*** Last Mile for Fast Abstracts and Project Highlights Submissions ***

37th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering
(ISSRE 2026)

October 20-23, 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina
Limassol, Cyprus

(*** Submission Deadline: June 25, 2026 AoE (extended and final!) ***)
(*** Proceedings to be published by IEEE ***)
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.

International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): Last Call for Workshop Papers

June 23rd, 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

VARIABILITY is a new conference that has been formed by the merger of three prominent
conferences focussing on software and systems variability, configuration and reuse: SPLC
(the International Systems and Software Product Line Conference, 29 successful editions,
ranked as a top conference), VaMoS (the International Working Conference on Variability
Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems, 19 successful editions), and ICSR (the
International Conference on Systems and Software Reuse, 22 successful editions).

This is the last call for papers for the two workshops to be collocated with VARIABILITY
2026. VARIABILITY workshop papers will be published in a volume of the conference
proceedings published by Springer in LNCS.
Tenth International Workshop on Languages for Modelling Variability (MODEVAR
2026)

Feature models were invented in 1990 and have been recognized as one of the main
contributions to the Software Product Line community. Although several attempts have
been made to establish and study a sort of standard variability modeling language (e.g., OVM, CVL, TVL, .) there is still no consensus on a simple feature modeling language.
There can be many motivations to have one but among others, there is one that is very
important: information sharing among researchers, tools, or developers. Following the
spirit of the previous MODEVAR workshops, this meeting plans to be a full-day, interactive
event where all participants shall share knowledge about how to build up a simple feature
model language that the community can agree on.
First International Workshop on Generative AI and Variability (GAIV 2026)

The Workshop on Generative AI and Variability (GAIV 2026) invites high-quality
contributions from researchers and practitioners in software engineering, artificial
intelligence, and related disciplines, focusing on the intersection of generative AI (GenAI)
and variability-intensive systems. As configurable systems and GenAI technologies rapidly
evolve, their interaction raises new opportunities and challenges: GenAI can automate
variability engineering tasks, while variability introduces complexity in AI pipelines,
prompts, and generated artifacts. GAIV provides a dedicated forum to explore this
emerging research space and foster collaboration between the variability and AI-in-SE
communities.

Quori Virtual Community Meeting

June 23rd, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise

On Wednesday, June 24th, 11am-1pm PDT (GMT-7), we are hosting a virtual/remote meeting for HRI and general robotics researchers interested in the development status of the Quori robot platform. All are welcome!

Quori is an NSF-funded, not-for-profit, open-everything, modular, social robot platform for the robotics research community (https://quori.org).

At this virtual meeting, we will provide Quori development updates, and outline plans for cost, timeline, and distribution of Quori units.

To attend the meeting or to simply indicate your interest in the Quori robot platform, please RSVP to the Google Form HERE, and we will get back to you with a meeting invite. You are encouraged to forward this to anyone you think might be interested in Quori.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks and we hope to see you at the Quori virtual community meeting!
