*** Last Call for Fast Abstracts and Project Highlights ***
37th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering
(ISSRE 2026)
October 20-23, 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina
Limassol, Cyprus
A Fast Abstract (FA) or Project Highlights (PH) paper is a two-page, lightly reviewed
technical article. The FA/PH track at ISSRE 2026 aims to bring together researchers and
practitioners working in Software Reliability Engineering (SRE) to:
• Introduce early original ideas.
• Discuss relevant work-in-progress and ongoing experiences.
• Challenge the SRE status quo on key topics.
• Present critical analyses of prior work.
• Share lessons learned from real-world SRE applications.
• Propose new problems from industrial or academic experience.
• Describe approaches to problems of significance that may not yet have complete results.
In addition to traditional Fast Abstracts, the track welcomes Project Highlights (PH) papers.
PH papers are expected to disseminate results, visions, methodologies, tools, and ongoing
activities from national and international research projects (e.g., European, or multi-
institutional initiatives).
Project Highlights may include, but are not limited to:
• Overviews of funded research projects and their objectives.
• Project methodologies, architectures, and experimental frameworks.
• Early or intermediate results, including lessons learned and preliminary insights.
• Datasets, benchmarks, tools, platforms, and other project outcomes released or in
progress.
• Collaboration experiences, challenges, and emerging research directions from national
or international projects.
Project Highlights that can stimulate discussion and collaboration within the ISSRE
community are welcome. Ongoing projects and projects completed not earlier than
October 2025 are eligible.
Accepted contributions will be published in the Supplemental Proceedings of ISSRE 2026
and made available via IEEE Xplore.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Reliability, safety, maintainability, security, survivability, resilience, robustness, and other
dependability attributes.
• Faults (defects, bugs, etc.), errors, failures, and other dependability threats.
• Reliability of all systems, applications, networks, and software, including problems,
solutions, and discussions.
• Metrics, measurement, assessment, monitoring, modeling, estimation, and prediction
regarding reliability.
• Reliability of AI-powered software systems, including large language models (LLMs),
autonomous agents, and AI-enabled applications.
• Other contents about software reliability, such as normative/regulatory/ethical spaces,
societal aspects, etc.
Presentations
The presentation might be in the form of a short talk in a Fast Abstracts/Project Highlights
session or a poster. Further details about presentations and posters will be shared with
authors upon notification.

Manuscripts must be:
• submitted via EasyChair as a single Portable Document Format (PDF) file with all fonts

37th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2026): Last Call for Fast Abstracts and Project Highlights
May 19th, 2026 
Daniela Lopez de Luise 📣 Call for Challenges — AVSS 2026 – DEADLINE EXTENSION 10 March – 📣
May 19th, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise 📣 Call for Papers – ISSA 2026 📣
The first Intelligent Systems for Smart Agriculture (ISSA) Workshop 2026 will be held on August 31, 2026, in Lecce, Italy in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal-Based Systems (AVSS 2026).
📍 Lecce, Italy
📅 August 31, 2026
🔗 Workshop website: https://issa2026.wordpress.com/
⌛ Submission Deadline: May, 20th 2026
In recent decades, agriculture has been facing unprecedented challenges. Climate change, extreme weather events, desertification, and the urgent need for sustainable food production are reshaping the way we think about agricultural systems.
At the same time, the digital transformation of agriculture raises new concerns around security, privacy, and data integrity, as modern infrastructures become increasingly connected and vulnerable.
The goal of ISSA is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and advance cutting-edge research at the intersection of AI, signal processing, and sustainable agriculture.
If you work in smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, remote sensing, IoT, or secure data infrastructure, we would be thrilled to have you join us!
🔎 Topics include (but are not limited to):
– Computer Vision at Scale: From Pixel to Agronomic Insight
– Multi-Modal Sensing for Crop and Livestock Monitoring
– Security, Privacy, and Integrity of Agricultural Data and Systems
– Autonomous Monitoring and Intervention: Mobile Agents in Agriculture
– Signal Processing for Soil and Plants

International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): Last Call for Project Showcases
May 19th, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise |
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
The VARIABILITY conference series brings together the communities previously served by
ICSR, SPLC, and VaMoS, forming a unified venue for research on variability, configuration,
customization, and related disciplines in software and systems engineering. As part of this
mission, VARIABILITY 2026 invites submissions to its Project Showcase Track, a forum
dedicated to presenting ongoing or recently completed research projects.
The track offers a stage for research teams to share their vision, goals, early outcomes,
intermediate results, final achievements, and lessons learned from funded projects of all
scales, including collaborative research centers, EU projects, and nationally or regionally
funded initiatives. The goal is to encourage interaction, foster collaboration opportunities,
and help disseminate project insights to the broader community.
Objectives and Scope
We welcome submissions on research projects that address reuse, product lines, and
variable/configurable software systems. A list of research topics that are relevant for this
track is available from the call for the papers for the VARIABILITY 2026 Research Track, at:
Submissions are expected to describe ongoing or recently completed research projects
within this scope. This track is not intended for publishing mature research results.
Instead, it focuses on project summaries and overviews, highlighting goals, structure,
challenges, insights, and project level impact.
Examples of suitable submissions include:
• Ongoing projects focusing on goals, challenges, methodology, or early findings
• Recently completed projects summarizing outcomes, evidence, and impact
• Large scale, collaborative, or multi partner efforts, where visibility and networking are
beneficial
• Smaller or emerging projects that would benefit from early feedback and exposure
PhD thesis projects are not in scope for this track. We warmly encourage PhD candidates to
submit their work to the VARIABILITY 2026 Doctoral Symposium.
Submission Format
• Length: 7 to 10 pages, excluding references
• Format: LNCS (Springer), single blind submissions
Each submission will receive feedback from three reviewers.
All submissions must adhere to the LNCS (Springer) format. Please refer to the official
LNCS template at
Submissions must be in PDF format and submitted via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=variability2026 (Select “Projects Showcase
Track”).
Presentation and Publication
Accepted papers will appear in the VARIABILITY 2026 Companion Proceedings published
by Springer in the LNCS series. Accepted submissions will receive a presentation slot. At
least one author of each accepted paper must:
• Register for the full conference, and
• Present the contribution at the event
Evaluation Criteria
Submissions will be evaluated on:
• Relevance to the conference scope
• Clarity of project goals, context, and contributions
• Potential for impact, collaboration, reuse, or technology transfer
• Value for discussion and interaction at the conference
The focus is on clarity, relevance, and value to the community rather than scientific
novelty.
