29th ACM International Conference on Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control (HSCC 2026), and
17th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems(ICCPS).
HSCC/ICCPS 2026 will be a collaboration between two premier conferences in the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) community. For the first time, the International Conference on Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control (HSCC) and the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS) will operate as a unified event with parallel sessions, joint keynotes, and a common program committee, while maintaining their distinct identities and publication venues. We are also creating a third “pillar” on AI-enabled autonomy to showcase topics in this important and rapidly emerging area. Additionally, we are providing a formal space to an existing emphasis by joining forces with the Autonomous Systems Design (ASD) Initiative which has been hosted at the DATE conference for the past 5 years.
The combined conference will accept papers in three tracks:
Foundations,
Systems and Applications,
AI-enabled autonomy.
Topics of Interest
Authors should submit their best work to one of the following three tracks, which best aligns with their paper’s primary contribution:
Foundations Track
Mathematical foundations, computability and complexity
Formal methods for cyber-physical systems
Analysis, verification, validation, and testing methodologies
Modeling paradigms and techniques for hybrid systems
Control theory for cyber-physical systems
Programming and specification languages
Network science and network-based control theory
Theoretical aspects of safe autonomy
Formally Verified Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
Algorithmic foundations for CPS
High assurance techniques for CPS
Computational tools and complexity analysis
Autonomous Systems Design (ASD) specific topics:
Design processes for trustworthy autonomous systems
Design, verification, test, and maintenance of autonomous systems
HW/SW architectures for dependable and resilient autonomous systems
Models and HW/SW mechanisms for self-X capabilities
Mastering emergent and evolving behavior (goals, constraints, …)
Functional safety and cybersecurity of autonomous systems
Systems/Applications Track
CPS architectures and platforms
Deployments and industrial applications
Real-world case studies and testbeds
System integration and middleware for CPS
Sensing, actuation, and monitoring systems
Human-machine interaction in CPS
Security, privacy, and resilience design and implementations
Neurosymbolic CPS
Assurance cases for AI-enabled CPS
Autonomous Systems Design (ASD) specific topics:
Design processes for trustworthy autonomous systems
Design, verification, test, and maintenance of autonomous systems
HW/SW architectures for dependable and resilient autonomous systems
Models and HW/SW mechanisms for self-X capabilities
Mastering emergent and evolving behavior (goals, constraints, …)
Functional safety and cybersecurity of autonomous systems
CPS applications in:
Automotive and transportation systems
Aerospace and avionics
Energy and smart grid systems
Healthcare and medical devices
Manufacturing and Industry 4.0
Robotics and autonomous systems
Smart cities and infrastructure
Agriculture and environmental monitoring
AI Enabled Autonomy Track
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Generative AI for cyber-physical systems
Foundation models and transformers for CPS
Safe learning and verification of AI-enabled CPS
Neurosymbolic approaches to autonomy
Physics-informed machine learning
Explainable AI for safety-critical systems
Learning-based control and planning
Data-driven modeling and analysis
AI-based situational awareness and decision-making
Autonomous Systems Design (ASD) specific topics:
Design processes for trustworthy autonomous systems
Design, verification, test, and maintenance of autonomous systems
HW/SW architectures for dependable and resilient autonomous systems
Models and HW/SW mechanisms for self-X capabilities
Mastering emergent and evolving behavior (goals, constraints, …)
Functional safety and cybersecurity of autonomous systems
We are also joining forces with the Autonomous Systems Design (ASD) Initiative which has been hosted at the DATE conference for the past 5 years. ASD-specific topics have been integrated into each of the three pillars of this conference.
For 2026, the publication venues will be selected by authors, according to the relevant conference (HSCC or ICCPS).
Unified Submission Process
All papers will be submitted through the hotcrp conference management system (submission link will be posted on the conference page: http://hscc.acm.org/2026 ).
Authors must indicate their (a) target track and (b) publication venue preference (HSCC or ICCPS) at submission time
Papers will be reviewed by a unified program committee with expertise spanning all the relevant areas.
PC may decide to move papers across tracks, if appropriate, while informing the authors.
Common submission format and guidelines for submission.
All submissions must use the ACM two column conference submission format.
The format for the final, camera ready papers will differ for the two conferences.
Instructions will be provided to authors of accepted papers at the appropriate time.
Publication Venues
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the conference selected during submission time.
All accepted papers will be presented at the joint conference with equal visibility in one of the three parallel tracks.
Authors who choose to publish in the IEEE proceedings will need to convert their papers to a new style but will receive an adequate page limit for the camera-ready version to enable such conversion.
Papers must clearly indicate their primary contribution (Foundations vs. Systems/Applications vs. AI-enabled Autonomy).
Paper Categories
Regular Papers
Maximum 10 pages (excluding references) : Full technical contributions with comprehensive evaluation.
Short papers
Maximum 6 pages(including references): Short papers can include work-in-progress, position papers, tool-papers, or focused contributions.
Artifact Evaluation
Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to participate in artifact evaluation. Papers passing this process will receive appropriate badges. Participation or justification for non-participation will be considered for best paper award eligibility.
The artifact evaluation process will run after the acceptance notifications, and the important dates for this process along with detailed instructions will appear by January 2026.
Special Issues in Journals
Selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to:
ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems
Non-Linear Analysis : Hybrid Systems (details to be finalized)
Important Dates
- Abstract Submission Deadline: November 6, 2025 AoE.
- Submission Deadline: November 13, 2025 AoE.
- Repeatability Evaluation Submission: November 20, 2025 AoE.
- Rebuttal Period: January 7-11, AoE.
- Notification Deadline: January 29, 2026 AoE.
- Repeatability Evaluation: March 10, 2026 AoE.
- Camera ready: March 31, 2026 AoE.
- Conference dates: May 11-14, 2026
