Dear colleagues,
The deadlines for UniAgent have been extended: registration is open until October 3. UniAgent is the 1st Shared Task on Agentic AI in University Administration, held at CIKM 2026 in Rome.
UniAgent works toward a digital twin of a university. We prepare its administrative tasks, rules, and documents so that agents can work on them, and we evaluate these agents. A university suits this goal: its processes are standardized, its rules are written down, and its experts are close at hand.
THE TASK
An agent receives a real, anonymized case from the University of Kassel, in business travel, privately advanced costs, or procurement. The agent retrieves the regulations that apply, plans the required steps, and produces a solution that an administrator would accept, for example a compliant travel request.
Not every case can be approved as submitted. Agents must recognize such cases and give a reason.

ComputEL-10: Tenth Workshop on the Use of Computational Methods in the
Study of Endangered Languages
Second CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop dates: March 2-3, 2027
Place: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA (hybrid)
Submission deadline: October 2, 2026
Submission link: https://softconf.com/p/ComputEL2027
ComputEL-10 will be co-located with the 10th International Conference on
Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC 10) in Honolulu, Hawaii.
ComputEL-10 and ICDLC 10 do **not** have joint registration. If you wish
to attend ICDLC 10, visit their website:
https://ling.lll.hawaii.edu/sites/icldc/.
ComputEL-10 explores the interface and intersection of computational
linguistics, documentary linguistics, and community-based efforts in
language revitalization and reclamation. We encourage submissions that
present their work from an interdisciplinary perspective with a focus on
one of three areas:
(i) Academic: develop new methods or technologies for tasks or
applications focused on low-resource, and in particular, endangered
languages; propose models in the study or processing of under-documented
languages; or evaluate tools or methods for curation and analysis of
data in such languages, oriented towards language documentation,
description, reclamation and revitalization;
(ii) Community: develop new technology toward the goals of language
reclamation, revitalization, including language teaching and
acquisition; propose new models for the collection, management, and
mobilization of language data in community settings, with attention to
issues of data sovereignty and community protocols and involvement;
describes new uses of language technology by the language's community;
(iii) Collaboration: describe challenges and rewards in past or on-going
collaboration and interaction among computer scientists and/or
documentary linguists that involve(d) language communities; formulate
concrete steps for a more fruitful interaction among computer
scientists, documentary linguists, and language communities.
Note: priority will be given to descriptions of actual collaborations
(successful or unsuccessful) over proposals or position papers. (For an
example, see Cox et al. 2025:
https://aclanthology.org/2025.computel-main.12/)
IMPORTANT DATES
2 October, 2026 Deadline for submission of papers
13 November 2026 Notification of Acceptance
2-3 March 2027 Workshop
SUBMISSIONS
We offer two types of submissions: abstracts and papers. Please
carefully read the requirements below. Submissions that do not fulfill
all relevant requirements will be desk-rejected. The type of submission
does not influence the likelihood of acceptance.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS
All submissions must be anonymous. Both submission types have the same
deadline.
Authors may submit no more than two submissions where they are
co-author. In no case may an author submit more than one individually-
or first-authored submission. Authors must submit and present in
English. Proposals will undergo blind review, so please do not list your
name, affiliation, or contact information within the file. (Author names
appearing in reference lists or citations are fine and do not need to be
anonymized.)
ABSTRACTS
Abstracts clearly describe the content that author intends to present to
the ComputEL-10 audience. Abstracts are max. 800 words not including
title or references. Abstracts will NOT be published (in the Proceedings
of the workshop in ACL Anthology). Abstracts are intended for academics
not accustomed to publishing in proceedings or non-academic community
members wishing to share with and receive feedback from the other
communities. Upload your abstract as a PDF or MS Word file.
PAPERS
Paper submissions can be of two lengths: short (up to 4 pages) or long
(up to 8 pages) paper. The length of submission does not influence the
likelihood of acceptance. Both paper types must include a section on
ethical consideration and a section on limitations; these sections are
not considered part of the page limit. Papers must follow the style and
formatting guidelines provided in by ACL Style Files (download template
files for LaTeX: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files).
Submissions that violate anonymity, exceed the length requirements, or
are missing an ethics or a limitations section will be desk rejected.
ACL has discontinued making available a submission template for
Microsoft Word. Therefore, we strongly recommend using the above LaTeX
template with Overleaf, which enables WYSIWYG editing. Nevertheless, we
do allow the use of the older ACL Microsoft Word template:
https://2023.aclweb.org/calls/style_and_formatting/. While we intend to
help accepted authors convert their paper into a format acceptable for
ACL Anthology, we may not be able to resolve all potential
discrepancies. Therefore, using the MS Word template may run the risk of
not being accepted for publication. If you wish assistance with LaTeX,
please email soon.
A. Short Paper:
Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work.
They are max. 4 pages excluding references and sections on ethical
consideration and limitations. A short paper is not a shortened long
paper. Instead, short papers have a small, focused contribution or
describe work in progress (“working paper”). Recommended topics for
short papers include pilot studies, negative results, opinion pieces,
interesting application nuggets, or descriptions of initial
collaborative teamwork.
B. Long Paper:
Long papers must describe substantial, original, completed and
unpublished work. Long papers are max. 8 pages excluding references and
appendices and sections on ethical consideration and limitations.
Wherever appropriate, concrete qualitative and quantitative evaluation
and analysis should be included. Naturally, the evaluation of a
collaborative process may take a different form in comparison to that of
a language-technological app or tool.
SUPPORT FOR PARTICIPATION
We may be able to provide some support for the participation of
individuals without institutional support. Authors will be provided
information on how to submit an application for such support after they
have submitted an abstract or paper to the workshop.
PROCEEDINGS
The Organizing Committee will select from the papers (excluding all
abstracts) that have been accepted for presentation at the workshop for
online publication via the open-access ACL Anthology. Not all accepted
papers for presentation are guaranteed inclusion in the publication.
Long and short papers that are accepted for publication will be allotted
one additional page (altogether 5 and 9 pages) excluding references and
ethics and limitations sections. Papers accepted for inclusion in the
Anthology must be revised versions of the work that underwent
ComputEL-10 review. Revisions and improvements should address reviewer
comments or add relevant details and clarifications, but should not
include entirely new, unreviewed content.

