SEAMS 2027 (International Symposium on Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems) is a ICORE A / QUALIS B3 conference held in Dublin, Ireland on 2027-04-26. The paper submission deadline is 2026-10-21. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-12-03.
We invite submissions of technical research papers describing original and unpublished results on software engineering for self-adaptive and self-managing systems, across the broad spectrum of topics of interest listed below.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
