Call for Papers: FORMALISE 2026 14th International Conference on Formal Methods in Software Engineering 12 and 13 April, 2026 co-located with ICSE 2026 (April 12 - April 18, 2026), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil https://conf.researchr.org/home/Formalise-202 <https://conf.researchr.org/home/Formalise-2026>6 oc2026(a)formalise.org <mailto:oc2026@formalise.org> Overview Historically, formal methods academic research and practical software development have had limited mutual interactions — except possibly in specialized domains such as safety-critical software. In recent times, the outlook has considerably improved: on the one hand, formal methods research has delivered more flexible techniques and tools that can support various aspects of the software development process: from user requirements elicitation, to design, implementation, verification and validation, as well as the creation of documentation. On the other hand, software engineering has developed a growing interest in rigorous techniques applied at scale. The FormaliSE conference series promotes work at the intersection of the formal methods and software engineering communities, providing a venue to exchange ideas, experiences, techniques, and results. We believe more collaboration between these two communities can be mutually beneficial by fostering the creation of formal methods that are practically useful and by helping develop higher-quality software. Originally a workshop event, since 2018, FormaliSE has been organized as a conference co-located with ICSE. The 14th edition of FormaliSE will also take place as a co-located conference of ICSE 2026. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: requirements formalization and formal specification; approaches, methods, and tools for verification and validation; formal approaches to safety and security-related issues; analysis of performance and other non-functional properties based on formal approaches; scalability of formal method applications integration of formal methods within the software development lifecycle (e.g., change management, continuous integration, regression testing, and deployment) model-based engineering approaches; correctness-by-construction approaches for software and systems engineering; application of formal methods to specific domains, e.g., autonomous, cyber-physical, intelligent, and IoT systems; formal methods for AI-based systems (FM4AI), and AI applied in formal method approaches (AI4FM); formal methods in a certification context case studies developed/analyzed with formal approaches experience reports on the application of formal methods to real-world problems; guidelines to use formal methods in practice; usability of formal methods. Important dates: Submissions: 23 October 2025 (AoE) Notifications: 5 January 2026 Camera-ready copies: 26 January 2026 FormaliSE conference: 12-13 April 2026 Paper submission guidelines We accept papers in four categories: Full research papers (10 pages of content + 2 pages of references) describing original research work and results. We encourage authors to include validation of their contributions by means of a case study or experiments. We also welcome research papers focusing on tools and tool development. Case study papers (10 pages of content + 2 pages of references) discussing a significant application that suggests general lessons learned and motivates further research, or empirically validates theoretical results (such as a technique's scalability). Research ideas papers (4 pages of content + 1 page of references) describing new ideas in preliminary form, in a way that can stimulate interesting discussions at the conference, and suggest future work. (New) Extended Abstract (4 pages of content + 1 page of references) presenting ongoing research or new research ideas without a mature evaluation. While the content and evaluation are the same as research ideas papers, extended abstracts are not subject to Article Processing Charges (APCs) <https://libraries.acm.org/acmopen/article-types> All papers submitted to the FormaliSE 2026 conference must be written in English, must be unpublished original work, and must not be under review or submitted elsewhere at the time of submission. Submissions must comply with FormaliSE's lightweight double-anonymous review process (see below). All submissions must be in PDF format and conform, at time of submission, to the official “ACM Primary Article Template”, which can be obtained from the ACM Proceedings Template Page. LaTeX users should use the sigconf option, as well as the review (to produce line numbers for easy reference by the reviewers) and anonymous (omitting author names) options. To that end, the following LaTeX code can be placed at the start of the LaTeX document: \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart} To submit a paper to FormaliSE 2026 use this HotCRP link: <https://formalise25.hotcrp.com/>https://formalise26.hotcrp.com/ Open‬‭ Access Starting‬‭ 2026,‬‭ all‬‭ articles‬‭ published‬‭ by‬‭ ACM‬‭ will‬‭ be‬‭ made‬‭ Open‬‭ Access.‬‭ This‬‭ is‬‭ greatly‬ beneficial‬‭ to‬‭ the‬‭ advancement‬‭ of‬‭ computer‬‭ science‬‭ and‬‭ leads‬‭ to‬‭ increased‬‭ usage‬‭ and‬ citation‬‭ of‬‭ research.‬‭ Most‬‭ authors‬‭ will‬‭ be‬‭ covered‬‭ by‬‭ ACM‬‭ OPEN‬‭ agreements‬‭ by‬‭ that‬ point‬‭ and‬‭ will‬‭ not‬‭ have‬‭ to‬‭ pay‬‭ Article‬‭ Processing‬‭ Charges‬‭ (APC).‬‭ Check‬‭ if‬‭ your‬‭ institution‬ participates‬‭ in‬‭ ACM‬‭ OPEN‬‭.