Important note to authors about the new ACM open access publishing model:

ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a full geographic waiver will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.

Further information may be found on the ACM website, as follows:

• Full details of the new ICPS publishing model: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/faq
• Full details of the ACM Open program: https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess

Please direct all questions about the new model to icps-info@acm.org.

Guidelines for Authors

KUI 2026 uses the ACM TAPS workflow for submission and publication. A simplified single-column template is required for submission, while the final paper will be rendered in two columns for publication upon acceptance.

Articles must be complete, i.e., contain title, abstract, keywords, full text (emphasising unpublished, novel, advances, theories and/or applications), short analysis of results and findings, conclusions, and bibliography. Submitted full articles must be blind, i.e. no authors should be named.

All relevant information incl. the submission template can be found at the following link:
https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions.

The paper must be submitted via EasyChair at the following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kui2026.

A submission implies a willingness to register for the conference and present the paper if it is accepted.

Review process

All submissions are subject to double-anonymized peer review by two experts in the relevant area. The reviewers’ recommendations for each paper are discussed by the Program Committee and the General Chairs, and final decisions on acceptance or rejection are taken by the Program Chair. All submissions are checked for plagiarism.

Final paper submission

Camera-ready versions of accepted papers must include authors’ names with affiliation, text, figures, appendices, and bibliographic references. Authors should disclose their use of AI tools in the acknowledgements section. Due date: August 31, 2026.

Presentation of paper

One author of each accepted paper is requested to register for the conference and to present their work. This is a requirement for all accepted submissions to be published as part of the conference proceedings. The organizers agreed on a physical-only conference mode.
