*** First 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
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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.
