*** First Call for Papers (Industry Track) *** 37th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2026) October 20-23, 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/issre2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> The ISSRE Industry Track gathers industry representatives as well as researchers from, within or in collaboration with industry to discuss software reliability, quality assurance as well as experiences and lessons learned. This year we will bring experiences from self- made tools, usage of AI, generative AI and machine learning in relation to software reliability. Industry track papers are expected to be of interest to software development professionals, as well as to anyone researching or working in the area of software reliability, software quality, and process improvement groups, with concrete relevance to industrial problems and practical applications. All presenters of accepted papers will be required to attend the conference in person. Participating in the conference would give a chance to meet and discuss with a wide selection of researchers and other industry experts in the area. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include development, analysis methods and models throughout the software development lifecycle, from an industrial and practitioner-oriented perspective. Ask yourself this: Is the work grounded in real-world systems, operational experience, or industrial practice, and does it address reliability or dependability concerns? If it is, you have found the right conference track. For a more detailed list check out the detailed topics list for the research track on this site. • Use cases, practical experiences, lessons learned, improvement programs in reliability or dependability. • Foundations of reliability and dependability, including process, technology, methods, metrics and lessons learned. • Design for reliability or dependability, failure and incident case studies, including experiences in security, testing, verification, and related practices in the field. • Reliability in AI-driven and autonomic systems or AI techniques used for Reliability Engineering. • Software reliability in any system domain. • Trustworthiness, security, and Responsible Software Engineering. • Human-centric focus on reliability and dependability. • Adoption of reliability standards, measurements and similar experiences. We look for papers with good evaluation, honest data, new insights and practical experiences that can be used to help others. We also encourage submissions reporting negative results, unexpected outcomes, and lessons learned from real-world practice. Submission Guidelines and Instructions We invite three kinds of submissions to the Industry Track: • Enlightening Talk or Tool Demo: 1-2 page abstract (OR a Power Point presentation OR a video for a tool demo). • Short paper: 4-pages (including references). • Full paper: 6-pages (including references). All the submissions will be reviewed by members of the Industry Track Program Committee. Accepted papers (with an abstract) will be included in the ISSRE Supplemental Proceedings and submitted for publication to IEEE Xplore. Submissions must adhere to the IEEE Computer Society Format Guidelines (for more Information, please refer to the relevant part on the conference website: https://cyprusconferences.org/issre2026/industry-track/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…>). Note that: • A paper must include the title, the name and affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words, and up to 4 keywords. Thus, submissions are not anonymous. • Reviewers will use the abstract during the bidding process for peer-review. Thus, the abstract should state the paper goals clearly, along with the means used to achieve them. • The first page is not a separate page, but is a part of the paper (i.e., it has technical material in it). Thus, this page counts toward the total page budget for the paper. • Symbols and labels used in the graphs should be readable as printed, without requiring on-screen magnification. • Limit the file size to less than 15 MB (for Video’s – provide a live link). Papers that exceed the page limits specified, on topics not in the scope of ISSRE, or that do not follow the formatting guidelines will be rejected without review. Authors of accepted papers will have the chance to present their work at ISSRE 2026. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register for the conference and to give the talk, if the paper is accepted. Best Paper Awards The Industry Program Chair will select three candidates among top-ranked papers presenting and motivating novel and disruptive ideas that address problems relevant for industry. Selection will be based on the reviewers’ feedback, novelty and potential impact of the results. The final selection of the best paper will be done by the audience attending the presentation of the candidate papers. Eligible papers must be (1) full papers accepted to the industry track, and (2) co-authored by at least one author whose primary affiliation is in Industry.

