31 Mar '26

Dear all, We are pleased to invite you to participate in the MultiLexNorm 2026 shared task, which will be hosted at EMNLP 2026. Our shared task operates at the word level and focuses on lexical normalization, that is, transforming an utterance into its standard form (e.g., ppl → people) on the word level. It also includes one-to-many (1-to-n) and many-to-one (n-to-1) replacements. Participants will develop systems for lexical normalization across 17 languages. Building on the previous task, which focused on Indo-European languages written in the Latin script, we now focus on languages written in other scripts, and have new benchmarks for Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese.

RetroEval 2026: Symposium on Natural Language Generation Evaluations ============================================ 1-2 June 2026, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom https://retroeval.github.io/ ============================================ Evaluation in the field of Natural Language Generation (NLG) has changed considerably over the past several decades. This special symposium in honour of Prof. Ehud Reiter’s retirement provides a forum for academic and industry researchers to look back on the topic of how evaluations in the field of NLG have changed and to explore unaddressed challenges. The two day symposium will be held in-person at the Sir Duncan Rice Library in the historic University of Aberdeen, June 1-2, 2026. For this symposium, we welcome submissions of long papers, short papers, and extended abstracts. *** Workshop Theme *** Ehud Reiter has been a leading light in Natural Language Generation (NLG) research throughout the four decades he worked in this area, in both academia (Aberdeen) and industry (CoGenTech; Arria NLG). Ehud’s influence extends to all aspects of NLG, but the areas in which it has arguably been the strongest is evaluation of NLG systems. On the occasion of his retirement, this workshop, which is held in his honour, will therefore focus on evaluation of NLG systems, highlighting in particular some of the topics that Ehud has tended to emphasize (see below) such as the importance of reproducibility and the risks of data contamination. *** Topics of Interest *** Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: -- The aims of NLG and NLG evaluation -- Intrinsic versus extrinsic NLG evaluation -- Evaluation of NLG systems in the real world -- Impact assessment of NLG systems and LLMs -- New evaluation challenges arising from the use of LLMs -- Hallucination annotation and its role in NLG evaluation -- Statistical analysis for NLG evaluations -- Data contamination in NLG evaluation -- LLMs as evaluators: opportunities and pitfalls -- The role of LLMs in the development of evaluation metrics -- Reproduction and reproducibility of human evaluation experiments -- Publication bias: What to do with negative results? -- Pre-publication of research hypotheses in NLG evaluation -- NLG evaluation versus psycholinguistic experimentation: what can we learn from each other? -- Disciplinary cultures and evaluation methods -- Evaluating NLG systems/LLMs for assistive technology *** Submission Types *** The workshop accepts the following submission types: • Long Papers (archival) • Short Papers (archival) • Extended Abstracts (non-archival) Accepted contributions will be presented as oral or poster presentations. *** Archival Submissions *** • Long papers: • Up to 8 pages (excluding references) • Unlimited references • Up to 2 appendix pages • 1 additional page in the final version to address reviewer comments • Short papers: • Up to 4 pages (excluding references) • Unlimited references • Up to 1 appendix page • 1 additional page in the final version for reviewer comments *** Non-Archival Submissions *** • Extended abstracts: • Up to 2 pages including references • 1 additional appendix page for tables/figures • Selection based on the symposium fit *** Submission Format *** • Two-column ACL 2026 format • LaTeX template only • PDF submissions only • Submissions via OpenReview *** Important Dates *** Note: All deadlines are 23:59 UTC-12. • ARR commitment deadline (archival): 16 March, 2026 • Direct paper submission deadline (archival): 24 April, 2026 • Direct paper submission deadline (non-archival): 1 May, 2026 • Notification of acceptance: 8 May, 2026 • Camera-ready deadline: 22 May, 2026 • Symposium dates: 1-2 June, 2026 *** Review Policy *** Long and short papers will follow ACL double-blind review policies.

