RSSR 2026: Call for Papers

RESEARCH AREAS

We invite contributions that leverage Automated Software Engineering techniques—including formal methods, search-based SE, probabilistic programming, and ML-for-SE—to address the following pillars, though topics are not limited to:

1. Foundations of Resilience in SE and RE Defining and modeling resilience metrics for safety-critical, security-sensitive systems and responsible systems Automated elicitation of resilience requirements for Responsible AI. Frameworks for balancing trade-offs between system performance, safety, security, and ethical requirements.

2. Automated Norm-Awareness under Uncertainty Techniques for ensuring systems adhere to societal, legal, and organizational norms, even when operating in unpredictable environments.

3. Resilient & Self-Adaptive Architectures Engineering systems that survive and recover from disruptions. Self-adaptive reconfiguration strategies to maintain security and safety during active cyber-attacks. Automated synthesis of recovery protocols for systems operating under high uncertainty. Architectural patterns for “graceful degradation” when responsible AI constraints are at risk of being breached.

4. Human-in-the-loop Resilience Tools and methodologies that empower developers and operators to manage the complexity of resilient systems. Human-centric automation: balancing machine autonomy with human oversight to maintain systemic resilience.

SUBMISSION PROCESS

RSSR welcomes research papers, experience papers, and tool presentations; nevertheless, papers describing novel research contributions and innovative applications are of particular interest. Contributions can be:

1. Regular Papers (up to 8 pages, including references): This category includes original research contributions, innovative solutions to challenging problems, and practical experiences (e.g., industrial applications, empirical studies, and case studies) at the intersection of resilience engineering, adversarial robustness, and norm-aware software systems for safe, secure, and responsible AI.

2. Short papers (up to 4 pages, including references): This category includes tool demonstrations, position papers, emerging ideas, and visionary contributions addressing challenges and opportunities in resilient, safe, secure, and responsible AI-enabled systems. Tool demonstration papers should clearly describe the proposed tool, its relevance to the workshop themes, and any enhancements made compared to previously published work. Authors of demonstration papers are encouraged to make their tools available to reviewers.

All papers must: be written in English; be in PDF format and conform, at time of submission, to the IEEE Conference Proceedings Formatting Guidelines (title in 24pt font and full text in 10pt type, LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran} without including the compsoc or compsocconf option); not exceed 4 pages (short papers) or 8 pages (regular papers), including references.

Submissions are required to report on original, unpublished work and should not be submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Each submitted paper will undergo a formal peer review process by at least 3 Program Committee members. Accepted papers will be included in the ASE’s conference proceedings. If a submission is accepted, at least one author of the paper is required to register for RRSR 2026 and present the paper. Paper submission is done via HotCRP: https://rssr26.hotcrp.com/
