    Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering
    Software Engineering for Artificial Intelligence
    Architecture and Design
    Cloud Computing
    Ethics in Software Engineering
    Formal Methods for Software Engineering
    Human Computer Interface (HCI)
    Industrial Aspects of Software Engineering
    Requirements Engineering
    Security and Trustworthy Computing
    Social Aspects including Diversity and Inclusion in Software Engineering
    Software Development Tools
    Software Engineering Education
    Software Engineering Processes including DevOps and DevSecOps
    Testing, Program Analysis, Program Synthesis

Papers will be evaluated on relevance to software engineering, novelty of contributions, thoroughness of evaluation, and clarity of writing.

ISEC 2026 will have two submission deadlines. Papers submitted in the first round will receive one of the following decisions: (i) Accept (ii) Reject (iii) Conditional Accept. Conditionally accepted papers will undergo a shepherding process. Papers submitted in the second round will not have the shepherding option and will be either Accepted or Rejected.