‬‭ Authors‬‭ not‬‭ covered‬‭ by‬‭ ACM‬‭ OPEN‬‭ agreements‬‭ may‬‭ have‬‭ to‬ pay‬‭ APC;‬‭ however,‬‭ ACM‬‭ is‬‭ offering‬‭ several‬‭ automated‬‭ and‬‭ discretionary‬‭ APC‬‭ Waivers‬ and Discounts‬‭ .‬ Reviewers and paper authors should follow the‬‭ latest‬‭ policies‬‭ from‬‭ IEEE‬‭ and‬‭ ACM‬‭ (“‬‭ IEEE‬‭ Submission‬‭ and‬ Peer‬‭ Review‬‭ Policy <https://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/ieee-reviewer-guidelin…>‬‭” and‬‭ “ACM‬‭ Policy‬‭ on‬‭ Authorship <https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/new-acm-policy-on-authorship>‬‭”,‬‭ with‬‭ associated‬‭ FAQ‬‭),‬‭ which‬ includes‬‭ a‬‭ policy‬‭ specific‬‭ to‬‭ the‬‭ use‬‭ of‬‭ generative‬‭ AI‬‭ tools‬‭ and‬‭ technologies,‬‭ such‬‭ as‬ ChatGPT as follows:‬ For reviewers: According to IEEE review policy, "reviewers are not permitted to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help write reviews of IEEE articles. The contents of the article under review are considered confidential information and may not be submitted to any external programs. Additionally, we expect reviewers to be responsible for the comments that they provide during peer review. You were invited to review because of your personal expertise and insight, which cannot be replicated by an AI tool." For authors: According to ACM policy on authorship, "generative AI tools and technologies, such as ChatGPT, may not be listed as authors of an ACM published Work. The use of generative AI tools and technologies to create content is permitted but must be fully disclosed in the work. Basic word processing systems that recommend and insert replacement text, perform spelling or grammar checks and corrections, or systems that do language translations are to be considered exceptions to this disclosure requirement and are generally permitted and need not be disclosed in the work." ‭ The‬‭ official‬‭ publication‬‭ date‬‭ is‬‭ the‬‭ date‬‭ the‬‭ proceedings‬‭ are‬‭ made‬‭ available‬‭ in‬‭ the‬ ACM‬‭ Digital‬‭ Library.‬‭ This‬‭ date‬‭ may‬‭ be‬‭ up‬‭ to‬‭ two‬‭ weeks‬‭ prior‬‭ to‬‭ the‬‭ first‬‭ day‬‭ of‬‭ ICSE‬ 2026.‬‭ The‬‭ official‬‭ publication‬‭ date‬‭ affects‬‭ the‬‭ deadline‬‭ for‬‭ any‬‭ patent‬‭ filings‬‭ related‬‭ to‬ published work.‬ Purchases of additional pages in the proceedings are not allowed.‬ ‭ Lightweight Double-Blind Review Process for Papers As in recent editions, FormaliSE 2026 will use a lightweight double-anonymous process. Authors must omit their names and institutions from the title page, cite their own work in the third person, and omit acknowledgments that may reveal their identity or affiliation. The purpose is to reduce the chances of reviewer bias influenced by the authors’ identities. The double-anonymous process is, however, lightweight, which means that it should not pose a heavy burden for authors, nor should it make a paper's presentation weaker or more difficult to review. Also, advertising the paper as part of your usual research activities (for example, on your personal webpage, in a pre-print archive, by email, in talks or discussions with colleagues) is permitted without penalties. Paper selection Each paper will be reviewed by at least three program committee members who will judge its overall quality based on the following criteria: Full research papers Novelty: the originality of the contribution compared to the state-of-the-art, and the appropriateness of the discussion of relevant related work. Relevance: the significance and potential impact of the research on the FormaliSE community. Soundness: the appropriateness of the research methodology and correctness of the solution. Presentation: the quality of the presentation. Verifiability: The extent to which the paper includes sufficient information to support independent verification and the replication of its contributions. Case study papers Originality: the extent to which the paper advances the current state of the practice Relevance: the significance and potential impact of the research on the FormaliSE community. Significance: the significance of the contribution compared to the existing related works and similar industrial contexts. Generalizability: the extent to which the paper discusses the generalizability of the results (e.g., scalability concerns). Research Ideas & Extended Abstract Novelty: the originality of the contribution compared to the state-of-the-art, and the appropriateness of the discussion of relevant related work. Soundness of the research plan: the appropriateness and soundness of the research plan. Presentation: the quality of the presentation and the relevance for the audience of FormaliSE. FormaliSE 2026 will adopt a lightweight review process: if all the reviewers of a given paper agree that a clarification from the authors regarding a specific question could move the paper from "borderline" to "accept", the chairs will relay the reviewers' questions to the authors by email, and then share their reply with the reviewers in HotCRP. The goal of lightweight responses is to reduce the chance of random decisions on borderline papers. Hence, they will only be used for a minority of submissions; most papers will not require such an author response. Nevertheless, we would ask the corresponding authors of all submissions to make sure that they are available to answer questions by email upon request. Artifact Evaluation Reproducibility of experimental results is crucial to foster an atmosphere of trustworthy, open, and reusable research. To improve and