37th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2026): Last Combo Call for Workshop Papers
by Announce 10 Jul '26

10 Jul '26

*** Last Combo Call for Workshop Papers *** 37th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2026) October 20-23, 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/issre2026/ Workshops at ISSRE provide additional opportunities for collaborating and exchanging information, for both practitioners from industry and academic researchers. The workshops aim at discussing recent developments and open challenges in engineering high-assurance software and systems, and they are open to exchange of ideas at an early stage before maturation. All accepted workshop papers will be published by IEEE in the ISSRE 2026 accompanying proceedings volume. The following workshops are confirmed and will be organized co-located with ISSRE 2026. 3rd International Workshop on Advanced Intelligent Software Quality (AISQ 2026) https://sites.google.com/view/aisq-2026/home In the era of Industry 4.0, advanced intelligent software systems, such as cyber-physical systems (CPS), machine learning-based systems, manufacturing systems, digital twin systems, quantum software applications, multi-agent systems, real-time systems, and LLM-based systems, are playing an increasingly important role in both the industrial world and our daily lives. Failures or requirement violations in these systems may lead to disruptive consequences or even catastrophic outcomes. Nowadays, extensive research, spanning both formal methods and engineering practices, has been conducted to improve the quality of advanced intelligent software from various aspects, such as usability, correctness, reliability, scalability, and robustness. New research topics and directions, such as prompt engineering and harness engineering, are constantly emerging. Our AISQ aims to bridge the gap between the increasing complexity of modern systems and the scalability of quality assurance approaches and fundamental theories. Specifically, AISQ seeks to collect promising and high-quality research achievements and provide an international venue to discuss advanced discoveries and emerging trends related to the quality of Advanced Intelligent Software in both academia and industry. 3rd International Workshop on Human Factors for Software Dependability (HFSD 2026) https://hfsdworkshop.github.io/ Software is created by humans and widely used by humans, with the ultimate goal of benefiting society. HFSD is a specialized workshop that brings together researchers from multiple disciplines to address the human factors that shape the reliability, safety, security, and availability of software systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, human error, human–AI collaborative programming, social factors in security risks, and human-in-the-loop approaches for trustworthy autonomous systems. 1st International Workshop on Quality Assurance of Conversational Agentic Systems (QA4AGENTS) https://qa4agents.github.io/ The QA4Agents workshop focuses on quality assurance techniques, methodologies, and tools for conversational agentic systems, namely systems capable of interacting with users and external services through natural language. As these systems become increasingly autonomous and deeply integrated into complex software ecosystems, ensuring their reliability, robustness, safety, and correctness represents a critical challenge. The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from the fields of software engineering, software testing, artificial intelligence, and runtime verification to discuss emerging approaches for the evaluation, testing, monitoring, benchmarking, and validation of conversational agentic systems. 4th IEEE International Workshop on Reliable and Secure AI for Software Engineering (ReSAISE 2026) https://resaise.github.io/2026/ Artificial Intelligence is now deeply embedded in software engineering workflows, from code generation and program repair to vulnerability detection, test generation, maintenance, and developer support. Large Language Models and agentic AI systems make these workflows more powerful, but they also introduce dependability questions that software engineering research cannot treat as an afterthought. ReSAISE’26 brings together researchers and practitioners from the AI and Software Engineering communities to discuss how AI-based solutions for software engineering can be made reliable, secure, trustworthy, and useful in real development settings. The workshop continues the ReSAISE focus on reliability and security while reflecting the growing role of LLMs, AI coding assistants, and multi-agent software engineering systems. We welcome contributions that study the development, deployment, evaluation, and operation of reliable and secure AI for software engineering, including methods, empirical studies, tools, benchmarks, experience reports, and lessons learned from negative or unexpected results. 18th International Workshop on Software Aging and Rejuvenation (WoSAR 2026) https://www.wosar.net/ WoSAR is the premier international venue for discussing the recent advances and discoveries in theoretical and practical aspects of software aging and rejuvenation research. Software aging is the progressive degradation of performance and dependability in computer programs, especially those executing for a long period of time. This phenomenon has been extensively studied for more than 20 years, as it affects many systems, from embedded devices to server software to critical systems. Software rejuvenation, i.e., proactive restart of application (components/threads/tasks), reboot of VMs or machines, and failover to a replica are the most prominent approaches to combat software aging. A variety of rejuvenation techniques, scheduling plans, scope and granularity, have been proposed for different application types and platforms.

Following requests, we are giving authors two extra weeks to submit their papers. If you have work in progress at the intersection of NLP and AI, this is your window. Now in its ninth edition, NL4AI brings together researchers working where Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing meet the broader field of Artificial Intelligence. The most interesting problems often live at that boundary: AI systems become more capable when they understand language deeply, and NLP methods gain new meaning when tested in wider AI settings. NL4AI is meant to be a moment for the Italian NLP community to come together. Co-located with AIxIA 2026 and supported by AILC, the workshop is a friendly, discussion-oriented venue to meet colleagues, present finished results, ongoing work, and early ideas, and to get feedback across both sides of the NLP–AI boundary. We warmly invite contributions from labs and researchers in Italy and beyond. We especially welcome contributions that connect language to reasoning, interaction, multimodality, and real-world applications, as well as critical work on evaluation, interpretability, and the societal impact of language technologies. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings via CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Depending on the number and quality of papers received, we will consider proposing a special issue in relevant journals. The Program Committee will select the Best Workshop Paper from the accepted papers. SUBMISSIONS We encourage original submissions that describe new theoretical models, applied techniques, and research in progress. Substantial extensions to works already published or presented in other locations are welcome as well. We invite two kinds of submissions: - Short/Demo Paper. Maximum length of 6 pages + up to 2 pages of Acknowledgements/Declaration on Generative AI/References - Regular Papers. Maximum length of 12 pages + up to 2 pages of references Acknowledgements/Declaration on Generative AI/References Please note that papers with less than 25000 characters will be considered short papers in the CEUR proceedings. Submissions Evaluation. Submissions will be peer-reviewed (single-blind) by the program committee members. Evaluation criteria will include novelty, significance for theory/practice, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Note that reviewers will not be required to evaluate appendices providing a review of the papers. Appendices are intended for including details for reproducibility and/or additional results. How to Submit. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication and all papers must follow the 2022 CEUR-ART - 1 Column paper style. The LaTeX template can be downloaded as source file from the NL4AI website <http://sag.art.uniroma2.it/NL4AI/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CEURART-NL4AI-2…> or accessed as a Template in Overleaf <https://it.overleaf.com/read/cfvwgnqpvpys#a7a014>. All the papers should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nl4ai2026 Note: All submissions must be compatible with CEUR (https://ceur-ws.org/) and include the CEUR Declaration on Generative AI section ( https://ceur-ws.org/GenAI/Policy.html).

Special Issues of Digital Comparative Literature (Call for Expressions of Interest)
by Pianzola, Federico 08 Jul '26

08 Jul '26

We are seeking articles for a number of special issues within the framework of the International Comparative Literature Association (ICLA) Short-term Research Committee on Digital Comparative Literature (DCL) Comparative Literary Studies and Digital Humanities pose a double, mutually enriching challenge to one another. Distant reading and large-scale digitization have opened new perspectives on literature, yet comparative work remains among the hardest terrains for digital research, not least because of multilingualism and intermediality, since computational tools and corpora are still overwhelmingly English-centric and text-focused. This collection invites contributions that work at this intersection and that speak to a readership of comparative literature scholars. We welcome proposals addressing any aspect of digital comparative literature, including but not limited to: computational and distant reading methods and their epistemological stakes; the construction, use, and politics of large digital archives; books and reading in a postdigital context (multimodality, digital social reading); data visualization for literary analysis (network analysis, mapping); electronic literature, interactive digital narrative, digital storytelling; and machine translation, language models, and artificial intelligence (AI) for literary analysis. Theoretical reflections, methodological proposals, and concrete case studies are all welcome, provided they are framed for and accessible to comparative literature scholars. We have confirmed interest from a few comparative literature journals for the publication of special issues.
