General Information

The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic
research community. It aims to bring together researchers from academia
and industry that work in this field or in related fields.
DL 2026 will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, co-located with KR 2026, the
23rd International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation
and Reasoning as part of FLOC 2026, the Federated Logic Conference.


Scope of the Workshop

We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics,
including, but not limited to:
 - Foundations of description logics
 - Extensions of description logics
 - Integration of description logics with other formalisms
 - Applications of description logics
 - Systems and tools of all kinds around description logics
Please check https://dl-2026.github.io/call/ for details.

Submissions

Traditionally, the DL review process follows a single-blind model,
where reviewers can see the authors names. Therefore, for standard
submissions, please include author names in your submitted files.
However, if you have a specific reason to remain anonymous, you may opt
for the anonymous (i.e., double-blind) submission option instead. The
new submission platform HotCRP supports both options, allowing authors
to select their preferred review model during the submission process.

Submission Categories
We welcome submissions that fall within the workshops scope in
either of the following formats:
 1. Regular Papers  up to 11 pages (excluding references).
 2. Extended Abstracts  24 pages  (excluding references).

Both regular papers and the extended abstracts must be formatted using
the CEURART style based on the DL-specific template available at:
https://dl-2026.github.io/submissions/

Submissions should be made through the DL 2026 submission portal:
https://submissions.floc26.org/dl/

Regular Papers
 - Must provide substantial contributions that can be cited in other
   publications.
 - Should not have been previously published or be under submission
   elsewhere.
 - May include an appendix with additional proofs, evaluation data, or
   other relevant content.

Extended Abstracts
 - Should ideally include an appendix with additional proofs,
evaluation data, or an extended version of the paper.
 - If the abstract is based on a paper accepted or under review at
another venue, the authors must clearly state the venue and the papers
status.
 - The appendix is optional and will be reviewed at the discretion of
the reviewers, but it will not be included in the proceedings. It does
not need to follow the CEURART format.

Presentation Selection
 Accepted submissions (both regular papers and extended abstracts)
 will be considered for oral or poster presentations at the workshop.
 The selection will be based solely on content quality, not on the
 type of submission.