10th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH) @EMNLP: 1st CFP + Mentorship Programme
by Agostina Calabrese 31 Mar '26

31 Mar '26

10th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH) @EMNLP: 1st CFP *** First Call for Papers + Call for Mentors/Mentees *** We invite paper submissions to the 10th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH), which will take place on 24-29 October at EMNLP 2026. Website: https://www.workshopononlineabuse.com/cfp.html Important Dates * Registration deadline for mentorship programme: April 10, 2026 * Notification of mentor/mentee match: April 25, 2026 * Submission due: June 26, 2026 * ARR reviewed submission due: August 3, 2026 * Notification of acceptance: August 15, 2026 * Camera-ready papers due: September 10, 2026 * Workshop: 24-29 October 2026 Overview Digital technologies have brought significant benefits to society, transforming how people connect, communicate, and interact. However, these same technologies have also enabled the widespread dissemination and amplification of abusive and harmful content, such as hate speech, harassment, and misinformation. Given the sheer volume of content shared online, addressing abuse and harm at scale requires the use of computational tools. Yet, detecting and moderating online abuse remains a complex task, fraught with technical, social, legal, and ethical challenges. The 10th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH) invites paper submissions from a diverse range of fields, including but not limited to natural language processing, machine learning, computational social science, law, political science, psychology, sociology, and cultural studies. We explicitly encourage interdisciplinary research, technical and non-technical contributions, and submissions that focus on under-resourced languages. Non-archival papers and civil society reports are also welcome. Topics covered by WOAH include, but are not limited to: * New models or methods for detecting abusive and harmful online content, including misinformation; * Biases and limitations in existing detection models or datasets for abusive and harmful content, especially those in commercial use; * Development of new datasets and taxonomies for online abuse and harms; * Novel evaluation metrics and procedures for detecting harmful content; * Analyses of the dynamics of online abuse, its propagation, and its impact on different communities; * Social, legal, and ethical considerations in detecting, monitoring, and moderating online abuse. Special Theme: “Ten Years of WOAH: Reflecting on Progress and New Frontiers” In its 10th edition, WOAH highlights the theme “Ten Years of WOAH: Reflecting on Progress and New Frontiers”. Over the past decade, WOAH has become a central interdisciplinary venue for online harms research. As harms and enabling technologies have evolved, the field has moved beyond an early focus on textual hate speech and harassment to address more complex phenomena. Advances in AI and online ecosystems have expanded the scale and diversity of harms. Transformer models, multimodal platforms, and recommendation systems have contributed to the escalation of issues like misinformation, radicalisation, child sexual exploitation, identity-based abuse, algorithmic bias, privacy violations, and AI-mediated harms. Methods tackling this have evolved from monolingual lexicon-based approaches to deep learning, multilinguality, multimodality, interpretability, and interdisciplinarity. Despite this progress, fundamental challenges remain. There is limited consensus on what constitutes “harm”, how context and thresholds should be defined, or how harms vary across cultures and modalities. These ambiguities affect datasets and models, constrain comparability, and often marginalise affected communities. The past decade also calls for critical self-reflection. Research has frequently prioritised detection, high-resource languages, and narrowly defined phenomena over intervention, global perspectives, and systemic or structural harms, with insufficient attention to user agency, platform incentives, lived experience, and participatory approaches. Finally, ten years of work have underscored that interdisciplinarity is essential for addressing the sociotechnical nature of the phenomenon. Addressing future online harms will require deeper integration across NLP, ML, social sciences, law, policy, and HCI. WOAH 10 seeks to consolidate lessons from the past decade, identify enduring gaps, and connect research, practice, and policy to guide the next generation of work on online harms. [NEW!] Mentorship Programme In light of our theme of reflecting on the past decade, we as organisers have also taken time for self-reflection. While we emphasise the importance of interdisciplinary work, the increasing number of submissions (which we are extremely proud and happy about!) has required us to apply our submission guidelines more strictly. In recent years, these issues have been particularly relevant for submissions coming from outside the NLP community. This signals that, if we do not take action, we risk failing to promote the very diversity we aim to support. After listening to feedback from the community, we have decided to lower this barrier by launching the first-ever WOAH Mentorship Programme. Link to register as mentor: https://forms.gle/XaK8KBFomaWZZwG98 Link to register as mentee: https://forms.gle/AC5akVcdzsCvwqEo7 As a mentee, you will be able to propose your WOAH project idea and outline the type of guidance or supervision you are seeking. As a mentor, you will be expected to support your mentee by meeting at least three times during the project (at the beginning, midway, and towards the end). We encourage mentees to include their mentors as co-authors of their WOAH submission. Timeline: * Register for the mentorship programme by 10th April * Notification of mentor/mentee match by 25th April Submission Submission is electronic, using the Softconf START conference management system. Submission link: TBA The workshop will accept three types of papers. 1) Academic Papers (long and short): Long papers of up to 8 pages, excluding references, and short papers of up to 4 pages, excluding references.

