REBASE industry trackSPLASH/ISSTA 2026
The SPLASH/ISSTA 2026 REBASE industry track brings together industry practitioners and the academic community in the fields of programming languages and software engineering. We will have a mix of exciting keynote speakers, invited talks, and an open call for presentations. The goal is to exchange and learn about challenges in practical settings, novel ideas from research that could help solving those problems, celebrating past achievements in the two spheres, and discovering new opportunities for collaboration for the future. We are looking forward to seeing you in Oakland in 2026!
Call for Presentations
We will have a call for presentations around spring 2026 (the details are still to be determined) that is open to any practitioner and academic to submit a talk proposal in the form of an extended abstract, slide deck, or an archival or PDF version of a (possibly already existing) blog post. We will aim to accept presentations that are interesting to the SPLASH/ISSTA audience, and we will be flexible on the format of these submissions.
We welcome content from all areas of industry and for all programming languages and software engineering techniques, tools, methodologies, processes, and practices applicable at any point in the software lifecycle.
- Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to:
- Design and implementation of programming languages and DSLs, both public and internal
- Programming language extensions and new features
- Generative AI for software development
- Program synthesis
- Formal methods
- Static analysis
- Automated testing
- Compilers
- IDEs and other development environments
- Linters, bug detection, and fuzzing
Appropriate formats include, but are not limited to:
- Experience reports with deployed systems
- Empirical studies with industrial developers
- Traditional research papers
The talks will be approximately 30 minutes, with time for questions and answers afterwards. We will select talks with a lightweight reviewing process and are evaluating submissions based on quality of presentation, whether the topic is interesting to the SPLASH/ISSTA audience, and takes place in an industry or applied research setting. The extended abstracts, talk proposals, and if the speakers wish, their slides, will be published on the REBASE website.
