Call for papers

Abstrct

Authors from academia, industry, and research institutes are invited to submit an abstract in the DHM2026 Conference Management System (EasyChair), by 5 December, 2025.
The abstract should include no author names, author affiliations, figures/tables or references.
Please structure the abstract using these headings:
– Title (preliminary)
– Keywords (3-5)
– Topic(s) (see section “Scope and Topics”)

Abstract (max 250 words). The abstract should give an outline of the full paper, indicating the paper’s merits and relevance to the scope of the DHM2025 Symposium, and a brief account of the results.
Notification of acceptance will be sent on 9 January, 2026.

Full Paper

Authors of accepted abstracts are invited to submit full papers. The final paper should be 6-9 pages. The required language is English. All submissions are made in the DHM2026 Conference Management System (EasyChair).

All authors must use the specific template for preparing their full papers and strictly follow the given instructions. The full paper is submitted in the DHM2026 Conference Management System (EasyChair) before 6 February 2026. Templates and further instructions are available through the submission link above.

All submitted full papers will be subject to peer review by the Scientific Committee. To increase quality and minimize the risk of bias, the review process is double blind. To allow this, no names or affiliations of authors should be included in the full paper manuscript to be reviewed. Author names and affiliations are later added when submitting the final (camera-ready) version of the paper.

Review comments on full papers will be sent back to the corresponding author by 13 March, 2026.

The modified final (camera-ready) version of the paper should be re-submitted before 27 March, 2026.

For a paper to be presented at the symposium and published in the proceedings, at least one author per paper needs to register to attend. Note that it is acceptable for registered attendees to present multiple papers, either their own research or that of colleagues or postgraduate researchers.
