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
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
If accepted, posters and demos will be presented at the dedicated conference poster and demo session. For all accepted submissions, inclusion in the official PQQS’26 proceedings is strictly conditional on an author registering for the conference and physically presenting the poster or demo at the designated session.
