The 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent
Systems (AAMAS 2026)
May 25-29, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus
AAMAS 2026 received 1455 full paper submissions for the Main Track, after an initial
submission of 1800 abstracts. This is by far the highest number of submissions (around
50% more than the previous highest number) in the 25 years of AAMAS.
We still welcome submissions to the Demo Track, the DC Track as well as for tutorials.
The Demo Track allows participants from both academia and industry to showcase their
latest developments in agent-based and robotic systems.
The DC (Doctoral Consortium) is an opportunity to interact closely with established
researchers in your field as well as other PhD students to receive feedback on your work
and to get advice on managing your career.
Tutorials will be half-day long and will be in person — online/remote versions will not be
accepted. A few full-day tutorials may be considered, but the proponents need to motivate
their request when submitting their proposal.
More information about the above calls, along with their respective important dates, are
available on the AAMAS 2026 web site.

International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): Last Mile for Research Papers Submission (1st Round)
December 4th, 2025 Daniela Lopez de Luise |
*** Last Mile for Research Papers Submission (1st Round) ***
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
(*** Submission Deadline: 11 December, 2025 (extended) ***)
The International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and
Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026) invites high-quality contributions from researchers and
practitioners in software engineering, systems engineering, and related disciplines
focussing on a broad spectrum of methods, concepts, and tools for variability.
VARIABILITY aims to be the premier forum for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and
results in all aspects of software and systems variability management, reuse, software
configuration, and customization.
As software and systems become increasingly configurable, reusable, and adaptable,
managing their variability across all lifecycle phases is more critical—and more challenging
—than ever. VARIABILITY 2026 seeks to bring together the diverse communities that
address these challenges from theoretical, technical, and practical perspectives.
VARIABILITY results from a merge 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), 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).
VARIABILITY is by design open as a conference. It welcomes new fields of variability-
intensive research, such as artificial intelligence, hybrid software-hardware systems, etc.
For this first edition of VARIABILITY, we strive to continue the success of the predecessor
conferences ICSR, SPLC, and VaMoS by welcoming high-quality submissions for the
research track in numerous closely related areas, such as systems and software product
lines, systems and software reuse, configurable systems and software, product
configuration, and systems and software variability. We will award the best research paper
and the best artifact paper.

original, unpublished work with validated results through empirical evaluation, formal
analysis, or implementation-based experiments. Submissions must clearly articulate the
problem, its relevance, the proposed contribution, and validation results.
• Short Papers (6 – 8 pages excluding references): Short papers present early-stage
research, novel ideas, or conceptual proposals that are not yet fully developed or
validated but offer promising directions. These papers should articulate the vision,
motivation, and potential impact.
Formatting
Papers must use the Springer LNCS template according to:
Springer provides author guidelines that should be consulted for further details:
Submission Link
Submissions should be made via Easy Chair, selecting the research track:
Paper Originality, Double-Blind Policy, Reviewing
All papers must be original and not under review elsewhere. Submissions will be double-
blind and reviewed by at least three experts. Submissions will be evaluated based on their
novelty, relevance, rigor, transparency, and presentation. Authors of submissions to the
first deadline might be invited to submit a revision of their papers to the second deadline,
which will be reviewed as a revision. Accepted papers will be published in the VARIABILITY
2026 proceedings by Springer in the LNCS series.
Revisions
Research-track papers can be submitted to the first or second cycle. In the first cycle,
papers can receive the following decisions: accept, revision, or reject. Revision means that
the reviewers believe that the paper has potential, but that its quality or contribution is not
yet ready for publication. Such papers are offered lightweight shepherding by a community
member, who is not necessarily a PC member or reviewer. Revised papers should be
submitted to the second cycle together with a response letter, explaining how the reviewer
comments were addressed. They are then reviewed by the same PC members. Papers
rejected in the first cycle can be resubmitted in the second cycle, but need to contain an
appendix “Changes to First-Cycle Submission” at the end of the PDF (after references,
regardless of the page limit) that lists the major changes in bullet-point format.
Best Paper Awards
Springer will sponsor the awards for bet papers with an overall amount of €1000.
Journal Special Issue
Selected accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions with at least 30%
additional and original material, to be published in a special issue in a reputable Software
Engineering journal (currently under negotiation).
