*Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call.*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*FoIKS 2026 invites poster contributions presenting fresh research ideas in the broad area of information and knowledge systems. Poster papers need not report mature scientific results; they can also describe early-stage work, starting points for discussions, or novel perspectives on known problems.*

Poster papers will undergo a rather lightweight review process. A good poster paper should include motivation, a clear problem statement, and initial results or report on work in progress. Preliminary ideas and modest extensions of previous work are welcome.
At least one author of each accepted poster paper must register for the conference. Each accepted poster will be presented in a lightning talk and a poster session at FoIKS 2026.
For inquiries, contact: foiks2026@easychair.org
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLICATION
Accepted poster papers will appear in the FoIKS 2026 proceedings, published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
