  *Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call.*


  ------------------------------------------------------------------------


  *FoIKS 2026 invites poster contributions presenting fresh research
  ideas in the broad area of information and knowledge systems. Poster
  papers need not report mature scientific results; they can also
  describe early-stage work, starting points for discussions, or novel
  perspectives on known problems.*

  (see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
  Submissions that deviate substantially from the guidelines may be
  rejected without review.

  *


      Review process: single-blind (submissions are not anonymous).

  *


      Length: up to 5 pages including all material, i.e. including
      references and no additional resources.

      Submissions: PDF format only (final versions require LaTeX sources).

  *


      Submission
      link:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=foiks2026


  Poster papers will undergo a rather lightweight review process. A good
  poster paper should include motivation, a clear problem statement, and
  initial results or report on work in progress. Preliminary ideas and
  modest extensions of previous work are welcome.


  At least one author of each accepted poster paper must register for
  the conference. Each accepted poster will be presented in a lightning
  talk and a poster session at FoIKS 2026.


  For inquiries, contact: [email protected]


  ------------------------------------------------------------------------


  PUBLICATION


  Accepted poster papers will appear in the FoIKS 2026 proceedings,
  published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
  series.
