https://www.icprs.org

The IEEE 16th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Systems (ICPRS-27) is an annual international event that follows ICPRS-25, ICPRS-24, ICPRS-23, ICPRS-22, ICPRS-21, ICPRS-19, ICPRS-18, ICPRS-17 and ICPRS-16, a continuation of the successful Chilean Conference on Pattern Recognition that reached its 6th edition in 2014. In 2027 it is organised by LaBRI at the Université de Bordeaux (France) and the Chilean Association for Pattern Recognition (ACHiRP, a member of the IAPR), endorsed by the IAPR and sponsored by the IEEE. As per previous years, papers deemed to be of the required standard AND presented at the conference, are planned to be published by the IEEE and indexed in IEEE Xplore. Please note that the publishers might reject papers which are too similar to previous publications, even if the work is presented at the conference. All paper submissions need to be submitted via Conftool to be peer-reviewed (double-blind) by an international panel of experts. For more information, please see https://www.icprs.org. There will be a good set of keynote talks. ICPRS 2027 is planned to be a 100% in person.

ICSOC 2026 BenchSOC: 1st International Workshop on Benchmarking in Service-Oriented Computing

September 30th, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise
;white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.6667px”>==========================================================================================================   

Submission Categories BenchSOC welcomes contributions addressing benchmarking, evaluation, and reusable research resources for SOC, in the following categories:

  • Dataset papers, describing new or re-curated datasets;
  • Benchmark task papers, defining reusable evaluation problems and benchmark specifications;
  • Evaluation methodology papers, proposing or critically analyzing evaluation protocols and performance metrics;
  • Resource mapping papers, surveying existing datasets, benchmarks, and evaluation resources while identifying current gaps;
  • Baseline and reference system papers, providing reusable implementations that facilitate comparative evaluation.

Submissions are expected to clearly describe: (i) motivation and target problem; (ii) construction or design methodology; (iii) design decisions and assumptions; (iv) evaluation protocols and intended use cases; (v) reuse potential and reproducibility.  ==========================================================================================================   

Submission Instructions Proceedings of the workshop will be submitted to CEUR Workshop Proceedings (CEUR-WS.org), an open-access proceedings series, for online publication.

Format and length
Authors are requested to prepare their manuscripts using the CEUR-ART 1-column style template. Papers must not exceed 12 pages, excluding references.
Papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsoc2026) selecting the track “1st International Workshop on Benchmarking in Service-Oriented Computing”.

Research artifacts
Authors are required to make accompanying datasets, benchmarks, software, and other evaluation artifacts publicly available through persistent repositories (e.g., Zenodo or GitHub) to support reproducibility and community reuse.

Dual submission policy
Papers (and related artifacts) submitted to BenchSOC must not be simultaneously submitted to, or under review by, another workshop, conference, or publication venue (including the ICSOC Artifacts Track, associated with papers accepted to the main conference). By submitting a paper to BenchSOC, authors confirm that it is not under concurrent review or evaluation elsewhere.

========================================================================================================== 

Review and Presentation Policy

BenchSOC adopts a single-blind review process. Submissions not conforming to the CEUR-ART 1-column format, the page limitations, or being obviously out of the scope of the workshop, will be rejected without review. All reviews will be conducted in accordance with the reviewer guidelines available on the workshop website.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for either the Workshop Day only (December 1st) or the full ICSOC 2026 conference before the camera-ready deadline. In addition, at least one author must present the paper in person at the workshop. In-person presentation is mandatory for inclusion in the workshop proceedings.

==========================================================================================================  Workshop Organizers – Ada Bagozi (University of Brescia, Italy) – Massimiliano Garda (University of Brescia, Italy) – Ilche Georgievski (University of Stuttgart, Germany) Workshop Advisor

– Massimo Mecella (Sapienza University of Rome, Italy)
