Call for papers
Submissions are open across four tracks
ATIS 2026/14–15 December 2026/Bengaluru
Requirements
What a submission must be
Six conditions. A submission that misses any of the first four is rejected before it reaches a reviewer.
- Length
12 pages
Springer counts everything, references included. Over-length papers are accepted but attract an extra-page charge at registration.
- Format
Springer CCIS
Use the current Springer CCIS template, linked above. Papers submitted in another format are desk-rejected without review.
- Anonymity
Double-blind
No names, affiliations, acknowledgements or identifying repository links. Cite your own prior work in the third person.
- Originality
No concurrent submission
Work under review at another archival venue may not be submitted. Non-archival workshop papers are fine.
- Reviewers
3 per paper
Plus a meta-reviewer who writes the decision summary. Reviews are released to the submitting author with the decision.
- Proceedings
Springer CCIS
Payment of the registration fee is mandatory for a paper to appear. One registration covers the presentation and publication of one accepted paper.

Review
How review works
Each submission goes to three reviewers and one meta-reviewer, assigned by topic bidding with conflict-of-interest filtering against your declared affiliations and recent co-authors. Reviewers see the paper, the supplementary material and nothing else.
The meta-reviewer writes a decision summary explaining which arguments carried weight. Decisions, the full review text and that summary are sent to the submitting author together on the notification date.
Accepted papers are published with their review text and decision summary attached. Rejected papers are never disclosed, and reviewer identity is not released in either case.