The 39th International Conference on Software Engineering Education and
Training (CSEE&T 2027)
July 8-9, 2027, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://cyprusconferences.org/csee-t2027/
In a world increasingly driven by software, the role of a software engineer has never been
more important. From the smartphones in our hands to the most intricate space
exploration missions, software systems are at the very heart of everything. Yet, as these
systems continue to evolve in size, complexity, and importance, the education and
training methods to prepare the next generation of software engineers must be equally
adaptive and forward-looking. Over the past three decades, Software Engineering
Education and Training (SEE&T) has continually risen to these evolving challenges. Initially,
the focus was on defining the role of software engineers and how SEE&T integrates into
broader engineering and computer science curricula. The current landscape, however, is
shifting the focus towards enhanced knowledge transfer, emphasizing experiential
learning, and aligning academic teaching with real-world industrial demands. The
importance of effective communication, whether with clients or peers, the rising trend of
project-based and problem-driven learning methodologies, and the symbiotic relationship
between academia and industry form the very essence of modern SEE&T.
This is the mission of the Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training
(CSEE&T). As the world’s foremost conference on the topic, it has created a highly
interactive community of academics and industry professionals. The aim of the conference
is to solicit, review, and publish original high-quality research, tutorial, and survey articles
in the area of Software Engineering Education at the K-12, undergraduate, graduate, and
postgraduate levels, as well as Software Engineering Training in industrial or post-
academic settings. In its 39th year, the conference has established itself as the genesis for
modern Software Engineering Education.
We welcome you to the 39th CSEE&T in Limassol, Cyprus, from July 8-9, 2027.

The XSci Open Review Competition 2026 is open until 30 November.
Up to 100 preprints get a free review from an independent human expert in the field, who we pay $200 to answer the question every author wants answered: does this paper have the potential to be published in the journal or conference I am aiming at? If the answer is yes, the paper becomes an XSci Peer-Certified Preprint, and with the expert's report made public, the submitting author receives the $500 XSci Open Review Award 2026.
Papers already published in journals or in conference proceedings are not eligible; papers posted as preprints are. If your paper is under review, please check the venue's policies on dual submission and double-blind reviewing before entering, bearing in mind that the expert sees the authors' names and that the report is published by default.
You keep all rights and can submit the paper anywhere, at any time. You see the expert's report 48 hours before anyone else and can take it down free of charge.
Up to 60 places go to strong entries as they arrive, so earlier is better.
Rules and entry:
