## Call for papers

We invite submissions of technical research papers describing original and unpublished results on software engineering for self-adaptive and self-managing systems, across the broad spectrum of topics of interest listed below. SEAMS 2027 will use a single-round submission system for the Research Track, with the possibility of submitting a revised version. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE and ACM digital libraries. In addition, authors of distinguished papers will be invited to submit revised and extended versions of their work to a dedicated Special Issue of ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS). Background SEAMS is an ICORE-A ranked conference that applies software engineering methods, techniques, processes, and tools to support the construction of self-adaptive, self-managing, and autonomous systems that provide self-* properties such as self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection. SEAMS brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to investigate, discuss, and advance the fundamental principles, state-of-the-art methods, and practical solutions for engineering self-adaptive and self-managing systems. The conference addresses both long-standing challenges, such as uncertainty, assurance, runtime decision-making, and feedback-loop engineering, and emerging challenges raised by AI-enabled software, foundation models, autonomous agents, adaptive cyber-physical systems, and regulation-aware deployment. Topics of Interest We welcome research contributions to all topics related to engineering self-adaptive and self-managing systems, including but not limited to: Foundational concepts for self-adaptive and self-managing systems Self-* properties, including self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection Uncertainty, partial knowledge, and runtime decision-making for software-intensive systems Runtime models, variability, and feedback-loop engineering MAPE-K and novel adaptation architectures Mixed-initiative systems, human-in-the-loop, human-on-the-loop, and human-AI teaming Socio-technical, ethical, legal, and governance challenges AI, machine learning, and foundation-model-enabled self-adaptation LLM-based, agentic, and multi-agent self-adaptive systems Adaptive prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented adaptation Automatic synthesis techniques Control theory and reinforcement learning for adaptation Simulation, digital twins, and predictive analysis for proactive runtime adaptation Human-centered software development and explainability Requirements engineering for adaptive and autonomous systems Security, privacy, cyber-resilience, and adversary-aware adaptation Architecture, design, and coordination of adaptive systems Testing, verification, validation, certification, and runtime assurance Adaptive safety cases and continuous assurance Evolution, reuse, maintenance, and self-evolution Processes, methodologies, and DevOps for self-adaptive systems Self-adaptation for software engineering, including adaptive development tools and self-healing software pipelines Formal methods for self-* systems Domain-specific languages and programming language support Sustainability-aware, energy-aware, carbon-aware, and resource-aware adaptation Application areas and domains include but are not limited to Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, cloud/fog/edge/mobile computing, edge-cloud continuum systems, bioengineering, quantum computing, robotics, smart environments, smart user interfaces, augmented/mixed reality, web/service-based applications, automotive systems, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and critical infrastructure. We welcome contributions from both academic and industrial perspectives, including papers that advance foundational methods, report practical experiences, present lessons learned from real-world deployments, or identify open challenges arising from industrial practice.
