Call For Posters & Demos<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

BRAINS 2026 invites submissions for demonstration sessions (demos) aimed at showcasing research prototypes, tools, systems, simulations, and (decentralized) applications related to blockchain and distributed ledger technologies. Demo sessions provide an excellent opportunity for both academic and industry researchers to present innovative systems, illustrate novel technical solutions, and engage in direct discussions with the conference audience.<\/p>\n

In addition to demos, BRAINS 2026 will feature a poster session. We invite poster paper submissions describing late-breaking results, preliminary findings, or work-in-progress related to the topics of interest of the conference. The poster session is designed to foster in-depth technical discussions and is particularly suitable for obtaining feedback on ongoing research activities or early-stage ideas.<\/p>\n

As a premier venue for researchers and practitioners working on blockchain technologies, BRAINS 2026 offers a unique setting to present systems and applications, interact with a knowledgeable audience, and discuss recent advances and open challenges in the area. Demo and poster submissions are encouraged in connection with any of the research topics outlined in the BRAINS 2026 Call for Papers, including (but not limited to):<\/p>\n

Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies
\nConsensus protocols, scalability, performance, and security
\nDecentralized applications, smart contracts, and programmable ledgers
\nBlockchain-based systems, services, and real-world use cases<\/p>\n

Submission Guidelines for Demos and Posters<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Prospective contributors should submit proposals in the form of either a 3-page paper for demos or a 2-page paper for posters, following the IEEE conference double-column format and structured as follows:<\/p>\n

– Title (starting with \u201cDemo:\u201d or \u201cPoster:\u201d), authors, and affiliations
\n– Abstract (maximum 100 words)
\n– Introduction: Motivate the contribution and its relevance for the BRAINS community \u00a0System or Tool
\n– Description: Describe the main features of the system, tool, or prototype, highlighting technical innovations
\nMaturity and Evaluation: Provide information on the maturity of the work, including case studies, experimental results, scalability aspects, or references to existing deployments
\n– Additional Materials: Authors are encouraged to provide a short video (up to 5 minutes) and a link to a project webpage or online repository<\/p>\n

All demo and poster papers will be peer reviewed. Accepted contributions will be included in theBRAINS 2026 proceedings.<\/p>\n

Demo and poster proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file, not exceeding 3 pages, including references and figures. Submissions must be made via EDAS using the URL provided on the conference website. Only PDF submissions will be considered.<\/p>\n

Accepted demo and poster papers will be presented through a physical demonstration during the conference. Demos may be accompanied by a poster presentation.<\/p>\n

Posters must be prepared in A0 size (841 \u00d7 1189 mm) or ANSI E size (34.0 \u00d7 44.0 in) and should present the work in a clear and visually engaging way.<\/p>\n

At least one author of each accepted demo or poster must register for BRAINS 2026 at the full conference rate and present the contribution during the scheduled session.<\/p>\n
