Join us in Porto, Portugal

June 7 - 11, 2026

https://www.dtrsociety.org/fsoft2026/

Software engineering faces a critical junction where classical design, modeling, simulation, and verification techniques are being reshaped by the pervasive influence of digital technologies and artificial intelligence. FSOFT aims to address advanced converging technologies and how traditional software engineering practices can adapt, extend, and co-evolve with AI and Digital paradigms.

Professionals from industry, government, and academia, researchers, engineers, practitioners, and students are invited to contribute. FSOFT welcomes 1) full papers presenting significant research, development, application, position, or survey, 2) short papers on work-in-progress, 3) posters, 4) contributed talk presentations, as well as workshops, thematic sessions, and demos.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original, unpublished works, which are not under review in any other conference or journal.
