ACM ICMI 2026 Call for Late-Breaking Results (LBR)
by Gualtiero Volpe 04 Jun '26

04 Jun '26

ICMI 2026 CALL FOR LATE-BREAKING RESULTS (LBR) =============================================== 5-9 October 2026, Napoli - Italy https://icmi.acm.org/2026/ =============================================== Dear colleagues, Please find below the Call for Papers for the Late-Breaking Results (LBR) track of the 28th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2026). Based on the success of the Late-Breaking Results (LBR) track, ICMI 2026 will continue soliciting submissions for this special venue. The goal of this venue is to provide a way for researchers to share emerging results at the conference. Accepted submissions will be presented in a poster session at the conference, and the extended abstract will be published in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the main ICMI Proceedings. Like similar venues at other conferences, the LBR venue is intended to allow sharing of ideas, getting formative feedback on early-stage work, and furthering collaborations among colleagues. * Online Submission https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions/icmi26a * Highlights - Submission deadline: June 21st, 2026 - Notifications: July 15th, 2026 - Camera-ready deadline: August 2nd, 2026 - Conference Dates: October 6–8, 2026 - Submission format: Anonymized short paper (four-page paper in a double-column format, not including references), following the submission guidelines - Selection process: Peer-Reviewed - Presentation format: Participation in the conference poster session - Proceedings: Included in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) and ACM Digital Library - LBR Co-chairs: Daniel Riccio and Hung-Hsuan Huang * What are Late-Breaking Results? Late-Breaking Results (LBR) submissions represent work such as preliminary results, provoking and current topics, novel experiences or interactions that may not have been fully validated yet, cutting-edge or emerging work that is still in exploratory stages, smaller-scale studies, or, in general, work that has not yet reached a level of maturity expected for the full-length main track papers. However, LBR papers are still expected to bring a contribution to the ICMI community, commensurate with the preliminary, short, and quasi-informal nature of this track. * Why submit to the Late-Breaking Results track at ICMI? Accepted LBR papers will be presented as posters during the conference. This provides an opportunity for researchers to receive feedback on early-stage work, explore potential collaborations, and otherwise engage in exciting, thought-provoking discussions about their work in an informal setting that is significantly less constrained than a paper presentation. The LBR track also offers those new to the ICMI community a chance to share their preliminary research as they become familiar with this field. Late-Breaking Results papers appear in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the ICMI Proceedings. Copyright is retained by the authors, and the material from these papers can be used as the basis for future publications as long as there are significant revisions, as per the ACM and ACM SIGCHI policies. LBR papers will be published as ACM extended abstracts in the Adjunct Proceedings. Under ACM Open, extended abstract article types are not subject to Article Processing Charges (APCs). * Submission Guidelines Extended Abstract An anonymized short paper, four-page paper in a double-column ACM conference format, using LaTeX or Word (excluding references). Papers should follow the same guidelines as papers published in the proceedings of the ACM ICMI conference. The paper should be submitted in PDF format and through the ICMI submission system in the "Late-Breaking Results" track. Due to the tight publication timeline, it is recommended that authors submit a very nearly finalized paper that is as close to camera-ready as possible, as there will be a very short timeframe for preparing the final camera-ready version, and no deadline extensions can be granted. Anonymization Authors are instructed not to include author information in their submission. In order to help reviewers judge the situation of the LBR relative to prior work, authors should not remove or anonymize references to their own prior work. Instead, authors should refer to their own prior work in the third person during submission. After acceptance, such references can be changed to first person if desired. * Review Process LBRs will be evaluated to the extent that they are presenting work still in progress, rather than complete work, which is under-described in order to fit into the LBR format. The LBR track will undergo an external peer review process. Submissions will be evaluated by a number of factors, including (1) the relevance of the work to ICMI, (2) the quality of the submission, and (3) the degree to which it fits the LBR track, for example, in-progress results. More particularly, the quality of the submission will be evaluated based on the potential contributions of the research to the field of multimodal interfaces and its impact on the field and beyond. Authors should clearly justify how the proposed ideas can bring measurable breakthroughs compared to the state of the art. * Attendance Similar rules for registration and attendance will be applied for authors of LBR papers as for regular papers. Further information will be made available later on the conference website. * Website For updates, please visit: https://icmi.acm.org/2026/late-breaking-results/ * Contact For further questions, contact the LBR co-chairs, Daniel Riccio and Hung-Hsuan Huang, at: icmi2026-latebreaking-chairs(a)acm.org We would be grateful if you could circulate this call among colleagues and interested researchers. Best regards, ICMI 2026 LBR Chairs Daniel Riccio and Hung-Hsuan Huang
