SOFSEM 2026 -- Call for Posters

51st International Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice
of Computer Science

February 9–13, 2026, Kraków, Poland

https://sofsem.uj.edu.pl

Poster Deadline:     December  1, 2025 AoE
Poster Notification: December  8, 2025
Poster Camery-Ready: December 15, 2025

If you have some late-breaking or preliminary results, or want to give
your Ph.D. students a first chance to participate in a conference,
consider submitting (via Easychair) a 2-page abstract (LNCS style,
including references).  Additionally, you can (but you don't have to)
upload a draft of the poster itself, in order to get feedback from
members of the program committee.

Poster abstracts will appear in the conference proceedings (LNCS) but
will not be considered properly reviewed publications, so full papers
can later be submitted to other conferences.

Posters must be presented in the poster session of the conference.

Early registration fees will be ~500 EUR (full) and ~400 EUR (student),
including lunches.  Affordable accommodation (~55 EUR single, ~66 EUR
double room per night) in the immediate vicinity of the conference
location is available.

Tradition

SOFSEM is an annual winter conference devoted to the theory and
practice of computer science. The conference traditionally focuses on
the latest results and developments of fundamental research in
computer science (informatics), inspired by the algorithmic challenges
of our time. SOFSEM has a long tradition as a high-quality research
conference, and a venue where researchers from academia and industry
in all stages of their career can share their insights.

Topics

The program committee encourages submission of original research
papers in all areas of foundations of computer science and artificial
intelligence, including e.g.

– algorithm engineering,
– algorithms and data structures,
– theory of machine learning and data science,
– automata, languages, rewriting systems,
– combinatorial optimization,
– combinatorics on words,
– computability, decidability, models of computation,
– computational complexity,
– computational geometry,
– cryptography and security,
– logic in computer science,
– games and online algorithms,
– graph drawing,
– graph algorithms,
– mathematical programming,
– network science,
– parallel and distributed computing,
– parameterized complexity,
– probabilistic and analytic methods in computer science,
– quantum computing,
– robotics,

and other relevant theory topics in computing and AI.
