Instructions for Paper Submission

Submissions are to be made to via EasyChair and received by the
deadline (11:59 p.m. American Samoa time).

All submissions must be written in high-quality English and only PDF
files will be accepted (a Latex source file will be required for the
final version of accepted papers).

All submissions should be appropriately anonymized (i.e., papers
should not contain author names or affiliations, or obvious
citations). Submissions should be at most 16 pages (using 10-point
font) in the LNCS format, excluding the bibliography and well-marked
appendices, and at most 20 pages in total. For more information about
templates (LaTex or Word) and conditions, please go to here.

A paper submitted to STM 2026 must not substantially overlap papers
that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a
journal or a conference with proceedings. Moreover, after you submit
to STM 2026, you must await our response before submitting
elsewhere. If you submit your paper to another conference or journal
either before or after submission of the paper to STM 2026, we will
reject your paper without review and will also notify the other
conference/journal. This restriction applies to identical as well as
to substantially similar papers.

As in previous years, the proceedings will be published online by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (past
STM proceedings are available here). As such, the final version of an
accepted paper must be in the format required for publication in the
LNCS series. Authors should consult Springer's authors' guidelines and
use their proceedings templates. Springer encourages authors to
include their ORCIDs (https://goo.gl/hbsa4D) in their
papers. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection
without consideration of their merits.

In addition, the corresponding author of each accepted paper, acting
on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign
a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the
copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the
paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to
the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

At least one author of accepted papers must guarantee that they will
present their paper at the workshop.