*** First Call for Papers (Research Track) *** 37th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2026) October 20-23, 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/issre2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> The International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE) is the leading conference on software reliability research and practice. ISSRE focuses on techniques and tools for assessing, predicting, and improving the reliability, safety, security, and resilience of software systems. As modern software increasingly integrates AI/ML components, operates autonomously, and spans cloud-to-edge environments, ensuring reliable system behavior is more critical than ever. Topics of Interest ISSRE 2026 invites high-quality contributions that advance the theory and practice of software reliability across contemporary software-intensive systems, including systems that incorporate AI/ML components. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Foundations of Reliability and Dependability • Principles, models, metrics, empirical methods, and theories of software reliability, resilience, robustness, and safety • Systematic approaches to fault prevention, fault removal, fault tolerance, and fault forecasting in modern software systems • Testing and debugging, formal methods, model checking, static/dynamic analysis, verification, and runtime assurance Reliability in AI-Driven and Autonomic Systems • Reliability engineering for AI-enabled, autonomous, self-adaptive, and cyber-physical systems • Assurance, testing, verification, and certification of AI/ML components, including foundation and generative models • Reliability of AI-generated code: validation, verification, explainability, defect analysis, and trustworthy automation of development tasks • Impact of AI on software lifecycle processes (design, testing, evolution, operations, and quality management) AI Techniques for Reliability Engineering • Machine learning for defect prediction, anomaly detection, debugging assistance, fault localization, and test automation • Learning-based approaches to self-healing, resilience management, predictive maintenance, and reliability optimization • Reliability governance in AI-driven DevOps pipelines, including transparency, interpretability, and auditability Software Reliability in Emerging System Domains • Reliability assurance for cloud, edge, IoT, 5G/6G, cyber-physical, high-performance, and network softwarization environments • Dependability of open-source ecosystems, data-driven pipelines, model hubs, and AI-assisted contributions • Benchmarking, stress testing, workload modeling, and measurement frameworks for large-scale and AI-based systems Trustworthiness, Security, and Responsible Software Engineering • Intersections of reliability with security, privacy, fairness, transparency, and regulatory compliance • Societal, ethical, and human impacts of pervasive AI-enabled software systems • Responsible governance of AI-based systems, including lifecycle assurance, auditability, and risk analysis Human-Centered, Empirical, and Reproducible Reliability Research • Field studies, experience reports, user studies, and human factors in reliability engineering • Public datasets, benchmark suites, reproducibility packages, and replication/negative- result studies • Tooling, automation, continuous reliability monitoring, observability, and operational feedback loops Research Track Paper Categories The research track at ISSRE 2026 invites high-quality submissions of technical research papers that describe original, unpublished results exploring new scientific ideas, contribute new evidence to established research directions, or reflect on practical experience. Specifically, ISSRE solicits submissions in three categories: • Research (RES) papers • Practical experience reports (PER) • Tools and artefacts (TAR) papers Papers will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each category. All the papers of the three categories are regular and full papers, and will be published in the same ISSRE proceedings. RES Papers RES papers (12 pages, including references) should describe a novel contribution to the reliability of software systems. Novelty should be argued via concrete evidence and appropriate positioning within the state of the art. RES papers are also expected to explain the validation process and its limitations clearly. PER Papers PER papers (12 pages, including references) should provide an in-depth exposition of practical experiences ideally performed by a collaboration of researchers and industry practitioners. The key contribution of these papers should be lessons learned from applying established research tools and methods to ISSRE topics, or new knowledge acquired through empirical studies conducted using various research methodologies. Negative results are welcome, e.g., discussing where or why current research cannot be applied in an industrially relevant context. TAR Papers TAR papers (6 – 10 pages, including references) should describe a new tool or artefact. Tool-focused TAR papers must present either a new tool or a novel and substantial extension of an existing tool. They should include a description of (i) the theoretical foundations, (ii) the design and implementation aspects, and (iii) experiments with realistic case studies. Making the tool publicly available is strongly encouraged. Artefact-focused TAR papers should cover (i) a working copy of the software and (ii) experimental data sets. Dataset papers should introduce a new dataset that supports experimentation, benchmarking, evaluation, or training in AI-driven software engineering. Submissions should describe: (i) dataset motivation and scope, (ii) data collection and processing methodology, (iii) dataset structure and statistics, and (iv) potential use cases. Benchmark papers should present a new benchmark suite for evaluating tools, LLMs, or algorithms. Submissions should include: (i) benchmark design principles, (ii) task definitions and evaluation metrics, (iii) baseline results, and (iv) reproducibility package. The ISSRE conference encourages authors of all three categories of research track papers to follow the principles of transparency, reproducibility, and replicability. Authors are encouraged to disclose data to increase reproducibility and replicability. Should the paper be accepted, the authors will have the opportunity (and are encouraged to) submit artifacts to the Artifact Evaluation (AE) track, to enhance the reproducibility and quality of the research. By submitting your artifacts, you not only contribute to the progress of our field but also stand a chance to earn badges that will be displayed on your papers in the conference proceedings, showcasing the credibility and rigor of your work. At least one author of each accepted paper must register as an author and present the paper in person at the conference. Best Research Paper Award ISSRE is pleased to announce the IEEE Best Research Paper Award, awarded every year to the best paper in the Research Track. Special Journal Issue Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue of the Empirical Software Engineering (EMSE) journal (under negotiation as in previous editions of the conference).

