Submission Guidelines

Authors should submit a full, anonymous paper presenting original research related to an IJTCS-FAW 2026 track. The paper should state its contributions clearly and provide the technical content, motivation, and comparison with related work needed for a rigorous review. Detailed topics and policies are available in the Call for Papers.

WINE and ISAAC Fast Tracks

Papers submitted to but not accepted at WINE 2026 or ISAAC 2026 may be submitted through the corresponding IJTCS-FAW 2026 Fast Track by (AoE). Fast-track papers must be within the scope of an IJTCS-FAW 2026 track and satisfy the conference's anonymity, originality, and no-simultaneous-submission requirements.

  • Submit a revised anonymous manuscript using the IJTCS-FAW 2026, WINE 2026, or ISAAC 2026 submission format, and select the appropriate WINE Fast Track or ISAAC Fast Track option in OpenReview. The manuscript must comply with the page limit and other requirements of the selected format.
  • After the references, add a clearly labelled appendix containing the complete, unedited reviews from the applicable conference.
  • Include a brief Changes and Response statement describing how the revision addresses those reviews.

The review appendix and response do not count toward the page limit of the selected submission format. The Program Committee may use the prior reviews and may request additional assessment. See the Call for Papers for the full fast-track policy.
