International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): Last Call for Workshop Papers
by Announce 16 Jun '26

16 Jun '26

*** Last Call for Workshop Papers *** International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026) 29 September - 2 October 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina Limassol, Cyprus https://conf.researchr.org/home/variability-2026 VARIABILITY is a new conference that has been formed by the merger of three prominent conferences focussing on software and systems variability, configuration and reuse: SPLC (the International Systems and Software Product Line Conference, 29 successful editions, ranked as a top conference), VaMoS (the International Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems, 19 successful editions), and ICSR (the International Conference on Systems and Software Reuse, 22 successful editions). This is the last call for papers for the two workshops to be collocated with VARIABILITY 2026. VARIABILITY workshop papers will be published in a volume of the conference proceedings published by Springer in LNCS. Tenth International Workshop on Languages for Modelling Variability (MODEVAR 2026) https://modevar.github.io/ Feature models were invented in 1990 and have been recognized as one of the main contributions to the Software Product Line community. Although several attempts have been made to establish and study a sort of standard variability modeling language (e.g., OVM, CVL, TVL, .) there is still no consensus on a simple feature modeling language. There can be many motivations to have one but among others, there is one that is very important: information sharing among researchers, tools, or developers. Following the spirit of the previous MODEVAR workshops, this meeting plans to be a full-day, interactive event where all participants shall share knowledge about how to build up a simple feature model language that the community can agree on. First International Workshop on Generative AI and Variability (GAIV 2026) https://sites.google.com/view/gaiv-2026 The Workshop on Generative AI and Variability (GAIV 2026) invites high-quality contributions from researchers and practitioners in software engineering, artificial intelligence, and related disciplines, focusing on the intersection of generative AI (GenAI) and variability-intensive systems. As configurable systems and GenAI technologies rapidly evolve, their interaction raises new opportunities and challenges: GenAI can automate variability engineering tasks, while variability introduces complexity in AI pipelines, prompts, and generated artifacts. GAIV provides a dedicated forum to explore this emerging research space and foster collaboration between the variability and AI-in-SE communities. Important Dates (AoE) • Workshop Papers Submission: 30 June 2026 • Workshop Papers Notification: 15 July, 2026 • Camera-Ready Version Submission: 31 July, 2026 • Author Registration: 31 July, 2026 Organisation General Chairs • George A.

The Phase 1 evaluation focused on the improvised explosive bombing scenario with nine complex events and two surprise complex events in the mass shooting scenario. Source data for each complex event consisted of 10-15 documents that included multimodal English and Spanish event-relevant and off-topic distractor documents. Manual annotation and assessment of event-relevant documents for 10 complex events are included in this release. Scenario-relevant events and relations were labeled for each document to develop a structured representation of temporally-ordered events, relations, and arguments that expressed the scenario-relevant events in each complex event. A reference knowledge graph (Graph G) was developed for each event; systems were expected to match the Graph G with a given schema library. Assessment data includes human assessment judgments and the system output that was manually assessed for the end-to-end evaluation task. The DARPA KAIROS (Knowledge-directed Artificial Intelligence Reasoning Over Schemas) program aimed to build technology capable of understanding and reasoning about complex real-world events in order to provide actionable insights to end users. KAIROS systems utilized formal event representations in the form of schema libraries that specified the steps, preconditions, and constraints for an open set of complex events; schemas were then used in combination with event extraction to characterize and make predictions about real-world events in a large multilingual, multimedia corpus. 2026 members can access this corpus through their LDC accounts. Non-members may license this data for a fee. * Multi-Language Conversational Telephone Speech 2014 - Spanish & Portuguese<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2026S07> was developed by LDC and is comprised of 123 hours of Spanish and Portuguese telephone speech. The data was collected to support research and technology evaluation in automatic language identification; portions of these recordings were used in the NIST 2015 and 2017 language recognition evaluations<https://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/mltg/language-recognition>. The collection focused on language pair discrimination for 20 languages/dialects, some of which could be considered mutually intelligible or closely related. This corpus contains 569 recordings covering Brazilian Portuguese, Caribbean Spanish, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Participants were recruited by native speakers who contacted acquaintances in their social network. Those native speakers made one call, up to 8 minutes, to each acquaintance. Human auditors labeled the calls for language, quality, callee gender, dialect type, and noise. 2026 members can access this corpus through their LDC accounts. Non-members may license this data for a fee. * LORELEI Multiway Translated Text<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2026T06> consists of a fixed set of English texts (around 100,000 words) translated into 24 languages. It was developed by LDC for the DARPA LORELEI Program; the translations were included in the LORELEI representative language packs created by LDC in 2016-2019. The common word set was composed of English news documents (50%), LORELEI-domain English news documents (25%), and a phrasebook and elicitation corpus (25%). The phrasebook contained everyday colloquial phrases. The elicitation corpus was designed to represent linguistic structures. Texts were translated by a combination of professional translators and crowd-sourced translators. The LORELEI (Low Resource Languages for Emergent Incidents) program was concerned with building human language technology for low resource languages in the context of emergent situations like natural disasters or disease outbreaks. Linguistic resources for LORELEI include Representative Language Packs and Incident Language Packs for over two dozen low resource languages, comprising data, annotations, basic natural language processing tools, lexicons, and grammatical resources. Representative languages were selected to provide broad typological coverage, while incident languages were selected to evaluate system performance on a language whose identity was disclosed at the start of the evaluation. 2026 members can access this corpus through their LDC accounts.
