SCOPE

 The ICTAC conference series aims at bringing together researchers and
 practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present
 research and exchange ideas and experiences within theoretical
 aspects of computing through methods and tools for system
 development.  ICTAC also aims to promote research cooperation between
 developing and industrial countries.

COLLOCATED EVENTS

 ICTAC 2026 will be preceded by the ICTAC Postgraduate School on
 Formal Methods for Building Mission-Critical Systems, a two days
 event targeted to master’s and Ph.D. students, early-stage
 researchers, and lecturers in computer science and mathematics.

 The conference will be followed by satellite workshops, including

 - the Industry Day
 - Workshop on Verification & Validation & Runtime Analysis around the
   Hardware/Software Boundary

VENUE

 ICTAC 2026 will be held in San Carlos de Bariloche, located in the
 Patagonian Andes of Argentina, one of the most beautiful destinations
 in South America. Surrounded by mountains, forests, and lakes,
 Bariloche offers stunning landscapes, outdoor activities, and a
 vibrant cultural life.

 The conference will take place at the NH Bariloche Edelweiss Hotel, a
 modern facility located near the city center with easy access to
 restaurants, and public transport.

SUBMISSIONS

 We solicit submissions, related to the topics of ICTAC, in the
 following categories:

 A. original research contributions;
 B. short papers, with original work in progress or with proposals of
    new ideas and emerging challenges; and
 C. tool papers on tools that support formal techniques for software
    modeling, system design, and verification.

 Submissions of regular papers must not exceed 16 pages and short and
 tool papers should not exceed 8 pages, in both cases excluding
 bibliography of 2 pages maximum.

 Submissions must not have been published or be under consideration
 for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judged on the
 basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and
 presentation quality, and relevance to the conference’s topics.

 All contributions to ICTAC 2026 have to be submitted electronically
 in PDF format via Easy Chair

 https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ictac2026__;!!IBzWLUs!Tj4oGHCDX-tu9E-qTO_4sMhLSo_6iHYMPgbJUDMo3DnYtHnDcVPcqcia-Cnacd8kg3rzRf8SZuaqcfAxAwEh0HaM_-6a1ZCocQ$ 

 Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer
 LNCS papers (see https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs__;!!IBzWLUs!Tj4oGHCDX-tu9E-qTO_4sMhLSo_6iHYMPgbJUDMo3DnYtHnDcVPcqcia-Cnacd8kg3rzRf8SZuaqcfAxAwEh0HaM_-5Aa-uD7g$ ),
 without modifications of margins and other space-saving
 measures. Authors should therefore consult Springer’s authors’
 instructions and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or
 for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages
 authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.

PUBLICATION

 All accepted papers in categories A-C will appear in the proceedings
 of the conference that will be published as a volume in Springer’s
 Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

 All accepted papers must be presented at the conference. Their
 authors must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer statement. At
 least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
 conference by the early registration date, and present the paper.
