Are you interested in hosting a workshop at ISC 2026? We provide a collaborative platform for professionals within high performance computing and applied domains to come together to address, discuss, and develop solutions for specific industry challenges. You have the option to host two types of workshops.
1. Workshops with Proceedings: These focus on distributing their own call for papers and implementing a peer-review process. They have specific requirements and a submission schedule. Accepted papers will be published in post-conference proceedings. Please read the section “conference proceedings” carefully before submitting your workshop.
2. Regular Workshops: These workshops will not have their own call for papers. The organizers however are encouraged to submit a state-of-the-art review/summary paper of their workshop with at least six pages to be included in the conference proceedings. This paper should summarize the presented content and key findings of the workshop.
NEW AT ISC 2026
We offer workshop organizers with proceedings to collect and review submissions in the ISC submission platform.
INFORMATION FOR SPEAKERS
For guidance on preparing and delivering your presentation, please refer to our Speaker Manual, which provides all necessary details for your upcoming contribution at ISC.

Word of advice for organizers of Workshops with Proceedings
You must submit a list of accepted workshop papers by April 15, 2026. We recommend setting the paper submission deadline for mid-March 2026 and notifying the authors of acceptance by mid-April at the latest, so that the speakers can benefit from the early bird pricing and you can meet the deadline for the number of accepted workshop papers.

Submission Process
- Upload as a single PDF file with important items covered in the ISC submission templates: Workshops with Proceedings / Regular Workshops.
- Upon acceptance, please submit the workshop program website, which should include a URL containing general information about the workshop and its agenda. The website does not need to be finalized and can be updated with additional details before the workshop date. The ISC website will feature all workshops and provide links to their respective submitted websites.
Review Process
- Each workshop proposal will receive a minimum of 3 reviews
- Workshops will be evaluated based on originality, significance, quality, and clarity
TERMS & CONDITIONS
- By submitting a workshop proposal, you agree to organize and host the workshop in person in Hamburg.
- Please read our workshop guidelines to understand the conference organizer’s and the workshop organizer’s responsibilities.
- Workshop organizers and speakers must register for an ISC 2026 workshop pass. ISC will grant a 100% discount on one workshop pass to organizers of half-day workshops and two workshop passes to organizers of full-day workshops.
- ISC will provide meeting room facilities and basic technical equipment for the workshops. Workshop organizers and speakers must bring their presentation laptops and adapters.
- The workshop organizers will have to align their program with the workshop break schedule (morning sessions are from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.; afternoon sessions are from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with coffee breaks and lunch in between). Catering during coffee and lunch breaks will be provided to all registered workshop attendees.
- ISC will promote the workshops as part of the regular conference publicity activities. However, it is recommended that workshop organizers use their channels to attract attendees to their events.

PUBLICATIONS
Conference Proceedings
The post-conference Workshop Proceedings will be published with Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
We will organize the proceedings in a lightweight fashion. Workshops with proceedings must submit at least three full papers of significant scientific content, with a minimum of six pages and a maximum of 12 pages per paper (including a bibliography and appendices, with two possible extra pages after the review to address the reviewer’s comments). If a workshop submits less than three papers in total, it will not be included in the workshop proceedings. Please read Springer’s guidelines and technical instructions for LNCS contributions.
Papers that are very short (fewer than four pages) may be moved to the back matter. These papers will not be available for indexing, and they will not be individually visible on SpringerLink. However, they will be listed in the Table of Contents. Abstracts of invited talks that are not accompanied by a full paper will be included in the front matter and not in the main part of the proceedings. Submitting short papers and abstracts does not align with the concept of a workshop with proceedings.
NEW: You can use the ISC submission portal to collect and review workshop papers. If the workshop papers are to be included in the ISC workshop proceedings published by Springer, it is mandatory to use the portal. More information will follow upon acceptance.
The organizers of regular workshops are encouraged to submit a state-of-the-art review/summary paper of their workshop, with a minimum of six pages, to be included in the conference proceedings. This paper should summarize the presented content and key findings of the workshop.
Workshop organizers are also free to organize the publication of paper proceedings on their own.
Presentation Materials for Attendees
Presentation slides will be available in the event platform (Swapcard) for registered attendees.
ISC Workshop proceedings
The ISC 2024 Workshop Proceedings are still available in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Click below to explore the papers.
