop papers are expected to be included in the official ICSOC workshop post-proceedings, subject to the final publication arrangements announced by ICSOC 2026.
