Paper Submissions:

VSTTE 2026 accepts both long (limited to 16 pages, excluding references) and
short (limited to 10 pages, excluding references) paper submissions. Short
submissions also cover “verification pearls” describing an elegant proof or
proof technique. Submitted research papers and system descriptions must be
original and not submitted for publication elsewhere.

Papers must be submitted via EasyChair at the VSTTE 2026 conference submission
page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vstte2026.

The use of LaTeX and the Springer LNCS class files<https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines> is strongly encouraged.

Submissions that are not in the proper format or are too long will not be considered.

Accepted regular-track papers will be included in the post-conference
proceedings of VSTTE 2026, which will be published as a LNCS volume by
Springer Verlag. Authors of those papers will have to transfer copyright of
their contribution to Springer Verlag.
