Author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper. The authors should make a reasonable effort not to reveal their names and affiliations in the text, figures, photos, links, or other data contained in the paper.

While this is OPTIONAL in this year\u2019s congress, providing these materials enables reviewers to better assess the quality and reproducibility of the reported results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submission Instructions: <\/strong>Authors can upload a compressed file via the optional &#8220;Artifact evaluation materials&#8221; field on the EasyChair submission page. This file must contain a PDF document that describes the artifacts. The actual materials (e.g., datasets, source code, tools, etc) can be either included directly in the compressed file or hosted on a persistent public repository (e.g., Zenodo, GitHub) with a link provided in the document.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artifact Description Requirements:<\/strong> The submitted document should provide detailed instructions to facilitate reproducibility, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access &amp; Links: A stable link to the public repository containing the artifacts (if not included in the compressed file).<\/li>\n<li>User Guide: Clear documentation and a step-by-step guide on how to run the code and reproduce the results reported in the paper.<\/li>\n<li>Environment: A description of the experimental setup, including hardware and software dependencies. The use of executable containers (e.g., Docker) is encouraged.<\/li>\n<li>Data &amp; Methods: (When applicable) A description of data origins, collection methods, and metadata.<\/li>\n<li>Assessment: Guidelines on how to interpret the results.<\/li>\n<li>System Requirements: A statement of any specific hardware (e.g., GPUs) or cloud services required. If full replication is costly or infeasible, authors are encouraged to provide a simplified setup to verify basic executability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Formatting &amp; Publication:<\/strong> The artifact description document should follow the conference Paper Formatting guidelines (IEEE style). There is no page limit for this document. This document is used solely for the review process and will not be included in the conference proceedings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anonymity: <\/strong>As this congress employs a double-blind review process, please ensure that the document, artifacts and repository links are fully anonymized (e.g., using Anonymous GitHub or removing author metadata) before submission.<\/p>\n<h3>Presentation Policy<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The organizers of the 2026 IEEE World Congress on Services remain steadfast in advancing our discipline by continuing to engage an international community of scholars committed to the highest standards of research quality. To support the service community of academic and industrial researchers around the world, IEEE SERVICES 2026 will be held in Sydney, Australia<\/span><b>, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">in hybrid mode. We require all speakers to rigorously observe the following presentation policy to safeguard Congress&#8217; excellent reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>1. Registration: <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All papers must be registered! Authors with two or more papers must register each paper separately. Papers with no registration will be removed from the conference proceedings in the IEEE\u2019s Digital Library Xplore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2. Inexcusable no show: <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">IEEE\u2019s policy for conference proceedings inclusion requires authors to participate in the conference and present their papers. When an in-person paper presentation cannot be delivered unexpectedly, a remote presentation with a recorded video as backup is allowed. Inexcusable no-shows will result in the papers being removed from the conference proceedings in the IEEE\u2019s Digital Library Xplore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>3. Paper presentation: <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To maximize the quality of experience, each paper must be presented in English. Remote presenters must guarantee their availability at least for the presentation of their paper according to point 2. A replacement should be identified in case of audio-video technical problems. All co-authors of a registered paper are entitled to receive a complimentary virtual registration code. As a consequence the no show policy at point 2 will be firmly applied and papers removed from the conference proceedings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4. Pre-recorded videos: All remote presenters with papers in the proceedings must upload a pre-recorded video of their presentation. For onsite presenters, pre-recorded videos are optional. No-shows will be evaluated according to points 2 and 3 above. This task is mandatory for remote presenters although only meant to be a backup in case they (and all their co-authors) experience some exceptional and unpredictable event impeding participation. Recorded presentations may be allowed on a case-by-case basis. A paper without an approved delivery of presentation will be rejected and excluded from the conference proceedings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Only the authors who will be presenting their papers remotely and those whose on-site attendance plans are not entirely certain should <a href=\"https:\/\/services.conferences.computer.org\/2025\/remote-presentations\/\">follow these instructions <\/a><\/b><b>and prepare their video recording.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3>Presentation Time (including Q&amp;A)<\/h3>\n<p>Regular papers: 20 minutes<br>Short papers: 15 minutes<br>WIP papers: 10 minutes<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conferences: Important Dates Paper Submission for ICDH:22 March, 202611 April, 2026 (extended and firm) Paper Submission for Others:08 March, 202622 March, 2026 (extended and firm) Acceptance Notifications:\u00a010 May, 2026\u00a0\u00a0 Camera-ready and registration:\u00a031 May, 2026\u00a0 Chair\u2019s and Invited Papers: Important Dates EasyChair submission deadline: 25 April, 2026\u00a0 Acceptance Notifications:\u00a016 May, 2026\u00a0\u00a0 Camera-ready and registration:\u00a031 May, 2026\u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-57","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/services.conferences.computer.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/services.conferences.computer.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/services.conferences.computer.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/services.conferences.computer.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/services.conferences.computer.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/services.conferences.computer.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/services.conferences.computer.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
