LLM-SOA Workshop at CAiSE 2026: Final Call for Papers

March 3rd, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise

Second Workshop on Large Language Models for Service-Oriented Architectures and Systems Design, co-located with CAiSE 2026 (June 8-12, 2026, Verona, Italy)

 

Workshop Website: https://dbwis.gitlab.io/llm-soa/

 

 

Final Call for Papers

 

In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a transformative technology, opening new opportunities across various fields, including Information Systems design. While LLMs excel in Natural Language Processing tasks, such as text translation and summarization, their potential in software architecture design and, in particular, in service-oriented solutions, is still underexplored.

 

This workshop aims to provide a forum for innovative proposals striving to integrate LLMs in the landscape of Service-Oriented Architectures and Systems. Of particular interest are the benefits delivered by the adoption of LLMs in improving the design of service-oriented architectural solutions (and their impact on efficiency, accuracy, and scalability) as well as their use in tasks such as service discovery and composition.

 

Topics of Interest (not limited to):

  • Usage of LLMs to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of software architectures, with a particular concern on service-oriented solutions
  • Approaches for service discovery and composition with LLMs
  • Use of LLMs for the improvement of Service-Oriented Architectures and Systems design
  • Interoperability and integration of services in Service-Oriented Architectures and Systems with LLMs
  • Practical implementations and evaluation of LLMs for service interoperability
  • Novel approaches for real-world applications of LLMs in Service-Oriented Architectures and Systems

 

Important Dates

  • Submission deadline: March 8, 2026
  • Notification: March 31, 2026
  • Camera-ready: April 7, 2026
  • Workshop: June 8-9, 2026

International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): First Call for Demos and Tools

March 3rd, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise
*** First Call for Demos and Tools ***

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 merged 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).

The Demos and Tools Track at VARIABILITY 2026 invites compelling live presentations
and submissions of innovative tools, practical demonstrations, and curated datasets that
support research and practice in software and systems product line engineering, reuse,
and configuration.

This track provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to showcase academic or
commercial tools, demonstrations of novel techniques, and datasets that contribute to the
advancement of software and systems reuse, software product lines and configurable
systems. Accepted contributions will be featured both during the main conference (via oral
presentations) and in interactive exhibition spaces (e.g., demo booths or poster/demo
sessions during breaks).

This track provides an opportunity to illustrate the practical impact of new ideas and to
foster interaction between researchers and practitioners that address real-world variability
challenges.
Topics of Interest

We welcome submissions on all topics related to tool support and datasets for product
lines and variable/configurable software systems, including (but not limited to):

Core Product Line Engineering Techniques
• Feature modeling
• Variability management
• Product Line Architecture
• Validation and verification
• Product derivation and generation, including build systems and CI
• Product-line testing and further analyses
• Optimization and measurement of non-functional properties
• Language product lines

Application Domains and Contexts
• Software-intensive and cyber-physical systems
• Web and cloud-based systems, including microservices
• Internet of Things
• Automotive and industrial automation
• Consumer electronics
• Software ecosystems and multi-product lines
Submission Guidelines

Submissions must describe either (1) a new tool or prototype; (2) a novel extension to an
existing tool; (3) a practical demonstration of an approach; (4) a new or curated dataset
relevant to variability and reuse; (5) a significant update to a previously published tool or
dataset (include a clear description of new contributions).

Each submission must include:
• A paper of up to 4 pages, including references and figures.
• An optional appendix of up to 2 pages (not included in the proceedings), describing the
planned live demonstration or dataset usage scenario.
• A link to a short video (max. 5 minutes) illustrating the tool, demonstration, or dataset
in action.

Papers should briefly describe the theoretical foundation, with a focus on practical aspects
such as software architecture, implementation decisions, usage methodology, and
validation through case studies or benchmarks.

Public availability of tools and datasets (preferably under open-source/open-data licenses)
is strongly encouraged. Where availability is not possible, submissions should explain the
reasons.
All submissions must adhere to the LNCS (Springer) format. Please refer to the official LNCS

Submissions must be in PDF format and submitted via EasyChair:
