January 20, 2026 | | Comments Off on SAFECOMP 2026 Call for Papers
The call for papers for SAFECOMP 2026, which will be held this coming September at the UPV, is now available:
SAFECOMP 2026, 22-25 September 2026, Valencia (Spain)
The theme of SAFECOMP 2026 is โEngineering safe and sustainable computing systemsโ Society increasingly depends on interconnected systems of systems – combining cyber-physical infrastructures, industrial platforms, edge and cloud computing, and AI-enabled services – across domains such as mobility, healthcare, industry and agriculture. These systems not only provide the services that are essential for our lives but also pose unprecedented safety challenges. SafeComp 2026 focuses on engineering approaches to manage safety amid growing complexity, cybersecurity threats and pressing ecological concerns, ensuring that the computing systems remain sustainable and viable in the long term.
SAFECOMP 2026 solicits two types of paper submission (in both cases, up to 14 pages including bibliography):
– Research papers address a research gap and illustrate how the contribution submitted can help improve the state-of-the-art by advancing current knowledge;
– Practical experience reports / tool descriptions provide new insights and valuable support to practitioners. Papers exceeding the page limit will be excluded from the review process.
All papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the International Programme Committee. Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere.
All paper submissions must be formatted according to the LNCS templates provided by Springer. Abstracts and papers should be submitted in PDF through Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=safecomp2026
