by Andrea Farina 03 Jun '26

03 Jun '26

https://www.kcl.ac.uk/events/quantitative-diachronic-linguistics-and-cultur… Quantitative Diachronic Linguistics and Cultural Analytics 2027 (QDLCA27) 14–15 January 2026 | King’s College London, Strand Campus, WC2R 2LS We invite submissions for the conference Quantitative Diachronic Linguistics and Cultural Analytics 2027 (QDLCA27), to be held at King’s College London (Strand Campus, WC2R 2LS) on 14–15 January 2026. The conference is funded by the ERC-selected project COALA<https://coala.er.kcl.ac.uk/>. See the conference webpage here<https://www.kcl.ac.uk/events/quantitative-diachronic-linguistics-and-cultur…>. Language is in constant flux, shaped by social, cultural, and cognitive forces over time. With the increasing availability of large-scale textual data and computational tools, researchers are now better equipped than ever to uncover patterns and mechanisms of language change across different linguistic areas (e.g., morphology, syntax, semantics). This conference explores the intersection of quantitative diachronic linguistics and cultural analytics, to investigate how language evolves and how these changes relate – directly or broadly – to cultural dynamics. Confirmed keynote speakers are Prof Dirk Geeraerts<https://www.arts.kuleuven.be/english/our-staff/emeritus-professors/dirkgeer…> (KU Leuven) and Dr Stefania De Gaetano-Ortlieb<https://stefaniadegaetano.com/> (Saarland University). Submission Guidelines * We invite submissions for 20-minute presentations, followed by 10 minutes of discussion. * The abstracts should be anonymised and consist of a maximum of 400 words (excluding references). * Please submit your abstract as a .docx file via email to: quantitative.diachronic.ling(a)gmail.com<mailto:quantitative.diachronic.ling@gmail.com>. Use the following subject line: “ABSTRACT Quantitative Diachronic Linguistics” In case of a large number of high-quality submissions, some abstracts may be selected for poster presentations. Authors will be invited to indicate whether they would consider their submission suitable for a poster session, should one be included in the programme. Poster selections will be based both on authors’ preferences and on reviewers’ recommendations, as reviewers will also be asked to assess the suitability of submissions for poster presentation. Deadline: 13 September 2026, 23:59 BST Suggested Topics (non-exhaustive list) Submissions may include (but are not limited to) the following areas, with no restrictions on language(s) or historical periods: * Quantitative studies of language change across time * Corpus-based analyses of language evolution * Computational modelling of diachronic syntax, semantics, morphology, etc. * Cross-linguistic comparisons using large-scale data * Language change in connection with historical, literary, or cultural trends * Digital methods for exploring linguistic and cultural shifts * Applications of cultural analytics to linguistic data Important Dates * 13 September 2026: Abstract Submission Deadline * 26 October 2026: Notification of Acceptance * 14–15 January 2026: Conference Dates For any inquiries, please contact the organiser, Dr Andrea Farina<https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/andrea-farina> (andrea.farina(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:andrea.farina@kcl.ac.uk>).

*** Last Call for Papers (Industry Track) *** 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/ The ISSRE Industry Track gathers industry representatives as well as researchers from, within or in collaboration with industry to discuss software reliability, quality assurance as well as experiences and lessons learned. This year we will bring experiences from self- made tools, usage of AI, generative AI and machine learning in relation to software reliability. Industry track papers are expected to be of interest to software development professionals, as well as to anyone researching or working in the area of software reliability, software quality, and process improvement groups, with concrete relevance to industrial problems and practical applications. All presenters of accepted papers will be required to attend the conference in person. Participating in the conference would give a chance to meet and discuss with a wide selection of researchers and other industry experts in the area. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include development, analysis methods and models throughout the software development lifecycle, from an industrial and practitioner-oriented perspective. Ask yourself this: Is the work grounded in real-world systems, operational experience, or industrial practice, and does it address reliability or dependability concerns? If it is, you have found the right conference track. For a more detailed list check out the detailed topics list for the research track on this site. • Use cases, practical experiences, lessons learned, improvement programs in reliability or dependability. • Foundations of reliability and dependability, including process, technology, methods, metrics and lessons learned. • Design for reliability or dependability, failure and incident case studies, including experiences in security, testing, verification, and related practices in the field. • Reliability in AI-driven and autonomic systems or AI techniques used for Reliability Engineering. • Software reliability in any system domain. • Trustworthiness, security, and Responsible Software Engineering. • Human-centric focus on reliability and dependability. • Adoption of reliability standards, measurements and similar experiences. We look for papers with good evaluation, honest data, new insights and practical experiences that can be used to help others. We also encourage submissions reporting negative results, unexpected outcomes, and lessons learned from real-world practice. Submission Guidelines and Instructions We invite three kinds of submissions to the Industry Track: • Enlightening Talk or Tool Demo: 1-2 page abstract (OR a Power Point presentation OR a video for a tool demo). • Short paper: 4-pages (including references). • Full paper: 6-pages (including references). All the submissions will be reviewed by members of the Industry Track Program Committee. Accepted papers (with an abstract) will be included in the ISSRE Supplemental Proceedings and submitted for publication to IEEE Xplore. Papers are submitted via Easy Chair https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=issre2026 . Submissions must adhere to the IEEE Computer Society Format Guidelines (for more Information, please refer to the relevant part on the conference website: https://cyprusconferences.org/issre2026/industry-track/). Note that: • A paper must include the title, the name and affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words, and up to 4 keywords. Thus, submissions are not anonymous. • Reviewers will use the abstract during the bidding process for peer-review. Thus, the abstract should state the paper goals clearly, along with the means used to achieve them. • The first page is not a separate page, but is a part of the paper (i.e., it has technical material in it). Thus, this page counts toward the total page budget for the paper. • Symbols and labels used in the graphs should be readable as printed, without requiring on-screen magnification. • Limit the file size to less than 15 MB (for Video’s – provide a live link). Papers that exceed the page limits specified, on topics not in the scope of ISSRE, or that do not follow the formatting guidelines will be rejected without review. Authors of accepted papers will have the chance to present their work at ISSRE 2026. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register for the conference and to give the talk, if the paper is accepted. Best Paper Awards The Industry Program Chair will select three candidates among top-ranked papers presenting and motivating novel and disruptive ideas that address problems relevant for industry. Selection will be based on the reviewers’ feedback, novelty and potential impact of the results. The final selection of the best paper will be done by the audience attending the presentation of the candidate papers. Eligible papers must be (1) full papers accepted to the industry track, and (2) co-authored by at least one author whose primary affiliation is in Industry. Important Dates (AoE) • Abstract Submission Deadline: June 28, 2026 & July 3, 2026 • Paper Submission Deadline: July 5, 2026 & July 12, 2026 • Notification to Authors: August 12, 2026 • Camera Ready Papers: August 19, 2026 • Enlightening Talks or Tool Demos (without abstract; not to appear in the proceedings): August 15, 2026 • Author Registration Deadline (Industry Track): August 19, 2026 Organisation General Chairs • Leonardo Mariani, University of Milano - Bicocca, Italy • George A.
