    aid the program committee in the review of their submissions.
  * The conference uses the EG submission tool. All submissions should
    be made through the online submission system SRMv2
    <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/ICAT-EGVE_2026>.
  * Submissions should be original, unpublished work and should not be
    in submission to other venues concurrently. Any dual submission will
    be rejected outright without review.

    followed: https://eg25.cs.ucl.ac.uk/main/arxiv-policy.html
  * We accept submitting optional supplemental material whose size is
    under 700MB (following the double-blind review process).
  * All the details about submission and the submission system link will
    be available in the ICAT-EGVE website: https://icat-egve2026.inf.ufg.br/

*Submission of Posters and Demos*
