SUBMISSION

Types of submissions

6-10 pages for full papers (not including references, appendices, etc.); 
2-5 pages for short/position papers  (not including references, appendices, etc.)

Long submissions must describe original and unpublished work, empirically evaluated wherever it is appropriate. Long papers will be presented orally for longer period of time than short paper; presentation time is to be decided after the organizers know the humber of accepted papers. If there are many accepted papers we will consider organizing a poster session.

LaCATODA 2026 also solicits short papers. Short paper submissions also must describe original and unpublished work, but it is not a shortened long paper. Instead, short papers should have a point that can be made in a few pages. They may be a small, focused contribution; work in progress; a negative result, an opinion piece or an interesting application nugget.

Anonymity

Reviewing process is double blind, therefore papers must not include authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Nowak, 1999) ..." must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Nowak previously showed (Nowak, 1999) ...

Presentation requirement

All accepted papers must be presented at the conference in person (AAAI requirement) to appear in the proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for LaCATODA 2026 by the early registration deadline.