Final reminder: Second International Conference on Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence for Cyber Security (NLPAICS'2026)
by Amal Haddad 30 Mar '26

30 Mar '26

Second International Conference on Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence for Cyber Security (NLPAICS'2026) University of Alicante, Alicante, Spain 11 and 12 June 2026 https://nlpaics2026.gplsi.es/ [1] Final Reminder *** Extended Submission Deadline 13 April 2026 *** Recent advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning and Large Language Models (LLMs) have resulted in improved performance of applications. In particular, there has been a growing interest in employing AI methods in different Cyber Security applications. In today's digital world, Cyber Security has emerged as a heightened priority for both individual users and organisations. As the volume of online information grows exponentially, traditional security approaches often struggle to identify and prevent evolving security threats. The inadequacy of conventional security frameworks highlights the need for innovative solutions that can effectively navigate the complex digital landscape to ensure robust security. NLP and AI in Cyber Security have vast potential to significantly enhance threat detection and mitigation by fostering the development of advanced security systems for autonomous identification, assessment, and response to security threats in real time. Recognising this challenge and the capabilities of NLP and AI approaches to fortify Cyber Security systems, the Second International Conference on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Cyber Security (NLPAICS'2026) continues the tradition from NLPAICS'2024 to be a gathering place for researchers in NLP and AI methods for Cyber Security. We invite contributions that present the latest NLP and AI solutions for mitigating risks in processing digital information. Conference topics The conference invites submissions on a broad range of topics related to the employment of NLP and AI (and in general, language studies and models) for Cyber Security, including but not limited to: _Societal and Human Security and Safety_ * Content Legitimacy and Quality * Detection and mitigation of hate speech and offensive language * Fake news, deepfakes, misinformation and disinformation * Detection of machine-generated language in multimodal context (text, speech and gesture) * Trust and credibility of online information * User Security and Safety * Cyberbullying and identification of internet offenders * Monitoring extremist fora * Suicide prevention * Clickbait and scam detection * Fake profile detection in online social networks * Technical Measures and Solutions * Social engineering identification, phishing detection * NLP for risk assessment * Controlled languages for safe messages * Prevention of malicious use of ai models * Forensic linguistics * Human Factors in Cyber Security _Speech Technology and Multimodal Investigations for Cyber Security_ * Voice-based security: Analysis of voice recordings or transcripts for security threats * Detection of machine-generated language in multimodal context (text, speech and gesture) * NLP and biometrics in multimodal context _Data and Software Security_ * Cryptography * Digital forensics * Malware detection, obfuscation * Models for documentation * NLP for data privacy and leakage prevention (DLP) * Addressing dataset "poisoning" attacks _Human-Centric Security and Support_ * Natural language understanding for chatbots: NLP-powered chatbots for user support and security incident reporting * User behaviour analysis: analysing user-generated text data (e.g., chat logs and emails) to detect insider threats or unusual behaviour * Human supervision of technology for Cyber Security _Anomaly Detection and Threat Intelligence_ * Text-Based Anomaly Detection * Identification of unusual or suspicious patterns in logs, incident reports or other textual data * Detecting deviations from normal behaviour in system logs or network traffic * Threat Intelligence Analysis * Processing and analysing threat intelligence reports, news, articles and blogs on latest Cyber Security threats * Extracting key information and indicators of compromise (IoCs) from unstructured text _Systems and Infrastructure Security_ * Systems Security * Anti-reverse engineering for protecting privacy and anonymity * Identification and mitigation of side-channel attacks * Authentication and access control * Enterprise-level mitigation * NLP for software vulnerability detection * Malware Detection through Code Analysis * Analysing code and scripts for malware * Detection using NLP to identify patterns indicative of malicious code _Financial Cyber Security_ * Financial fraud detection * Financial risk detection * Algorithmic trading security * Secure online banking * Risk management in finance * Financial text analytics _Ethics, Bias, and Legislation in Cyber Security_ * Ethical and Legal Issues * Digital privacy and identity management * The ethics of NLP and speech technology * Explainability of NLP and speech technology tools * Legislation against malicious use of AI * Regulatory issues * Bias and Security * Bias in Large Language Models (LLMs) * Bias in security related datasets and annotations _Datasets and resources for Cyber Security Applications_ _Specialised Security Applications and Open Topics_ * Intelligence applications * Emerging and innovative applications in Cyber Security _Special Theme Track - Future of Cyber Security in the Era of LLMs and Generative AI_ NLPAICS 2026 will feature a special theme track with the goal of stimulating discussion around Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative AI and ensuring their safety. The latest generation of LLMs, such as CHATGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, LLAMA and open-source alternatives, has showcased remarkable advancements in text and image understanding and generation. However, as we navigate through uncharted territory, it becomes imperative to address the challenges associated with employing these models in everyday tasks, focusing on aspects such as fairness, ethics, and responsibility. The theme track invites studies on how to ensure the safety of LLMs in various tasks and applications and what this means for the future of the field. The possible topics of discussion include (but are not limited to) the following: * Detection of LLM-generated language in multimodal context (text, speech and gesture) * LLMs for forensic linguistics * Bias in LLMs * Safety benchmarks for LLMs * Legislation against malicious use of LLMs * Tools to evaluate safety in LLMs * Methods to enhance the robustness of language models Keynote Speaker We are delighted to announce that Preslav Nakov from Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (Abu Dhabi) (https://mbzuai.ac.ae/study/faculty/preslav-nakov/ [2]) will be keynote speaker at NLPAICS 2026.

