SUBMISSION

Submitted papers must be original and not under review in a journal or another venue with formally published proceedings. They will be evaluated by peer review on the basis of originality, significance, technical soundness and clarity of exposition. Reviewing is single blind.

Papers must be at most 12 pages excluding references, in the Springer LNCS/LNAI format: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

The submission system opens on 4 January 2027. Abstract registration before paper submission is mandatory. Submissions are handled through EasyChair: [link]

Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference and present their work; at least one author of each paper must register. To ensure a balanced programme, we kindly ask that each participant present no more than two papers.

PROCEEDINGS

The proceedings of ECSQARU 2027 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series, a subseries of LNCS. As with previous editions, a special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning is planned, where extended versions of selected papers will be published.

BEST PAPER AWARD

Two Best Paper Awards of 500 euros each, where one is for young researcher, supported by Springer will be granted at the conference.
