Since the proceedings will be published by Springer in the CCIS series, authors must submit manuscripts using the CCIS style (see style files and details). Springer has provided a LaTeX template in Overleaf for your convenience. The page limit for submitted papers (as well as for final, camera-ready papers) is 16 pages (excluding references). DAIS 2026 follows a double-blind review process. Authors are therefore asked to remove all identifying information (self-references, acknowledgments, involved research projects, etc.) from the manuscript.

Manuscripts not submitted in the CCIS style or exceeding the page limit will be desk rejected. Likewise, submissions that do not primarily focus on aspects of conceptual modeling shall be rejected without undergoing formal reviewing. Papers submitted must not be under evaluation for or have already been published in, or accepted for publication, in a journal or another conference.

Each paper admitted to the review process will be reviewed by at least two program committee members and, if positively evaluated, a third review and a meta-review will be conducted by two additional program board members. The selected papers will be discussed among the paper reviewers online to conclude a decision.

Research papers will be assessed for the extent of contribution, grounding in the literature, novelty, presentation quality, relevance, and technical rigor. Industry reports should demonstrate the impact of conceptual modeling in a real-world setting, arguing for the generalisability of methods and lessons learned. Vision papers should describe an ambitious and credible future state of conceptual modeling, articulating the need, research plan, and potential impact of the vision.
