Contribution Submission

All contributions to the IEEE ISC2 2026 are to be submitted and managed through the EDAS platform.

Authors submitting manuscripts are required to select the appropriate thematic track, special track, or workshop within EDAS and follow the corresponding submission guidelines. To be considered for inclusion in the conference proceedings, all full papers submitted to thematic tracks, special tracks, and workshops must comply with the Manuscript (Full Paper) Preparation instructions provided below.

At least one co-author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and attend in person to present the work. Please note that accepted papers can only be uploaded upon completion of a full registration, and each full registration allows for the upload of up to two papers (track or workshop papers).

For proposals related to special tracks, workshops, tutorials, and exhibitions, there is no predefined template. Proposers should consult the respective calls for detailed instructions and select the appropriate submission category on EDAS.

We warmly encourage you to contribute to IEEE ISC2 2026 and look forward to your submissions.
