WorldCist is a global forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the latest innovations, trends, results, experiences, and challenges from various perspectives in Information Systems and Technologies. WORKSHOP FORMAT Workshops should focus on a specific scientific subject in the scope of WorldCist'26 but should not be directly included in the main conference areas. Each workshop will be coordinated by an Organizing Committee composed of at least two researchers in the field, preferably from different institutions and different countries. The organizers should create an international Program Committee for the Workshop, with recognized researchers within the specific Workshop scientific area. Each workshop should have at least ten submissions and five accepted papers to be conducted at WorldCist'26. The selection of workshops will be made by the WorldCist '26 Conference/Workshop Chairs. Each Workshop will have 1 article offered for 10 articles with paid registration, 2 articles offered for 20 articles with paid registration, and 3 articles offered for 40 articles with paid registration. Workshops' full and short papers will be published in the conference's main proceedings in specific workshop chapters published by Springer in a book of the LNNS series. Proceedings will be submitted for indexation by WoS, SCOPUS, DBLP, and EI-Compendex, among several other scientific databases. Extended versions of the selected papers will be published in journals indexed by WoS/SCI, SCOPUS, and DBLP.
