Call for Demos
We invite demo contributions to the IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) 2026. The conference will take place in Shenyang, China, from November 12th to 15th, 2026.
ICDM is a leading conference dedicated to research in data mining and knowledge discovery, encompassing a wide range of topics from novel algorithms and applications to the latest advancements in data science.
The Demo Track provides a platform for researchers and practitioners to showcase their innovative and practical systems. It offers an opportunity for conference attendees to engage with and learn about new developments through interactive demonstrations. Demos must be based on fully implemented and tested systems.
Submitted demos should align with the relevant topics of ICDM, including but not limited to data mining techniques, data management, and practical applications of data science.
Important Dates
Demo paper submission: August 20, 2026
Notification to authors: September 18, 2026
All submission deadlines are end-of-day in the Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time zone.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit original papers which have not been published elsewhere, and which are not currently under consideration for another journal, conference or workshop.
Formatting Requirements: Submissions must be written in English, in the IEEE 2-column format (), and must adhere to the IEEE conference template. LaTeX users should use the IEEE template for conference papers.
Submission Length: Submissions should be a single PDF file, up to four (4) pages in length, including references. Authors are encouraged to include links to external material related to the demo (e.g., code repositories) within the submission.
Submission Portal:https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2026/icdm26/scripts/ws_submit.php?subarea=S
Authorship: Submissions are not anonymous. Authors should list their names and affiliations.
Reviewing: Submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the Demo Committee based on originality, significance, quality, and clarity. The review process will be single-blind.
Ethical Use of Data and Informed Consent: Authors should include a section on the ethical use of data and/or informed consent of research subjects in their submission, where applicable. Compliance with IEEE’s policies on research involving human participants is required.
Publication and Presentation Policies
Publication: Accepted demo papers will be published in the ICDM 2026 Workshop Proceedings and indexed by the Engineering Index (EI). Additionally, a brief pre-recorded video can be optional, which will be made available on IEEE Xplore, alongside the PDF.
Registration: To be included in the workshop proceedings, each accepted demo must be covered by a separate conference registration. At least one author of each accepted demo paper must register at the AUTHOR rate (full Member/Non-Member). Student registration does not satisfy this requirement, even if the author is a student. Registration must be completed by the camera-ready deadline.
Presentation: All accepted demos must be presented in person at the conference. No-show demos may be withdrawn from the workshop proceedings. Demos are also required to produce an on-site poster.
Best Demo Paper Award: A Best Demo Paper Award will be presented at the Awarding Ceremony of ICDM 2026.
