7^th International Conference on Software Engineering, Security and Blockchain (SESBC 2026)

April 18 ~ 19, 2026, Melbourne, Australia

Hybrid -- Registered authors can present their work online or face to face.

Scope & Topics

The 7^th International Conference on Software Engineering, Security and Blockchain (SESBC 2026) brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to explore the latest advances at the intersection of software engineering, cybersecurity, and distributed ledger technologies. As modern systems grow in scale, complexity, and interconnectedness, the need for robust engineering practices, secure architectures, and trustworthy decentralized solutions has never been more critical. SESBC 2026 provides a rigorous peer reviewed forum for presenting innovative research results, practical implementations, case studies, and emerging trends that address these challenges.

Authors are invited to submit high quality, original contributions that showcase significant progress in software engineering methodologies, secure software development, blockchain foundations, smart contract security, and related domains. Submissions may include theoretical insights, empirical studies, experimental evaluations, system designs, tools, frameworks, and industrial experiences. While the conference highlights key thematic areas, it welcomes work across the broader landscape of software engineering, security, and blockchain research.