CfP - Human Work Interaction Design 2026 (HWID 2026)

by Barbara Rita BARRICELLI

--------------------------------- CfP - Human Work Interaction Design 2026 (HWID 2026) Harmonisation of human and machine intelligence in the 5th Industrial Revolution (5IR) Workplace June 17-18, 2026 University of West London, St. Mary’s Road, London (United Kingdom) https:/wg6.ifip-tc13.org/human-work-interaction-design-2026-hwid-2026 8th Working Conference of the IFIP WG 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design --------------------------------- Technologies in work settings are increasingly underpinned by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This means that applications and platforms such as those in the Metaverse, Digital Twin (DT) systems, and Industry 4.0 and 5.0 are becoming increasingly autonomous and intelligent. While these developments promise efficiency and innovation, they also present risks of over-reliance on technology and a potential abdication of human agency in the workplace. Such reliance may lead workers to underestimate their own cognitive and creative capabilities and to privilege machine intelligence over human skills. Rather than automating tasks and relegating workers to supervisory or backup roles, augmentation seeks to enable meaningful cooperation between humans and machines. Although this concept has been well studied in terms of efficacy and efficiency, further efforts in Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) research are required to support well-being, trust, and transparency; to ensure human autonomy and governance within human–machine teams; and to respect human values. Industry 5.0 builds on the technological foundations of Industry 4.0 by shifting the focus from productivity and efficiency toward human well-being and sustainability. In this context, the harmonisation of human and machine intelligence requires the ability to measure, analyse, and apply affective and contextual data about workers and workplace environments in order to design, integrate, and optimise work experiences. This conference, therefore, calls for inclusive and interdisciplinary approaches to unpacking Industry 5.0 and re-conceptualising work augmentation in AI-driven environments. We particularly encourage the integration of perspectives from the social sciences, arts, design, and humanities into the design and governance of intelligent work systems. This call seeks contributions that explore the augmentation of human cognition in line with human values through research of new frameworks, models, approaches, and case studies for Industry 5.0. The Fifth Industrial Revolution (5IR) focuses on harmonising human ability and well-being, while simultaneously ensuring human beings can make effective use of 5IR technologies in the workplace. This edition of the HWID working conference aims to attract submissions from professionals in academia, national labs, and industry, as well as from students. The event will provide a platform to discuss tools, procedures, and professional competencies essential for harmonizing human and machine intelligence, central to Industry 5.0. KEYNOTE SPEAKER HWID2026 is a two-day working conference that focuses on discussion and exchange of ideas. During this edition, HWID2026 is pleased to welcome Professor Karen Cham, Director of the Behavioural Research Analytics in Neurotechnological Systems (BRAINS) Lab at Kingston University, expert in Augmented Intelligence, Digital Transformation & Design, as a keynote speaker. TOPICS - Human-centred UI design with and of 5IR technologies in the workplace - Human-AI interaction and collaboration - Sociotechnical Theory and Methods for 5IR - Collaborative systems design for Industry 5.0 - Human Digital Twins in the future of work - Behavioral analytics and data modelling - Safety and well-being of workers in the workplace (e.g., trust and training) - Ethics, policy, and law in 5IR - Case studies and implications of 5IR technologies (e.g., discretionary effort, job satisfaction) - Education and coaching to afford harmonisation of human and 5IR technologies in the workplace - Human and social sciences, creative arts, and design - Digital readiness for Industry 5.0 technologies in workplaces. - Design for occupational well-being in the 5IR IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: February 8 Notification to authors: March 6 Camera ready: March 27 Conference: June 17-18, 2026 SUBMISSIONS We invite authors to submit full papers (minimum 6 pages, maximum 12 pages, excluding references) formatted according to the LNCS template available on the Springer website: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… The link to the submission system: https://meteor.springer.com/HWID2026 Each paper will be reviewed by three reviewers (single-blind).
