Abstract Submissions

Instructions:

Presenters who have been invited to give a presentation at DATAWorks 2026 should submit abstracts that highlight or apply one of the workshop themes regarding defense and aerospace for the 2026 workshop. Presenting provides an opportunity to network and engage with the defense, aerospace, academic community, and industry practitioners. The planning team will review your abstract for acceptance and appropriate placement in the program. Submission types include:

• Mini-Tutorial: A mini-tutorial is 90 minutes or 2 hours in length and typically involves case studies and/or applications of analysis and tools under a specific theme.
• Presentation: A presentation will take place during a 30-minute session but should be limited to no more than 25 minutes to allow sufficient time for questions. Presenters will be grouped into a Breakout Session, consisting of 3 to 4 presentations, organized by the Co-Chair Committee.
• Poster Presentation: A print poster or e-poster presentation during the poster session.
• Speed Presentation: A “hybrid” of a presentation and poster; a speed session consists of a short presentation of less than 10 minutes and is followed by a poster session later the same day. *Session type applicable to current students and fellows only*
• Working Session: Informal talks up to the CUI level that incorporate a discussion period at the end. *Session type is applicable for April 23 only*
