This year we will accept poster abstracts in three tracks: short paper track, regular work-in-progress (WiP) track and PhD forum track. Submissions to regular WiP and PhD forum tracks have a 2-page limit, and short paper track have a 4-page limit. Please use the submission template as mentioned above. The deadline for all 3 tracks is the same (August 3rd, 2026, 11:59 PM AoE). The notification date is August 21st.

Please use the "Abstract" section in the submission window to indicate which of the 3 tracks you are submitting to (regular poster, PhD forum, or short paper). There is no need to include an actual abstract in this section. For all 3 types of submissions, follow the submission guide and use the "Submission" button to upload the final PDF.

If you are submitting to the PhD forum track (single blind), please make sure your PDF contains the author names. If you are submitting to the regular poster track or the short paper track (double blind), please make sure your PDF is anonymous.

Topics. Authors are invited to submit extended poster abstracts encompassing ongoing or late breaking research, tools or benchmarks in any of the following fields:

  • Characterization of applications in domain
  • Characterization of workloads for emerging workloads and architectures
  • Characterization of OS, Virtual Machine, middleware and library behavior
  • Implications of workloads in system design
  • Benchmark methodologies and suites
  • Measurement tools and techniques

Proceedings. Regular WiP and PhD forum poster abstracts will NOT be included in the IISWC 2026 proceedings, so that the authors can resubmit their work to a future conference or journal. Short paper poster abstracts will be included in the IISWC 2026 proceedings.
