Submissions

Traditionally, the DL review process follows a single-blind model, where reviewers can see the authors’ names. Therefore, for standard submissions, please include author names in your submitted files. However, if you have a specific reason to remain anonymous, you may opt for the anonymous (i.e., double-blind) submission option instead. The new submission platform—HotCRP—supports both options, allowing authors to select their preferred review model during the submission process (see screenshot for reference).

Submission Categories

Submissions within the scope of the workshop are invited in one of the following formats:

  • Regular Papers: Up to 11 pages (excluding references)
  • Extended Abstracts: 2 to 4 pages (excluding references).

All submissions must follow the CEURART formatting style using our DL-specific template and submitted through HotCRP for DL 2026 in PDF.

Regular Papers

  • Must provide substantial contributions that can be cited in other publications.
  • Should not have been previously published or be under submission elsewhere.
  • May include an appendix with additional proofs, evaluation data, or other relevant content.

Extended Abstracts

  • Should ideally include an appendix with additional proofs, evaluation data, or an extended version of the paper.
  • If the abstract is based on a paper accepted or under review at another venue, the authors must clearly state the venue and the paper’s status.
  • The appendix is optional and will be reviewed at the discretion of the reviewers, but it will not be included in the proceedings.
  • Unlike the main submission, the appendix does not need to follow the CEURART format.

Presentation Selection

Accepted submissions (both regular papers and extended abstracts) will be considered for oral or poster presentations at the workshop. The selection will be based solely on content quality, not on the type of submission.

Worshop Proceedings

Accepted papers will be published as informal proceedings. The proceedings shall be submitted to the CEUR Workshop Proceedings series for online publication. The copyright of papers remain with the authors. Full papers will be indexed by DBLP; but extended abstracts published on CEUR proceedings will not.
