Submission Instructions
Regular Papers
- ISSAC 2026 invites the submission of original research contributions to be considered for publication and presentation at the conference. Papers should not duplicate work published or submitted for consideration elsewhere.
- Papers must be in English and should not exceed 8 pages in the ACM
two-column style, found at:
http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

However, 2 additional pages may be used for bibliographical references, and/or for experimental results (tables, figures), experimental data (e.g. input or output systems for a solver) and computer program code (library code, scripts, worksheets, Makefiles, etc.). The portion of the paper before these two additional pages must be self-contained. - Extended abstracts are not allowed.
- At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper.
- Submission is via EasyChair, at the web site https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=issac26. The opening date for submissions is January 15th, 2026.
Software Presentations
- The software presentations at ISSAC are opportunities to demonstrate and communicate about new implementations of algorithms in symbolic and algebraic computation. Of relevance are presentations for new software, new packages or new developments that present some originality or improved performance compared to the state of the art.
- Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in PDF format of no more than 4 pages. The abstracts will be reviewed by the software committee and relevant experts when needed. The review criteria are content, originality, style and relevance. The accepted software abstracts will be distributed at the conference as well as published in an upcoming issue of the ACM SIGSAM Communications in Computer Algebra.
Poster Presentations
- The poster session at ISSAC is a venue to announce early research results or ongoing projects that might not yet be complete. Posters reporting on recent work published or accepted or submitted elsewhere are also welcome (with original publications clearly referenced). The authors are encouraged to create their poster presentations on a single large A0 sheet.
- Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in PDF format of no more than 4 pages. The abstracts will be reviewed by the short communications committee and relevant experts when needed. The review criteria are content, originality, style and relevance. The accepted poster abstracts will be distributed at the conference as well as published in an upcoming issue of the ACM SIGSAM Communications in Computer Algebra.
ACM Open and Article Processing Charges
The ISSAC'26 conference will be organized in cooperation with the ACM, which will publish the articles in the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Starting from 2026, and similarly to all other ACM publications, all articles will be published Open Access, following the ACM Open model. You may find all relevant information for authors, regarding affiliated institutions and article processing charges (APC) on the page: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance
In addition, the conference is offering to sponsor the APCs of papers in the case where they are not covered by the institution of any of its authors, or by any existing waiver. In order to avoid any unnecessary over-expenditure for the conference, please consider choosing among the co-authors of your submission a corresponding author from an affiliated institution or benefiting from a waiver, whenever possible.