reward reproducibility, FormaliSE 2026 continues its Artifact Evaluation (AE) procedure. An artifact is any additional material (software, data sets, machine-checkable proofs, etc.) that substantiates the claims made in the paper and ideally makes them fully reproducible. Submission of an artifact is optional but encouraged for all papers where it can support the results presented in the paper. Artifact review is single-anonymous (the paper corresponding to an artifact must still follow the double-anonymous submissions requirements) and will be conducted concurrently with the paper reviewing process. Artifacts will be handled by a separate Artifact Evaluation Committee, and the Artifact Evaluation process will be set up such that the anonymization of the corresponding papers will not be compromised. Accepted papers with a successfully evaluated artefact will be awarded the EAPLS Artifact Badges <https://eapls.org/eapls/artifact-badges/> that apply (among "Functional", "Reusable", and "Available"). Awarded badges are to be added to the camera-ready version of the paper. Artifacts will be assessed with respect to their consistency with the results presented in the paper, their completeness, their documentation, and their ease of use. The Artifact Evaluation will include an initial check for technical issues; authors of artifacts may be contacted by email within the first two weeks after artifact submission to help resolve any technical problems that prevent the evaluation of an artifact, if necessary. The results of an artifact evaluation will not be available to the reviewers of the corresponding paper; hence, they will not affect the paper's acceptance decision. However, reviewers will know whether a paper has submitted *any* artifacts; this piece of information may be taken into account to decide whether the paper should be accepted. Thus, if there are justifiable reasons why a paper's artifacts cannot be submitted, they should be pointed out in the paper so that the reviewers can appreciate them and adjust their expectations accordingly. Detailed guidelines for the preparation and submission of artifacts will be described in a dedicated page on FormaliSE 2026's website. Publication All accepted papers are published as part of the ICSE 2026 Proceedings in the ACM and IEEE Digital Libraries. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the conference and present the paper at the conference — physically or, if the circumstances do not allow so, virtually. Failure to register an author will result in a paper being removed from the proceedings.

PEPM 2026 Call for Papers
by Yukiyoshi Kameyama 26 Aug '25

26 Aug '25

CALL FOR PAPERS The 2026 ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulationhttps://popl26.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2026 # Important Dates, AoE, UTC-12h Paper due Fri 25 Oct 2025 Notification Fri 28 Nov 2025 Workshop Tue 13 Jan 2026 # About The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM) has a history going back to 1991 and has been held in conjunction with POPL every year since 2006. The origin of PEPM is in the discoveries of practically useful automated techniques for evaluating programs with only partial input. Over time, PEPM has broadened its scope to include a variety of research areas centered around semantics-based program manipulation — the systematic exploitation of treating programs not only as subject to black-box execution, but also as data structures that can be generated, analyzed, and transformed while establishing or maintaining important semantic properties. # Scope Topics of interest for PEPM 2026 include, but are not limited to: * Program and model manipulation techniques such as: supercompilation, partial evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program adaptation, active libraries, program inversion, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring, decompilation, and obfuscation. * Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific languages, program synthesis by sketching and inductive programming, staged computation, and model-driven program generation and transformation. * Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model manipulation such as: abstract interpretation, termination checking, binding-time analysis, constraint solving, type systems, automated testing and test case generation. * Application of the above techniques including case studies of program manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source) projects and software development processes, descriptions of robust tools capable of effectively handling realistic applications, benchmarking. Examples of application domains include legacy program understanding and transformation, DSL implementations, visual languages and end-user programming, scientific computing, middleware frameworks and infrastructure needed for distributed and web-based applications, embedded and resource-limited computation, and security. * Cross-fertilization with other fields, such as semantics based and machine-learning based program synthesis and program optimisation, and modeling, analysis, and transformation techniques for distributed and concurrent protocols and programs, such as session types, linear types, and contract specifications. This list of categories is not exhaustive, and we encourage submissions describing new theories and applications related to semantics-based program manipulation in general. If you have a question as to whether a potential submission is within the scope of the workshop, please contact the programme co-chairs, Yukiyoshi Kameyama (kameyama at acm.org <https://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce>) and Ningning Xie (ningningxie at cs.toronto.edu <https://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce>). # Submission Categories and Guidelines Three kinds of submissions will be accepted: 1. Regular Research Papers should describe new results, and will be judged on originality, correctness, significance, and clarity. Regular research papers must not exceed 12 pages. 