NLP4CALL 2026: second call for papers
by Arianna Masciolini 13 Jul '26

13 Jul '26

November 19-20, 2026. Gothenburg, Sweden and online ________________________________________________________________________________ https://spraakbanken.gu.se/forskning/teman/icall/nlp4call-workshop-series/n… We are happy to announce the 15th edition of the NLP4CALL workshop on Natural Language Processing for Computer-Assisted Language Learning. This year, NLP4CALL will be a two-day hybrid event that will take place on November 19-20, 2026. Onsite participation will be possible at the Humanisten building of the University of Gothenburg (Renströmsgatan 6, Göteborg, Sweden) and a link for remote participation will be shared closer to the workshop dates. Both onsite and online participation are free of charge. Workshop description ________________________________________________________________________________ The workshop series on Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Computer-Assisted Language Learning (NLP4CALL) is a meeting place for researchers working on integrating Natural Language Processing and Speech Technologies in CALL systems and exploring the theoretical and methodological issues arising from this connection. The latter includes, among others, the integration of insights from Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research, and the promotion of “Computational SLA” through setting up Second Language research infrastructures. The intersection of Natural Language Processing (or Language Technology / Computational Linguistics) and Speech Technology with Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) brings “understanding” of language to CALL tools, thus making CALL intelligent. This fact has given the name for this area of research — Intelligent CALL, or short, ICALL. As the definition suggests, apart from having excellent knowledge of Natural Language Processing and/or Speech Technology, ICALL researchers need good insights into SLA theories and practices, as well as knowledge of second language pedagogy and didactics. This workshop therefore invites a wide range of ICALL-relevant research, including studies where NLP-enriched tools are used for testing SLA and pedagogical theories, and vice versa, where SLA theories, pedagogical practices or empirical data are modeled in ICALL tools. The NLP4CALL workshop series is aimed at bringing together competences from these areas for sharing experiences and brainstorming around the future of the field. We welcome papers: - that describe research directly aimed at ICALL; - that describe the ongoing development of resources and tools with potential use in ICALL, either directly in interactive applications, or indirectly in materials, application, or curriculum development, e.g. learning material generation, assessment of learner texts and responses, individualized learning solutions, provision of feedback; - that discuss challenges and/or research agenda for ICALL; - that describe empirical studies on language learner data. This year, the workshop has a special focus on process-oriented approaches to educational NLP, including but not limited to work related to the collection and analysis of keystroke data from langauge learners. Submission information ________________________________________________________________________________ Submissions should describe original unpublished complete or in-progress work and will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the program committee in a double-blind fashion. All accepted papers will be collected into a proceedings volume to be published both in the NEALT Proceeding Series and through the ACL anthology. We accept short, long and demo papers, all of which have to adhere to the following page limits: - short and demo papers: between 4 and 7 pages - long papers: between 8 and 12 pages. Also note that: - references and appendices do not count towards these page limits - the main body of the paper has to be self-contained, as reviewers are not required to read any appendices - camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be allowed an additional page to address reviewer comments. Papers should be submitted as PDFs through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nlp4call2026). LaTeX and Word templates are available at https://github.com/NLP4CALL/current/blob/website/_includes/other_info/submi…. Important dates ________________________________________________________________________________ - paper submission deadline: September 24, 2026 - notification of acceptance: October 15, 2026 - camera-ready deadline: October 29, 2026 - workshop: November 19-20, 2026 All deadlines are AoE. Invited speakers ________________________________________________________________________________ Andrea Horbach Bio: Andrea Horbach has been professor for Educational NLP at Kiel University and the Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (IPN) since 2024. Her research interests include free-text scoring, argument mining, automated feedback, and the use of process data for assessment. She is particularly interested in developing explainable and fair methods that support human agency in writing and assessment processes. Dr. Rianne Conijn Bio: Rianne Conijn is an assistant professor in learning analytics in the Human-Technology Interaction group at Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. Her research focuses on developing methods to capture and model learning behavior (e.g., self-regulated learning) and writing behavior (e.g., revision processes), using fine-grained behavioral data, such as keystroke and clickstream data. In addition, she uses these methods to examine how educational technologies, such as generative AI, affect the learning process. Rianne recently received a NWO Veni grant on “Human-Centered AI in education” where she aims to improve human-AI collaboration in writing in higher education.

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.
