Camera Ready Submission

STEP 1: Important Dates

At least one author per accepted tutorial extended abstract must complete author registration by July 20, 2026.

Final camera-ready manuscripts must be submitted by July 20, 2026 AoE.

STEP 2: Page Limits

Paper Type	Proceedings Volume	Page Limit
Tutorial Extended Abstracts	ACSOS-C	2 pages including references

STEP 3: Formatting Your Paper

Submitted abstracts should not exceed 200 words.
Final submissions must use US Letter page size, the two-column IEEE conference proceedings format, and PDF format.
IEEE templates are available from the IEEE Author Center: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Do not include page numbers, headers, or footers.
The camera-ready version must include author names, affiliations, and acknowledgments as appropriate.

STEP 4: Submitting Your Final Version

Once the format of your paper has been verified and validated, you may submit your final version.

All papers should be submitted using the submission system provided by the IEEE Author Submission Site. Please use the correct site for your proceedings volume:

Tutorial Extended Abstracts: ACSOS-C Author Submission Site: The IEEE Author Submission Site link will be provided directly to authors of accepted papers by the corresponding track chairs.

After you login to the IEEE Author Submission Site, please follow the instructions as you click the Next button on the top right corner of the site. Please enter the following information exactly as it appears on your paper:

Paper ID (Paper ID from EasyChair, unless CPS assigns a different ID)
Names of authors, affiliations, countries, and email addresses
Title and abstract

Follow the instructions to submit your final manuscript.

STEP 5: Submitting a Signed Copyright Release Form

ACSOS 2026 requires authors to submit a fully digital version of the electronic IEEE Copyright-release Form (eCF). The eCF is provided at the IEEE Author Submission Site.

Follow the instructions in the IEEE Author Submission Site to properly fill out and submit the IEEE Copyright-release Form (eCF), including:

Paper's full title
All author names
Conference title:
- 2026 IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems Companion (ACSOS-C)
Signature on the appropriate line

The signed IEEE Copyright-release Form (eCF) should be submitted together with your camera-ready manuscript by July 20, 2026 AoE.

If you have any questions about the above procedures, please contact the Proceedings Chair: Jialong Li (lijialong@aoni.waseda.jp).

Note: Extra pages are not allowed unless explicitly stated by the conference organizers. Please complete each of the above steps. The conference organizers will not be responsible if your paper is omitted from the proceedings, is not available online in IEEE Xplore, or is subject to additional processing costs if these steps are not performed.

Call for Tutorials

With more and more researchers and practitioners looking into studying and developing systems with self-* capabilities, the requirement for a deep understanding of fundamentals, theory, tools, processes, approaches, applications rises. The IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) is the prime conference for autonomic, self-adaptive, and self-organizing systems. Thus, it is the leading forum to introduce, showcase, and disseminate the related practical tools, applications, processes, and approaches to a wide audience, and to improve the understanding of the foundational theoretical frameworks.

ACSOS 2026 hereby solicits contributions for tutorials on tools, applications, processes, and techniques in autonomic computing, self-adaptation, self-organization, and related topics on autonomous and self-* behavior, both practical and theoretical. Tutorials are expected to adhere to the same topics as the main track. They can either be long “hands-on” tutorials (3 to 4 hours), or short “overview”/“quickstart” tutorials (1 to 2 hours).

All the tutorials will be presented in the “satellite” events program (i.e. along with workshops) of ACSOS 2026. Tutorial proposals (see below) can be accompanied by an extended abstract to be included in the ACSOS Companion (ACSOS-C) proceedings.

Proposals for ACSOS tutorials should be submitted through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsos2026 (select tutorial track).

Submission

Submissions to the tutorial track in ACSOS 2026 entail submissions of both Tutorial Proposal and Tutorial Paper as follows.

Tutorial proposals are subject to peer review and will be accepted based on relevance to the conference, expected impact on the audience, clarity, structure, scientific content, and expertise of the proponents (in the tutorials’ topics).

Proponents of accepted tutorials are encouraged to submit an extended abstract, according to the formatting guidelines and deadlines indicated below. Extended abstracts are also subject to peer review.

Tutorial Proposals

Proposals for tutorials should be organised as an advertisement for participation, with a maximum of two pages and contain the following information:

Title of the Tutorial.
Authors of the tutorial (name, contact information, and affiliation). If multiple presenters/instructors are planned for the tutorial, please indicate the reference (contact) instructor.
Abstract for the conference website (200 words).
Formate.g., hands-on (software tool, library, application), overview (research thread), theoretical, or combination of the previous Duration (1 to 2 hours) for short and (3 to 4 hours) for long tutorials.
Syllabus of the tutorial including expected learning outcomes/objectives.
Target Audiencee.g. industry/ academia / mixed, with brief explanation.
Prerequisites for the participants.
Short bio of the tutorial instructors.
Information about previously given tutorials on the topic or related topics, either in another venue by the same (or subset of) organizers, or at ACSOS even by other organizers.

Tutorial extended abstracts

Proponents of accepted tutorials are encouraged to submit an extended abstract for inclusion in the proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems Companion (ACSOS-C).

2 pages including references.
Submissions are required to be formatted according to the standard IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide.

Important Tutorial Requirements

By submitting a tutorial proposal to ACSOS 2026, you are making a commitment to register and attend the conference upon acceptance of your tutorial proposal.
Please note that ACSOS 2026 cannot guarantee to honor specific requests for holding the tutorial on specific dates.
Tutorial material (i.e., slides and handouts) must be made available for download to tutorial registrants. The suggested format for all presentation slides is 16:9 (i.e., 1920 x 1080).

Registration

One presenter per tutorial receives a complimentary one-day tutorial pass registration for the day of the tutorial. Other presenters, if any, must register for the conference and/or any tutorials they wish to attend (thus, including their own).
If an extended abstract has been submitted, an author registration is still required for it to be included in the proceedings.
