CAiSE’26 Call for Workshops
CAiSE is the premier conference series on Advanced Information Systems (IS) Engineering. It covers all relevant topics in the area, including methodologies and approaches for IS engineering, innovative platforms, architectures, and technologies, and engineering of specific kinds of IS. CAiSE conferences also have the tradition of hosting workshops in related fields. Workshops are intended to focus on topics and provide ample room for discussions of innovative ideas and developments.
CAiSE 2026, the 38th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference, related to the CAiSE topics, covering new emerging topics and targeting innovative papers in special focus areas.
Workshop organizers are strongly encouraged to focus their events on topics that are not already explicitly addressed by the two co-located working conferences BPMDS and EMMSAD.
Prospective workshop organizers should specify whether they plan an event with a presentation-oriented track or a discussion-oriented track.
Presentation-oriented Track:
These will concentrate on presentations of accepted papers and discussions of these papers. These workshops’ proceedings are intended to be published in a joint volume in the Springer LNBIP series. Submissions must conform to the Springer LNCS/LNBIP format and should not exceed 12 pages. According to the Springer standards, the overall acceptance rate cannot exceed 45%-50%.
Discussion-oriented Track:
This track emphasizes discussions facilitated by paper presentations revolving around novel ideas and early-stage research. Since the main criterion for paper acceptance in such workshops is relevance and potential for raising discussion, they are not expected to have their proceedings in the Springer LNBIP volume. The discussion-oriented track papers will be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication if preconditions for publishing at CEUR-WS.org are met.
Proposal submission
Workshop proposals should be submitted via EasyChair at the following address:
Please select the Author role and the CAiSE 2026 – Workshops track. Prior contact with the workshop chairs (caise2026-workshops@easychair.org) is encouraged.
The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their own workshop, eliciting high-quality submissions, organizing the reviewing process of their workshop’s papers according to the principles and guidelines of CAiSE, and collecting camera-ready copies of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with the formatting rules). Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop.
