Format instructions

Below are detailed instructions for preparing and submitting systems description papers (working notes). Please follow them carefully to make sure they're clear and accepted.

• • The titles of the working notes should follow the format: TEAM NAME at PROFE 2026: a short title describing your work. For example Avengers at PROFE 2026: Fighting against Dr. Doom while Answering Questions

  • System description papers should be formatted according to the uniform 1-column CEURART style. Latex and Word templates can be found in: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip 

  • The minimum length of a regular paper should be 5 pages. There is no maximum page limit.

  • Papers must be written in English.

  • The copyright year command must be changed to \copyrightyear{2026}.

  • The conference command must be changed to \conference{IberLEF 2026, September 2026, Le\'on, Spain}

  • The footer of the first page should look like the following one, but showing the authors of the working notes:

• Eliminate the numbering in the pages of the paper, if there is one, and make sure that there are no headers. On the first page, only the mandatory copyright is allowed as a footnote. You can use footnotes on other pages, but try to keep them at a minimum.

• Authors should be described with their name and their full affiliation (university and country). Names must be complete (no initials), e.g.  “María García” instead of “M. García”.  

• Titles of papers should be in emphatic capital English notation, i.e., "Filling an Author Agreement by Autocompletion" rather than "Filling an author agreement by autocompletion".

• At least one author of each paper must sign the CEUR copyright agreement. The signed form must be sent along with the paper to the task organizers. Important: it must be physically signed with blue pen on paper. These are the two agreement variants, select the one that fits your case. 

  • AUTHOR-AGREEMENT (NTP): Authors shall use this form if they included no copyrighted third party material in their paper text (or accompanying sources, datasets). This is the right variant in most cases.

  • AUTHOR-AGREEMENT (TP): Authors shall use this form if they did include copyrighted third party material in their paper or accompanying material. They must then also attach a copy of the permission by the third party to use this material in the signed author agreement!