2. Short Papers may include tool demonstrations and presentations of exciting if not fully polished research, and of interesting academic, industrial, and open-source applications that are new or unfamiliar. Short papers must not exceed 6 pages. 3. Talk Proposals may propose lectures about topics of interest for PEPM, existing work representing relevant contributions, or promising contributions that are not mature enough to be proposed as papers of the other categories. Talk Proposals must not exceed 2 pages. References and appendices are not included in page limits. Appendices may not necessarily be read by reviewers. All the submissions should be typeset using the two-column ‘sigplan’ sub-format of the new ‘acmart’ format available at:https://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/__;!!IBzWL…> and submitted electronically via HotCRP: https://pepm26.hotcrp.com <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pepm26.hotcrp.com__;!!IBzWLUs!WSFrG1mXY…> Reviewing will be single-blind. Submissions are welcome from PC members (except the two co-chairs). Accepted regular research papers will appear in formal proceedings published by ACM, and be included in the ACM Digital Library. Accepted short papers do not constitute formal publications and will not appear in the proceedings. At least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the workshop (physically or virtually) to present the work. In the case of tool demonstration papers, a live demonstration of the described tool is expected. ## Chairs Yukiyoshi Kameyama, University of Tsukuba, Japan Ningning Xie, University of Toronto, Canada

[Call for Alain Colmerauer Award] - Nominations for the 2025 edition of the Alain Colmerauer Prize
by Manuel Alejandro Borroto Santana 28 Jul '25

28 Jul '25

*[apologize for multiple postings]* Organized by the Association for Logic Programming In the summer of 1972, Alain Colmerauer and his team in Marseille developed and implemented the first version of the logic programming language Prolog. Together with both earlier and later collaborations with Robert Kowalski and his colleagues in Edinburgh, this work laid the practical and theoretical foundations for the Prolog and logic programming of today. Prolog and its related technologies soon became key tools of symbolic programming and Artificial Intelligence. 2022 was celebrated as the Year of Prolog to recognize the 50th anniversary of these events and highlight the continuing significance of Prolog and Logic Programming both for symbolic, explainable AI, and for computing more generally. The celebration inaugurated the ALP Alain Colmerauer Prolog Heritage Prize (in short: the Alain Colmerauer Prize). 2025 marks the fourth awarding of the Alain Colmerauer Prize. The Prize is given for recent accomplishments and practical advances in Prolog-inspired computing, understood in a broad sense, where foundational, technological and practical contributions are eligible with proven evidence or potential for the future development of Logic Programming. *The 2025 Award* Nominations are sought for the 2025 edition of the Alain Colmerauer Prize. *Eligibility* Any individual or group of individuals can nominate themselves or their institution(s)/organization(s) for the Prize. Nominations should describe work that meets the purpose of the Prize. Submissions that address the well-being of society or of the planet are especially welcome. *Submissions* Nominations should explain the contribution and argue for its present and future significance. The submissions must not exceed three pages plus references and may optionally be accompanied by up to two letters of support no longer than 500 words each. Submissions should be made by the candidates themselves, in pdf, through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=acprize2025 *Selection and award* The Prize is given for depth, novelty, and proven or potential impact. The winner is selected by the Jury from the submitted nominations in consultation with the Executive Committee of the Association for Logic Programming. Furthermore, a shortlist of up to five finalists may also be selected in the process. The Jury will provide a detailed citation that explains the basis of the awarding of the Prize. The winner receives a certificate and cash support of up to 2,000 Euros for attending the conference and award ceremony. If there are multiple winners, this amount is shared. Finalists also receive certificates. *Timeline for the 2025 award* Deadline for submissions: August 19, 2025. Notification of the shortlisted candidates: August 23, 2025. *Award and presentation of the 2025 Prize* The winner of the 2025 Prize will be announced at the 41st International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2025, Rende, Italy 9-19 September 2025). https://iclp25.demacs.unical.it/ *The 2025 AC Prize Jury* David S.

