(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.

ICMI 2026 CALL FOR LATE-BREAKING RESULTS (LBR)
===============================================
5-9 October 2026, Napoli - Italy
https://icmi.acm.org/2026/
===============================================
Dear colleagues,
Please find below the Call for Papers for the Late-Breaking Results (LBR) track of the 28th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2026).
Based on the success of the Late-Breaking Results (LBR) track, ICMI 2026 will continue soliciting submissions for this special venue. The goal of this venue is to provide a way for researchers to share emerging results at the conference. Accepted submissions will be presented in a poster session at the conference, and the extended abstract will be published in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the main ICMI Proceedings. Like similar venues at other conferences, the LBR venue is intended to allow sharing of ideas, getting formative feedback on early-stage work, and furthering collaborations among colleagues.
* Online Submission
https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions/icmi26a
* Highlights
- Submission deadline: June 21st, 2026
- Notifications: July 15th, 2026
- Camera-ready deadline: August 2nd, 2026
- Conference Dates: October 6–8, 2026
- Submission format: Anonymized short paper (four-page paper in a double-column format, not including references), following the submission guidelines
- Selection process: Peer-Reviewed
- Presentation format: Participation in the conference poster session
- Proceedings: Included in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) and ACM Digital Library
- LBR Co-chairs: Daniel Riccio and Hung-Hsuan Huang
* What are Late-Breaking Results?
Late-Breaking Results (LBR) submissions represent work such as preliminary results, provoking and current topics, novel experiences or interactions that may not have been fully validated yet, cutting-edge or emerging work that is still in exploratory stages, smaller-scale studies, or, in general, work that has not yet reached a level of maturity expected for the full-length main track papers. However, LBR papers are still expected to bring a contribution to the ICMI community, commensurate with the preliminary, short, and quasi-informal nature of this track.
* Why submit to the Late-Breaking Results track at ICMI?
Accepted LBR papers will be presented as posters during the conference. This provides an opportunity for researchers to receive feedback on early-stage work, explore potential collaborations, and otherwise engage in exciting, thought-provoking discussions about their work in an informal setting that is significantly less constrained than a paper presentation. The LBR track also offers those new to the ICMI community a chance to share their preliminary research as they become familiar with this field.
Late-Breaking Results papers appear in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the ICMI Proceedings. Copyright is retained by the authors, and the material from these papers can be used as the basis for future publications as long as there are significant revisions, as per the ACM and ACM SIGCHI policies. LBR papers will be published as ACM extended abstracts in the Adjunct Proceedings. Under ACM Open, extended abstract article types are not subject to Article Processing Charges (APCs).
* Submission Guidelines
Extended Abstract
An anonymized short paper, four-page paper in a double-column ACM conference format, using LaTeX or Word (excluding references). Papers should follow the same guidelines as papers published in the proceedings of the ACM ICMI conference. The paper should be submitted in PDF format and through the ICMI submission system in the "Late-Breaking Results" track. Due to the tight publication timeline, it is recommended that authors submit a very nearly finalized paper that is as close to camera-ready as possible, as there will be a very short timeframe for preparing the final camera-ready version, and no deadline extensions can be granted.
Anonymization
Authors are instructed not to include author information in their submission. In order to help reviewers judge the situation of the LBR relative to prior work, authors should not remove or anonymize references to their own prior work. Instead, authors should refer to their own prior work in the third person during submission. After acceptance, such references can be changed to first person if desired.
* Review Process
LBRs will be evaluated to the extent that they are presenting work still in progress, rather than complete work, which is under-described in order to fit into the LBR format. The LBR track will undergo an external peer review process. Submissions will be evaluated by a number of factors, including (1) the relevance of the work to ICMI, (2) the quality of the submission, and (3) the degree to which it fits the LBR track, for example, in-progress results. More particularly, the quality of the submission will be evaluated based on the potential contributions of the research to the field of multimodal interfaces and its impact on the field and beyond. Authors should clearly justify how the proposed ideas can bring measurable breakthroughs compared to the state of the art.
* Attendance
Similar rules for registration and attendance will be applied for authors of LBR papers as for regular papers. Further information will be made available later on the conference website.

This workshop aims to advance innovative NLP research that benefits society, emphasizing responsible methods and impactful applications. We welcome submissions in areas including, but not limited to:
* Grounding NLP in Real-World Impact: Beyond improving model performance, how can NLP systems be directly tied to social outcomes? This could include case studies of real-world deployments or strategies for better deployment and maintenance practices.
* Underexplored Applications: While NLP for healthcare and mental well-being is well-established, we encourage research tackling overlooked areas such as poverty, hunger, energy, and climate change.
* Interdisciplinary Collaborations: We highly value work that integrates insights from other fields, such as social science, political science, economics, philanthropy, and HCI, and we encourage submissions of case studies or examples that highlight such collaborations.
Special Theme: Measuring the Societal Impact of AI and NLP
This year we would like to find an answer to the question: How can we measure the social impact of AI and NLP? With even the bigger raise of opportunities of AI and language technologies, we would like to understand how it influences society and if in positive manners. Position, philosophical-grounded, and new evaluation framework suggestion papers are very much welcomed to enhance the discussion!
