Authors of accepted abstracts are encouraged to submit a short paper for potential publication in the Operations Research Proceedings 2026, which will be published by Springer as part of the book series Lecture Notes in Operations Research. The Program Committee and the Stream Chairs will evaluate the submissions regarding their suitability for publication via a peer-review process to guarantee high quality of contributions accepted for publication. Final decisions will be made by the volume’s editors. 

Submission Guideline

• Use the LaTeX template provided by Springer.
• The maximum length is six pages.
• Ensure that all figures remain clear without color (the book will be printed in black and white only).
• Provide alternative text for figures etc. Use the LaTeX command \Description{…}, allowing us to extract your alt texts from your submission.
