International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): Last Call for Workshop Papers
George Angelos Papadopoulos
*** Last Call for Workshop Papers ***
International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines,
and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026)
29 September - 2 October 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina
Limassol, Cyprus
https://conf.researchr.org/home/variability-2026
VARIABILITY is a new conference that has been formed by the merger of three prominent
conferences focussing on software and systems variability, configuration and reuse: SPLC
(the International Systems and Software Product Line Conference, 29 successful editions,
ranked as a top conference), VaMoS (the International Working Conference on Variability
Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems, 19 successful editions), and ICSR (the
International Conference on Systems and Software Reuse, 22 successful editions).
This is the last call for papers for the two workshops to be collocated with VARIABILITY
2026. VARIABILITY workshop papers will be published in a volume of the conference
proceedings published by Springer in LNCS.
Tenth International Workshop on Languages for Modelling Variability (MODEVAR
2026)
Feature models were invented in 1990 and have been recognized as one of the main
contributions to the Software Product Line community. Although several attempts have
been made to establish and study a sort of standard variability modeling language (e.g.,
OVM, CVL, TVL, .) there is still no consensus on a simple feature modeling language.
There can be many motivations to have one but among others, there is one that is very
important: information sharing among researchers, tools, or developers. Following the
spirit of the previous MODEVAR workshops, this meeting plans to be a full-day, interactive
event where all participants shall share knowledge about how to build up a simple feature
model language that the community can agree on.
First International Workshop on Generative AI and Variability (GAIV 2026)
https://sites.google.com/view/gaiv-2026
The Workshop on Generative AI and Variability (GAIV 2026) invites high-quality
contributions from researchers and practitioners in software engineering, artificial
intelligence, and related disciplines, focusing on the intersection of generative AI (GenAI)
and variability-intensive systems. As configurable systems and GenAI technologies rapidly
evolve, their interaction raises new opportunities and challenges: GenAI can automate
variability engineering tasks, while variability introduces complexity in AI pipelines,
prompts, and generated artifacts. GAIV provides a dedicated forum to explore this
emerging research space and foster collaboration between the variability and AI-in-SE
communities.