DataMod 2025 - 13th International Symposium "From Data to Models and Back" Toledo, Spain, 10-11 November 2025 Website: https://datamod-symposium.github.io/DataMod-2025/ DataMod 2025 is a satellite event of the 23rd International Conference of Software Engineering and Formal Methods (SEFM 2025): https://sefm-conference.github.io/2025/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract submission deadline (optional): 22 August 2025 Paper submission deadline: 29 August 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTEXT & OBJECTIVES DataMod 2025 aims at bringing together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and research institutions interested in the combined computational modelling methods with data-driven techniques from the areas of knowledge management, data mining and machine learning. Modelling methodologies of interest include automata, agents, Petri nets, process algebras and rewriting systems. Application domains include social systems, ecology, biology, medicine, smart cities, governance, security, education, software engineering, and any other field that deals with complex systems and large amounts of data. Papers can present research results in any of the themes of interest for the symposium, as well as application experiences, tools and promising preliminary ideas. Papers dealing with synergistic approaches that integrate modelling and knowledge management/discovery, or that exploit knowledge management/discovery to develop/synthesise system models are especially welcome. Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on any relevant topic. These can either be normal or short papers. Short papers can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development and which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated. TOPICS Modelling and analysis methodologies include: - Agent-based Methodologies - Automata-based Notations - Big Data Analytics - Cellular Automata - Classification - Clustering, Segmentation and Profiling - Conformance Analysis - Constraint Programming - Data Mining - Differential Equations - Game Theory - Machine Learning - Membrane Systems - Network Theory and Analysis - Ontologies - Optimisation Modelling - Petri Nets - Process Calculi - Process Mining - Rewriting Systems - Spatio-temporal Data Analysis/Mining - Statistical Model Checking - Text Mining - Topological Data Analysis Application domains include: - Biology - Brain Data and Simulation - Business Process Management - Climate Change - Cybersecurity - Ecology - Education - Environmental Risk Assessment and Management - Enterprise Architectures - Epidemiology - Genetics and Genomics - Governance - HCI and Human Behaviour - Open Source Software Development and Communities - Pharmacology - Resilience Engineering - Safety and Security Risk Assessment - Social Good - Social Software Engineering - Social Systems - Sustainable Development - Threat Modelling and Analysis - Urban Ecology - Smart Cities and Smart Lands Synergistic approaches include: (1) Use of modelling methods and notations in a knowledge management/discovery context (2) Development and use of common modelling and knowledge management/discovery frameworks to explore and understand complex systems from the application domains of interest SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All contributions in the form of either - regular (research, tool or position) paper, up to 16 pages (excluding references) - short (research, tool or position) paper, up to 8 pages (excluding references) will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee. Authors are invited to submit their contributions via Easychair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=datamod2025 In addition, presentation reports will be considered having the following form: - presentation report, up to 4 pages Presentation reports concern recent or ongoing work on relevant topics and ideas, for timely discussion and feedback at the workshop. There is no restriction as to previous/future publication of the contents of a presentation. Typically, a presentation is based on a paper which recently appeared (or which is going to appear) in the proceedings of another recognised conference, or which has not yet been submitted. Presentation reports will receive a lightweight review to establish their relevance for DataMod. Authors are invited to submit their presentation report via Easychair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=datamod2025 All papers should be written in English and formatted according to the LNCS style. Paper formatting guidelines according to LNCS style are available here: http://www.springer.com/lncs Detailed information on the submission procedure and format are available on the symposium web page: https://datamod2025.github.io/ Accepted papers (both regular and short) will be included in a dedicated LNCS post-proceedings volume published by Springer after the Symposium. Condition for inclusion in the proceedings is that at least one of the co-authors attends and presents the paper at the Symposium. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission deadline (optional): 22 August 2025 Paper Submission deadline: 29 August 2025 Notification: 30 September 2025 Revised Version: 7 October 2025 Symposium: 10-11 November 2025 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS * TBA PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS * Livia Lestingi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy * Gwen Salaün, Université Grenoble Alpes, France PROGRAM COMMITTEE * Oana Andrei, University of Glasgow * Kyungmin Bae, Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) * Juliana Bowles, School of Computer Science, University of St Andrews * Giovanna Broccia, ISTI-CNR, FMT Lab * Antonio Cerone, Nazarbayev University * Robert Clarisó, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya * Carla Ferreira, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa * Marc Frappier, Université de Sherbrooke * Elisa Gonzalez Boix, Vrije Universiteit Brussel * Riccardo Guidotti, University of Pisa * Alexander Kocian, University of Pisa * Ricardo M.
