ecai-workflow
GitHub用于规划ECAI会议论文投稿全流程。基于截稿日期倒推,涵盖选题、写作、提交及审稿后阶段(如反驳和相机就绪)。区分独立ECAI与IJCAI-ECAI联合模式,提供具体时间节点和操作指引。

ECAI Workflow
Plan the ECAI year backward from the paper deadline, because ECAI is a single-round process with a two-deadline front (abstract, then paper) and no revision round to catch a gap later. First fix which regime the edition is in — it changes the calendar owner, the template, and whether PAIS is available:
- Standalone ECAI (e.g. 2024): EurAI + a host society; FAIA/
ecai.cls; PAIS co-located. - IJCAI-ECAI 2026: joint with IJCAI in Bremen (15-21 Aug 2026); IJCAI process/template/proceedings.
The IJCAI-ECAI 2026 calendar (verify on the live page)
Abstract deadline .............. 12 January 2026 (AoE) <- title/abstract/authors/topics locked
Full paper deadline ............ 19 January 2026 (AoE) <- anonymized PDF + supplement
Summary-reject notification .... 4 March 2026 <- early filter; below-bar/out-of-scope out
Author response (rebuttal) ..... 7-10 April 2026 <- one short window, factual corrections
Final notification ............. 29 April 2026 <- accept / reject (no revision round)
Camera-ready ................... (per author kit) <- de-anonymize, open-access production
Conference ..................... 15-21 August 2026, Bremen
For a standalone ECAI the shape is the same (registration ~1 week before the PDF; double-blind review with a rebuttal; open-access FAIA proceedings) but the dates and organizer differ — read the current call.
Backward plan from the paper deadline
- Deadline − 12 weeks: decide ECAI vs IJCAI/AAAI and main track vs PAIS
(
ecai-topic-selection). Routing before writing is the highest-leverage move, because the 7-page budget and the venue's breadth shape the paper. - − 10 weeks: lock the contribution and the evidence type (proof vs experiment) per claim
shape (
ecai-experiments); name threats/assumptions now — you cannot add them in a later round. - − 8 weeks: draft the body to the first-page arc and the 7-page budget
(
ecai-writing-style); start the anonymized supplement (ecai-reproducibility). - − 4 weeks: finish full proofs / complete experiments with seeds and spread; write delta-first
related work (
ecai-related-work). - − 2 weeks: internal review; run the double-blind sweep and the body/supplement split
(
ecai-supplementary). - Abstract deadline: register title/abstract/authors/topics with the real text.
- Paper deadline: run
ecai-submissionend to end on the final PDF, supplement, template, and per-author cap.
After submission
- Summary-reject phase: nothing to do but ensure you did not invite it — scope, formatting, anonymity, and page budget must have been correct at upload.
- Rebuttal window:
ecai-author-response— one short, precise, double-blind reply; fix factual misreadings and supply asked-for numbers; promise only minor camera-ready edits. - Notification:
- Accept →
ecai-camera-ready(de-anonymize, correct template/publisher regime, open-access forms, DOI/citation, register to present) and make the supplement a permanent open release (ecai-artifact-evaluation). - Reject → revise substantively and reroute (AAAI/IJCAI/specialist venue) or aim at the next
ECAI; there is no appeal that reopens the decision (
ecai-review-process).
- Accept →
Parallel tracks to run early
- Reproducibility is not a last-minute task. Seeds, cached outputs, and full proofs must be
produced as you do the work; they cannot be retrofitted at the deadline (
ecai-reproducibility). - PAIS decision is a fork, not an afterthought. A deployed-application paper aimed at PAIS leads with real-world impact and has its own call — decide before the abstract deadline.
- Per-author submission cap (IJCAI-ECAI 2026: 8) — coordinate across your group early so you do not have to withdraw a paper at the deadline.
Milestone checklist
[ ] Regime fixed: standalone ECAI (FAIA/PAIS) or joint IJCAI-ECAI (IJCAI)
[ ] Track chosen: main track vs PAIS
[ ] Evidence type set per claim (proof vs experiment); threats/assumptions named
[ ] Body drafted to 7-page arc; supplement started and anonymized
[ ] Abstract registered by the earlier deadline
[ ] Double-blind sweep + body/supplement split done before paper upload
[ ] Rebuttal plan ready for the response window
[ ] Camera-ready path (template/publisher/forms/DOI/registration) mapped
Reverify each cycle
Regime (standalone vs joint), all dates and AoE cutoffs, the per-author cap, the ethics/AI policy, and the camera-ready production instructions — none are stable across editions.
