Submission
Call for Papers
The IWCP 2026 welcomes submissions of original, previously unpublished works relevant to the workshop's topics under two formats: full papers and extended abstracts.
Full papers
Full papers are suited for the presentation of original, previously unpublished research results, datasets, tools, or substantial application studies relevant to the workshop's topics. Accepted papers will be presented orally during the workshop, followed by discussion. Note that the oral presentation in person is mandatory in order to be included in the published proceedings.
Instructions for authors:
The conference proceedings will be published as part of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Full papers should follow the LNCS format (Springer Guidelines/Templates) and not exceed 17 pages including figures and references.
The review of conference papers will be double blind. Authors should not include their names, affiliations, or acknowledgements in submitted manuscripts, and should ensure that their identity is not revealed indirectly by citing their earlier work in the third person. By submitting a paper to this Workshop, all authors implicitly agree to be bound by the IAPR Ethical Requirements for Authors.

Extended abstracts
Starting or ongoing projects based on challenging material and/or research questions requiring interdisciplinary collaborations, presenting early-stage or prospective work, preliminary, mid-term or pilot data, newly assembled datasets, or negative results of broad interest can submit an extended abstract of a maximum of 2 pages (800 words) not including figures and references. They should be sent as pdf via email to the Workshop Chairs Dr. Isabelle Marthot-Santaniello( i.marthot-santaniello"AT"unibas.ch) and Dr. Hussein Mohammed( hussein.adnan.mohammed"AT"uni-hamburg.de).
Extended abstracts will be evaluated by the workshop organizers in consultation with the program committee, focusing on relevance, clarity, and potential to stimulate discussion rather than on complete results.
Selected extended abstracts will be presented during the workshop either as short oral presentations or posters, depending on the number and nature of submissions. They will be available on the workshop website but will not be included in the LNCS proceedings. For sensitive (unpublished) corpora, authors may request that their abstracts not be made public.
