Call for Posters and Demos

Call for Posters and Demos

 The joint HSCC/ICCPS 2026 seeks high-quality posters and demos, including late-breaking results or work-in-progress, on three tracks:

  • Foundations,
  • Systems and Applications,
  • AI-enabled autonomy.

HSCC/ICCPS 2026 posters and demos should focus on the same areas as the main conference (see the main conference’s CFP). Both theory and application-related works are encouraged. We welcome submissions from academic, industrial, and government sectors.

Posters presented at the conference will provide an opportunity for conference attendees to interact with researchers in an informal setting. Posters may be about already accepted papers, ongoing research projects, discussions on new problem statements, or preview of late-breaking results. Demos will give the audience a closer look at tools and techniques, and offer an interactive experience with the demonstrated entities.

The selection criteria for acceptance will be: novelty, technical merit, relevance to HSCC/ICCPS and, especially for demos, details on the presentation. If desired and not previously published, abstracts up to 2 pages in length describing the poster or demo will be included for publication in the electronic proceedings of either HSCC or ICCPS.

These sessions are an excellent way to exchange ideas and for presenters to obtain feedback from the attendees. The Best Poster/Demo prizes will be awarded and announced during the conference and on the website.

Unified Submission Process

  • All posters/demos will be submitted through the hotcrp conference management system –  submission link will be posted here by Feb 14, 2026.
  • Authors must indicate their (a) target track and (b) publication venue preference (HSCC or ICCPS) at submission time 
  • Posters/demos will be reviewed by a unified poster/demo program committee with expertise spanning all the relevant areas.
    • PC may decide to move posters/demos across tracks, if appropriate, while informing the authors. 
  • Common submission format and guidelines for submission.
    • All submissions consist of an extended abstract of no more than two pages in the ACM template. The title of the submission should have the format: “Poster/Demo Abstract: <Paper title>”
      Posters: Poster presentations do not have to describe completed work. Poster abstracts can report ongoing or preliminary research work, present case studies, or discuss new research directions.
      Demos: Demo abstracts should describe both the technology that will be presented, as well as the user interface.
    • The format for the final, camera-ready papers will differ for the two conferences.
    • Instructions will be provided to authors of accepted posters/demos at the appropriate time. 

Publication Venues

  • If desired and not previously published, accepted posters/demos will be published in the proceedings of the conference selected during submission time.
  • Authors who choose to publish in the IEEE proceedings will need to convert their posters/demos to a new style.
