Call for Workshop & Tutorial Proposals

Call for Workshops

In SANER 2026, we solicit proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference. Workshops can be full or half-day and should highlight a specific topic of interest related to software analysis, evolution, and reengineering. We encourage workshop organizers to include activities that provide their participants with a true workshop experience.

All workshops will tentatively be scheduled for the first day of the conference (17 March, 2026), the day before the main conference.

Should you be interested in joining SANER, please keep the following deadlines in mind:

Submission Instructions

Proposal submission: By 20 August, 2025 AoE, the workshop proposal (in the form of call for papers) should be submitted to the workshops EasyChair page: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=saner2026 The submission could be a PDF file (no more than two pages) or a public link to a call for papers webpage.

The call for papers should include:

• a workshop title,
• a description of the workshop topic and scope,
• an indication of whether the workshop will take ½ day or a full day,
• a link to the workshop website,
• and the contact information.

The website should be live and include (at least) the following information: the topic of the workshop, its scope, list of topics of interest, names of the organizing committee members and their affiliations, types of submissions and the deadlines (see below).

Evaluation Criteria

The proposals will be evaluated by the workshops track chairs based on the novelty of the workshop topic, its importance to the field, as well as the composition of the organizing team.

Workshop PC and Submission system

No later than mid of-September 2025, the workshop PC should have been finalized and the paper submission system should be live. Workshop organizers are free to select EasyChair, HotCRP or any other commonly used paper submission system.

Call for Tutorials

The SANER 2026 Workshops and Tutorials track invites practitioners and researchers to deliver insightful tutorials on various topics related to Software Analysis, Evolution, and Reengineering. These tutorials aim to expand the community’s understanding of advanced software engineering topics, valuable tools and technologies, as well as research methodologies.

We are soliciting abstracts with the intention of presenting a tutorial in the following categories:

1 - Technical Tutorial: Speakers present the use of a tool or technology that aids the developers in Software Analysis, Evolution, and Reengineering.

2 - Research problem: Speakers provide a general view of the state-of-the-art for a topic related to Software Analysis, Evolution, and Reengineering and further present details of a specific research problem that still needs to be addressed by the community.

Submission

The proposal should not exceed one page (with up to one additional page for references) and should outline the talk. Furthermore, it should follow the IEEE Conference Proceedings Formatting Guidelines (title: 24pt, text: 10pt; LaTeX users: \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}). All proposals must be submitted in PDF format through https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=saner2026. The submission should include:

• Title,
• Type of proposal (Technical Tutorial or Research problem),
• Names of presenters and their affiliation,
• Duration,
• Outline of the tutorial talk,
• Target audience (e.g., PhD students, early career researchers, all researchers, practitioners),
• Learning objectives,
• Details on any hands-on activities (e.g., participants using a tool or completing exercises) and the necessary computer specifications,
• Preferred dates (please note that date preferences cannot be guaranteed).

Evaluation Criteria

• Overall quality of the proposal,
• Relevance to the SANER audience,
• Level of interest they believe the tutorial will attract,
• Experience of the presenters,
• Avoidance of duplication, in case of multiple tutorials on the same topic.
