Call for Posters

The Organizing Committee of the 2026 Computing Frontiers Conference is pleased to announce a dedicated Poster Session. We encourage the submission of poster papers showcasing the latest research findings, work-in-progress, and emerging ideas across the same topics of interest as in the previously published CF'26 Call for Papers:

• Hardware Frontiers
• Distributed Systems and Networking Frontiers
• System Software and Runtime Frontiers
• Frontiers in AI for Systems and Systems for AI
• Cutting-edge Developments in Computing for Society and Emerging Applications
• Pushing the Boundaries of Cross-cutting Computing Challenges

This opportunity is particularly aimed at students and early-career researchers, who are strongly encouraged to submit and present their work in person. Accepted poster papers will be included in the conference proceedings, with authors retaining full copyright.

Submission

Authors must submit a two-page poster-paper for review. The two pages (including references) must be structured similar to a technical paper, following the ACM conference format. It should describe the content and the research ideas which will be presented in the poster.

Poster submissions will be reviewed by the Poster Program Committee as single-blind submissions. When accepted, authors need to prepare a poster in DIN A0 format to be presented in person at the conference, as well as one (1) slide for a lightning talk paper session. The two-page poster-paper will be published in the conference proceedings with authors retaining full copyright. Each poster requires its own registration.

Posters must be submitted via https://cf26posters.hotcrp.com/.

The poster should be prepared in A0 format in portrait orientation (height: 1189 mm, width: 841 mm). There is no template, so feel free to use your own, but you may want to include the CF conference logo. Make sure the text is clearly readable and graphs and figures are complete with all the necessary labels.

All accepted posters must prepare one (1) slide to be used in the lightning talk, sent before the conference to the poster chairs.

At the Conference

Besides the standard display of posters, the session will commence with lightning talks, a.k.a. elevator pitch of around 3 minutes, where authors will introduce their work to the attendees. There will be a Best Poster Award based on voting by the Poster Program Committee.
