33rd Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC 2026)

The Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC) has long been established as a leading regional conference that gathers researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to exchange knowledge and best practices in software engineering, and to address emerging challenges and solutions in software engineering innovation. This year’s APSEC will be held on December 7–10, 2026, in Bali, Indonesia. APSEC 2026 will continue in the tradition of previous editions of this regional conference. As in past APSEC series, the main research track features the most recent and significant innovations in the field of software engineering and all its sub-disciplines. APSEC 2026 also invites submissions of high-quality research papers that describe original and unpublished results on theoretical and empirical software engineering research topics.

APSEC 2026 will offer an extensive program of interest to academia, government, and industry. It will include several distinguished keynote speakers and conference days of paper presentations and demos. A series of exciting tutorials to develop skills in various aspects of software engineering practices is of particular interest to the industry. Co-located workshops offer forums for participants to present novel techniques and methods in specific sub-disciplines of software engineering. This year’s APSEC program also contains the New Faculty Forum and Student Research Competition, which welcome new faculties and students to participate in this exciting event.

Welcome to Bali, Indonesia

Bali, known as the Island of the Gods, is one of the world’s most celebrated destinations — a place where rich cultural heritage, breathtaking natural landscapes, and warm hospitality converge in perfect harmony. Located in the heart of the Indonesian archipelago, Bali offers a uniquely inspiring setting for the 33rd IEEE Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC 2026).

The island is home to ancient Hindu temples, terraced rice paddies, and a vibrant arts tradition that has captivated visitors for centuries. Beyond its natural beauty, Bali has rapidly emerged as a dynamic hub for technology and innovation in Southeast Asia, making it a fitting venue for one of the region’s premier software engineering conferences.

APSEC 2026 will be held 7–10 December 2026 in Bali, during one of the island’s finest seasons — warm, sunny days ideal for both academic engagement and cultural exploration. Delegates will have the opportunity to experience world-class international venues, exceptional local cuisine, and a welcoming atmosphere that reflects the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana — the harmony between people, nature, and the divine.

We warmly invite researchers, practitioners, and engineers from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond to join us in this extraordinary setting, and we look forward to welcoming you to Bali.
