Call for Workshops Proposals

Workshop Format

The Information Systems and Technologies research and industrial community is invited to submit proposals of Workshops for CISTI 2026 – 21^st Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies to be held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, June 17–20, 2026. Two types of Workshops may be proposed: Regular Workshops and Project Workshops.

Regular Workshops should focus on a specific scientific subject on the scope of CISTI 2026 but not directly included on the main conference areas. Each regular workshop will be coordinated by an Organizing Committee composed of, at least, two researchers in the field, preferably from different institutions and different countries. The organizers should create an international Program Committee for the Workshop, with recognized researchers within the specific Workshop scientific area. Each workshop should have at least 10 submissions and 5 accepted papers in order to be conducted at CISTI.

Project Workshops are intended to promote the dissemination and facilitate the future exploitation of EU Latin-American and national project results such as EU/Horizon, CSIC, FCT, QREN, Portugal 2020 or 2030, Fund. Gulbenkian, CYTED, CAPES, CNPq, FINEP and other Projects/funding sources. The results to be disseminated may be preliminary project results (for unfinished projects) or the project final results (for already finished projects). Each project workshop should be directly related to a Project funded in a competitive manner by a National/International Science Organization. The Workshop should be coordinated by an Organizing Committee composed by at least two researchers including the Principal Investigator of the project.

Each Workshop will have 1 article offered for 10 articles with paid registration, 2 articles offered for 20 articles with paid registration, and 3 articles offered for 40 articles with paid registration.

The selection of Workshops will be performed by CISTI 2026 Conference Chairs. Workshops full papers will be published in the conference main proceedings in specific Workshop chapters.

Proceedings will be submitted for indexation by WoS, SCOPUS, EI-Conpendex, INSPEC and Google Scholar. Detailed and up-to-date information may be found at CISTI 2026 website: http://www.cisti.eu/.

Workshop Organization

The Organizing Committee of each Workshop will be responsible for:

Producing and distributing the Workshop Call for Papers (CFP);
Coordinating the review and selection process for the papers submitted to the Workshop, as Workshop chairs (on the paper submission system installed for all the Workshops);
Delivering the final versions of the papers accepted for the Workshop in accordance with the guidelines and deadlines defined by CISTI 2026 organizers;
Coordinating and chairing the Workshop sessions at the conference.

CISTI 2026 organizers reserve the right to cancel any Workshop if deadlines are missed or if the number of registered attendees is too low to support the costs associated with the Workshop.

Call for Papers

We are pleased to invite the academic and business community to submit their papers to CISTI'2026 - 21^st Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies, to be held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain (and online), between the 17th and 20th of June 2026. Authors are encouraged to submit original scientific contributions such as state-of-art reviews and new research perspectives, groundbreaking ideas and/or architectures, solutions and/or applications for real problems, empirical and/or evaluation works, case studies, etc., in conformity with the themes of this Conference. The articles can be written in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

Four types of papers can be submitted:

Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, opened to discussion. These papers are assigned a 10-page limit.

Poster paper: Initial work with relevant ideas, opened to discussion. These papers are assigned a 4-page limit.

Company paper: Companies' papers that show practical experience, R & D, tools, etc., focused in some topics of the conference. These articles are abstracts with a maximum of 4 pages.

Papers submitted for the Scientific Committee’s evaluation must not include any information leading to the authors’ identification. Therefore, the authors’ names, affiliations and bibliographic references should not be included in the early version. This information should only be included in the final version.

Submitted papers must not have been published and must not be under review for any other conference and national or international publication.