Call for Abstracts - 4TH WORKSHOP ON EYE MOVEMENTS AND THE ASSESSMENT OF READING COMPREHENSION
by JProf. Dr. Maja Stegenwallner-Schütz 30 Mar '26

30 Mar '26

Dear Colleagues, I am writing to ask whether you would be willing to distribute the following workshop announcement via your mailing list. Thank you. Kind regards, Maja (Stegenwallner-Schuetz) ------- 4TH WORKSHOP ON EYE MOVEMENTS AND THE ASSESSMENT OF READING COMPREHENSION Dates: June 18-20, 2026 Location: University of Koblenz, Germany Webpage: https://uni-ko.de/UTq3s ## Workshop theme: Effective and widely available reading assessments are fundamental for educational and clinical settings, as they are instrumental for early diagnosis of reading difficulties, enabling timely and targeted intervention. In this workshop, we explore how eye-tracking combined with machine learning technologies can enhance reading assessments. Our goal is to bring together researchers from various relevant fields, including educational science, cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, eye-tracking-based reading research, and machine learning. The workshop will provide a platform for exchanging ideas for the next generation of reading assessments aided by eye-tracking and machine learning technologies, as well as inspiring cross-disciplinary research collaborations. We invite submissions on any topic related to the workshop's theme, including: * Methods and practices of reading assessment in education (including large scale assessments) * Reading instruction and development * Reading impairments and learning difficulties * Machine reading comprehension * AI, NLP and ML modeling of human reading * Predictive modelling of language proficiency and reading processes underlying comprehension * HCI, human factors, and interactive tutoring systems * Eye tracking technologies * Cognitive models of eye movements in reading * Psycholinguistic analyses of reading * Text readability and simplification Since the workshop aims to bring together researchers from different communities and addresses a nascent research area, we also welcome contributions that involve eye movements in reading (or alternative methodologies such as self-paced reading and mouse tracking) without directly addressing the assessment of reading comprehension. Likewise, we invite contributions on reading assessments that do not involve eye-tracking. ## Important dates: * Abstract submission deadline: April 1, 2026 * Acceptance notifications: April 10, 2026 * Application deadline for travel stipends: April 23, 2026 * Registration period ends: May 15, 2026 * Workshop dates: June 18-20, 2026 ## Workshop format: The first two days will feature a structured program, including talks, poster sessions, and group discussions. On the third day, the focus shifts to a more relaxed format, providing participants with the opportunity to network and plan joint activities in an informal setting while enjoying a hike or a boat tour on the rivers. ## Invited speakers (confirmed): Ido Roll Faculty of Education in Science and Technology & Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Israel