Call for Poster & Demo Papers

Poster and demo paper submissions for ACM PQQS 2026.

Introduction

The 2026 ACM Conference on Post-Quantum and Quantum-based Security (PQQS’26) invites submissions for Poster and Demo papers.

Poster papers provide an opportunity to present late-breaking results, novel ideas, ongoing work, system prototypes, implementation experiences, datasets, benchmarks, or emerging research directions of interest to the PQQS community. Demo papers serve a similar purpose but specifically focus on showcasing a live or recorded demonstration of a system or research prototype.

Important Dates

  • Submission Deadline: September 25, 2026 (Anywhere on Earth / AoE)
  • Author Notification: October 9, 2026

Submission Site

Submissions are accepted at https://pqqs26.hotcrp.com/.

Poster Paper Guidelines

Length: Poster submissions must be a maximum of 2 pages, including all references.

Formatting: Papers must be formatted using the official ACM proceedings template (sigconf style).

Anonymization: Poster submissions will follow the exact same anonymization rules as regular papers. They must be strictly double-blind. Author names, affiliations, and acknowledgments must be omitted, and prior work must be referenced in the third person.

Demo Paper Guidelines

Length and Formatting: Demo submissions follow the same 2-page limit (including references) and formatting rules as poster papers.

Anonymization: Demo papers are also subject to the double-blind anonymization rules.

Demo Submission: In addition to the 2-page paper, demo submissions must accompany a demonstration of a system or a research prototype. Authors should provide a link to a video, a repository, or an interactive web application that reviewers can access to evaluate the prototype. Ensure that these external links are also anonymized to maintain the double-blind review process.

Presentation and Publication

For each accepted paper, at least one author must complete a non-student full conference registration for the paper to be presented at the conference and included in the conference proceedings. One non-student full conference registration for a paper cannot be used for more than one paper (One paper - One registration).
