I don’t understand where to find the Domain Conflicts and the Conflict of Interest form mentioned in the warning page.

Both are accessible from the author CMT account interface:
Domain Conflicts Domain conflicts are declared per author and are linked to each author account.

1. Go to your Author Account
2. Open the Domain Conflicts section
   
3. Declare the relevant domain conflicts
   

Conflict of Interest Form The Conflict of Interest form is available in a paper preview interface.

I’m worried that not all co-authors have completed the conflict of interest form before the deadline. Has my paper already been desk rejected?

No. Your paper has not been desk rejected yet. Authors will be allowed to complete or update conflict of interest information in CMT until desk rejections begin after the full paper deadline (a notification email will be sent beforehand). Please note that: Each author must be registered in CMT Each author must use the same email address as used for the submission

Is it mandatory to enter one’s domain conflicts?

Yes. Domain conflicts must be entered by all authors to avoid desk rejection. Domain conflicts must also be entered by reviewers; otherwise: They will not be assigned any paper They will not be listed as members of the Program Committee of ICDAR 2026

How can I add my domain conflicts?

When you log in to CMT, you will see a request from the Chairs displayed in a reddish box. Within the same box, you will find the link to enter your conflicts. Or follow the instructions above.

Do we need to follow the page margins as well as font size in the Springer LNCS template for our manuscript?

Yes. Parts of tables and figures that exceed the Springer LNCS margins will not be visible in the camera-ready version and should already be avoided at submission. According to standard layout rules: Manuscripts should be readable without zooming Font size requirements apply not only to text, but also to tables and figures We anticipate that it is possible to clearly present your project and results within the allowed 17 pages without pushing formatting limits.

Is it possible to submit a paper that has already been submitted to arXiv?

Yes. Papers submitted to arXiv can be submitted to the conference, as arXiv hosts unreviewed material.

How can I submit supplementary material?

No supplementary material can be submitted.

Will it be possible to add an author or to change the authors‘ order after submission?

No. This will not be allowed.

Will it be possible to attend the conference remotely?

Presentations are intended to be onsite.

I have some questions about the CMT interface. Who can I contact?

For any issues related to CMT, please contact the publication chairs at: [email protected]

Does each co-author need to individually declare their domain conflicts, or is a single declaration sufficient?

Each author must: Be registered in CMT Individually list their domain conflicts of interest A single declaration by the corresponding author is not sufficient.

Shall we add the ORCID numbers for paper authors?

The template includes a placeholder for ORCID numbers, but their inclusion is optional.

I have questions about the paper format. Who can answer?

Any questions regarding paper formatting can be sent to the publication chairs at: [email protected]