Sascha Schroeder Institute of Psychology University of Goettingen, Germany ## Submissions: - We invite submissions of short abstracts of up to 350 words. - To submit your abstract, please fill in the abstract submission form at https://forms.gle/Nh7bREP59eyeYQGEA - Submissions will be reviewed by the workshop organizers primarily with an eye to relevance. - We expect to accept 25–35 submissions. ## Venue: The workshop will be held at the family owned Diehls Hotel which was established in 1919 and is beautifully located directly on the banks of the Rhine River. We booked two interconnected conference rooms Ehrenbreitenstein I and II which can accommodate up to 90 participants. Refreshments throughout the workshop will be provided by the hotel. A contingent of hotel rooms has been reserved for workshop participants. The hotel also features a highly recommended restaurant, where we will enjoy our social dinner on Thursday evening. In addition to the conference facilities, attendees will appreciate the hotel’s charming riverside setting. It is in close proximity to historic sites of the city. The city of Koblenz is well connected to the city of Frankfurt via train. The venue is then accessible from Koblenz main station (Koblenz Hbf) by bus (16-25 Min depending on the bus route) or from the old city by taking a scenic ride across the Rhine river in the famous Koblenz Cable Car. Contact information for booking and venue description with photos: https://diehls-hotel.de/en/rooms-suites/ ## Funding The workshop is funded by the MultiplEYE COST Action and the University of Koblenz. The workshop will provide financial support to cover travel expenses for a limited number of participants. Authors will be invited to apply for travel funding upon abstract acceptance. Funding may be partial, and priority will be given to junior researchers. ## Workshop organizers Maja Stegenwallner-Schuetz Dept. of Special Education University of Koblenz, Germany stegenwa(a)uni-koblenz.de Lena Jaeger Dept. of Computational Linguistics University of Zurich, Switzerland jaeger(a)cl.uzh.ch Yevgeni Berzak Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences Technion, Israel berzak(a)technion.ac.il Titus von der Malsburg Inst. of Linguistics University of Stuttgart, Germany titus.von-der-malsburg(a)ling.uni-stuttgart.de -- JProf. Dr. Maja Stegenwallner-Schütz Juniorprofessorin/Assistant professor Förderpädagogik/Sprache unter besonderer Berücksichtigung inklusiver Bildungsprozesse/ Special Education/Language Development in Inclusive Learning Settings Universität Koblenz University of Koblenz Institut für Förderpädagogik/Department of Special Education Postfach 20 16 02 | D-56016 Koblenz (Postanschrift) Universitätsstraße 1 | D-56070 Koblenz (Besucheranschrift) Tel.: +49 261 287 1916 E-Mail: stegenwa(a)uni-koblenz.de Website: https://www.uni-koblenz.de/de/bildungswissenschaften/institut-fuer-foerderp… Datenschutz: https://www.uni-koblenz.de/de/datenschutz

International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): Last Call for Research Papers
by Announce 30 Mar '26

