*** Last Call for Workshop Proposals ***
37th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering
(ISSRE 2026)
October 20-23, 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina
Limassol, Cyprus
Objectives
ISSRE strives to be the conference that appeals to both researchers and practitioners. To
that end, we invite proposals for workshops to co-locate with the Symposium and provide
additional opportunities for collaborating and exchanging information. The workshops
aim at discussing research developments and challenges at an early stage. ISSRE welcomes
workshops that explore new ways to provide and assess software reliability, safety, and
security. We also seek workshops that deal with the provision of reliable, safe, and secure
software and systems in fast-growing, transformative application domains. Appropriately
defined workshop proposals have the following characteristics:
• They offer researchers a forum to exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas
at an early stage before maturation that would warrant conference or journal publication.
• They attract practitioners and researchers to working sessions to discuss and make
progress toward solutions to current and future problems in engineering high assurance
software and systems.
• They focus on collaborative discussions and information sharing between researchers
and industry practitioners.
Recurring Workshops
Workshops affiliated with ISSRE in previous years with good organization and numbers of
participants are pre-approved. Their organizers do not need to submit a new workshop
proposal. Their organizers are kindly asked to inform the workshop chairs about returning
the workshop to ISSRE in 2026.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include development, analysis methods and models throughout the
software development lifecycle, and are not limited to:
• Primary dependability attributes (i.e., security, safety, maintainability) impacting software
reliability
• Secondary dependability attributes (i.e., survivability, resilience, robustness) impacting
software reliability
• Reliability threats, i.e. faults (defects, bugs, etc.), errors, failures
• Reliability means (fault prevention, fault removal, fault tolerance, fault forecasting)
• Machine Learning and AI-based approaches for enhancing reliability of systems
• Reliability, threads and biases of AI-based software systems, in particular Large
Language Models
• Data-related reliability and vulnerability issues and risks
• Learning-based models of software systems, threads, and reliability estimates
• Automated debugging and program repair
• Metrics, measurements and threat estimation for reliability prediction and the interplay
with safety/security
• Reliability of software services
• Reliability of open source software
• Reliability in networks softwarization
• Reliability of Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Reliability of software dealing with Big Data
• Reliability of model-based and auto-generated software

green and sustainable, mobile systems)
• Reliability of software within specific technological spaces (e.g., Internet of Things,
Cloud, 5G/6G, edge-to-cloud computing, Semantic Web/Web 3.0, Virtualization,
Blockchain)
• Normative/regulatory/ethical spaces pertaining to software reliability
• Societal aspects of software reliability

Call for Papers – ECCV Workshop on Computer Vision for Natural Heritage
May 13th, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise 🌿 The Computer Vision for Natural Heritage (CVNH) is an ECCV workshop that brings together computer vision researchers, natural heritage digitization experts, and domain scientists to advance methods for analyzing 2D, 3D, and multi-modal imaging of natural history collections and to identify open challenges.
📄 Abstract: Globally, large-scale digitization initiatives are generating massive image datasets from natural history collections. Computer vision is essential for unlocking the scientific value of these data, enabling automated extraction of specimen information and supporting research in biodiversity, ecology, and evolution, including studies of migration and ongoing mass extinction. Despite controlled imaging conditions and rich metadata, automated analysis remains challenging due to complex specimen structures, varying appearances, and handwritten labels. Natural history datasets span 2D images (e.g., photographs, multi-spectral scans), 3D volumetric data (e.g., micro-CT), and multi‑modal inputs (e.g., image-text pairs).
📢 Call for Papers: The covered topics include but are not limited to:
-
Digitization and mobilisation of specimen data from labels and archive cards
-
2D and 3D specimen imaging
-
Robotic vision for automated imaging
-
Species recognition and AI‑assisted species description
-
Phenology estimation from collection specimens
-
Benchmarks, datasets, and evaluation protocols
-
Vision-based quality control and error detection
-
Morphological trait extraction using CV
-
Computational challenges for species recognition (CT-scans of micro‑fossils and handwritten insect labels)
🏆 Kaggle challenges: We are also launching two Kaggle Challenges. The authors of the top-performing submissions will be invited to participate in a paper.
-
Foram2026 Challenge: Detection and classification of microCT 3D scans of Forameniferas.
-
SCAT2026: Text recognition and text type identification (e.g., “date”, “locality”) in museum label photographs.
🎤 Speakers: Elizabeth G. Campolongo (Senior Data Scientist for the Imageomics Institute, The Ohio State University (United States)); Emily Baird (Professor at the Stockholm University (Sweden)); Moritz Lürig (Assistant Professor at Bonn University (Germany)); Joakim Bruslund Haurum (Assistant Professor at the University of Southern Denmark (Denmark)).
