Abstract rules
3,000 characters with spaces, counting the body. These are the 2026 rules; the 2027 ones are not published yet.
There is not a specific maximum of words, but rather a maximum total size of the abstracts (shown as 100 %), including the text with spaces. The maximum abstract size is 35 lines (3 000 characters). Use the save and refresh button at the bottom in order to display the size of the abstract in percentage (shown on the left of the screen). The system converts the size in % when you save it as a draft. The character limit does not include the title and the authors. Only the abstract text and spaces are taken into account.

How meetings like this are judged
Outside computer science, conferences are rarely ranked: the abstract is usually not the publication, and a meeting's standing comes from the society that runs it and who attends. What counts in evaluations is the journal the full paper appears in; see how venues are ranked.