30 Mar '26

*** Last Call for Research 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 (*** Submission Deadline extended to 10 April 2026, AoE ***) The International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026) invites high-quality contributions from researchers and practitioners in software engineering, systems engineering, and related disciplines focussing on a broad spectrum of methods, concepts, and tools for variability. VARIABILITY aims to be the premier forum for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and results in all aspects of software and systems variability management, reuse, software configuration, and customization. As software and systems become increasingly configurable, reusable, and adaptable, managing their variability across all lifecycle phases is more critical—and more challenging —than ever. VARIABILITY 2026 seeks to bring together the diverse communities that address these challenges from theoretical, technical, and practical perspectives. VARIABILITY results from a merge 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), 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). VARIABILITY is by design open as a conference. It welcomes new fields of variability- intensive research, such as artificial intelligence, hybrid software-hardware systems, etc. For this first edition of VARIABILITY, we strive to continue the success of the predecessor conferences ICSR, SPLC, and VaMoS by welcoming high-quality submissions for the research track in numerous closely related areas, such as systems and software product lines, systems and software reuse, configurable systems and software, product configuration, and systems and software variability. We will award the best research paper and the best artifact paper. Topics of Interest We invite contributions on variability management, reuse, and configuration across all phases of the software and systems lifecycle. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Requirements & Domain Engineering • Domain analysis and variability modeling • Decision modeling and support • Customization and personalization specification • Requirements variability and traceability Architecture & Design • Variability-aware software architectures • Architecture-centric product line engineering • Model-driven engineering (MDE) • Multi-product lines, program families, product lines of product lines, software ecosystems Implementation & Code Generation • Generative programming and code synthesis • Modularization techniques for reusable code • Programming languages and frameworks for variability • Open-source strategies for software reuse Testing, Verification & Quality Assurance • Testing and analysis of configurable systems • Safety and security in variable systems • Formal Methods for Software Product Lines • Non-functional properties: quality-aware analysis, quality-driven configuration • Reuse in testing, verification, and quality assurance Evolution, Maintenance & Operation • Refactoring and restructuring of configurable systems • Reverse engineering, variability mining, and refactoring • Runtime variability and dynamic (software) product lines • Maintenance strategies for large-scale reused systems • Variability in DevOps and CI/CD pipelines AI and Data-Driven Methods • Machine learning for variability management • AI-assisted product configuration • Data and repository mining from product lines and configuration histories • Recommendation systems for reuse and customization Publication of Proceedings Accepted papers will be published in the VARIABILITY 2026 proceedings by Springer in the LNCS series. Submission Guidelines Paper Types We invite the following types of submissions: • Full Papers (up to 18 pages excluding references): Research papers must present original, unpublished work with validated results through empirical evaluation, formal analysis, or implementation-based experiments. Submissions must clearly articulate the problem, its relevance, the proposed contribution, and validation results. • Short Papers (6 - 8 pages excluding references): Short papers present early-stage research, novel ideas, or conceptual proposals that are not yet fully developed or validated but offer promising directions. These papers should articulate the vision, motivation, and potential impact. Formatting Papers must use the Springer LNCS template according to: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… Springer provides author guidelines that should be consulted for further details: https://resource-preview-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/conten… Submission Link Submissions should be made via Easy Chair, selecting the research track: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=variability2026 Paper Originality, Double-Anonymous Policy, Reviewing All papers must be original and not under review elsewhere. Submissions will be double- anonymous and reviewed by at least three experts. Submissions will be evaluated based on their novelty, relevance, rigor, transparency, and presentation. Authors of submissions to the first deadline might be invited to submit a revision of their papers to the second deadline, which will be reviewed as a revision. Revisions Research-track papers can be submitted to the first or second cycle. In the first cycle, papers can receive the following decisions: accept, revision, or reject. Revision means that the reviewers believe that the paper has potential, but that its quality or contribution is not yet ready for publication. Such papers are offered lightweight shepherding by a community member, who is not necessarily a PC member or reviewer. Revised papers should be submitted to the second cycle together with a response letter, explaining how the reviewer comments were addressed. They are then reviewed by the same PC members. Papers rejected in the first cycle can be resubmitted in the second cycle, but need to contain an appendix “Changes to First-Cycle Submission” at the end of the PDF (after references, regardless of the page limit) that lists the major changes in bullet-point format. Best Paper Awards Springer will sponsor the awards for bet papers with an overall amount of €1000. Journal Special Issue Selected accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions with at least 30% additional and original material, to be published in a special issue in a reputable Software Engineering journal (currently under negotiation).
