Important dates

  • February 15 - Abstract submission (250 words)
  • February 27 - Abstract notification of acceptance
  • April 30 - Full paper submission (6 pages)
  • June 26 - Full paper notification of acceptance and review comments
  • August 21 - Camera-ready manuscript
  • September 16-17 - SIMS conference

Please note the possibility of submitting a 2-page discussion paper instead of a full paper, particularly for topics of significant industrial relevance. You will still need to submit a 250-word abstract by February followed by the discussion paper by May 21st. Discussion papers will be presented at the conference but will not be part of the proceedings. Presenters of discussion papers must register with full or 1-day registration. Registration opens in early 2026.

To ensure broad participation and maintain a balanced technical program, each individual may serve as the corresponding author for no more than two (2) submitted papers. Authors may contribute to additional papers as co‑authors, provided they will not be designated as the presenting author for those submissions
