STAF 2026

The Software Technologies: Applications and Foundations (STAF) 2026 is a federation of leading conferences on software technologies. It was formed after the end of the successful TOOLS federated event in 2012, providing a loose umbrella organisation with a steering committee that aims to provide continuity.

Since last year, The International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE) has joined STAF Conference. This allows us to provide participants with a rich and diverse program, and an overall exciting week of science and research.

The STAF federated event runs annually. The conferences that participate may vary from year to year, but all focus on practical and foundational advances in software technology. The conferences address all aspects of software technology, from object-oriented design, testing, mathematical approaches to modelling and verification, transformation, model-driven engineering, aspect-oriented techniques, and tools.
