Call For Papers

VARIABILITY 2026 (International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration) is an academic conference held in Limassol, Cyprus on 2026-09-29. The paper submission deadline is 2026-04-02. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-06-01.

The International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026) invites high-quality contributions from researchers and practitioners in software engineering, systems engineering, and related disciplines focussing on a broad spectrum of methods, concepts, and tools for variability. VARIABILITY aims to be the premier forum for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and results in all aspects of software and systems variability management, reuse, software configuration, and customization. As software and systems become increasingly configurable, reusable, and adaptable, managing their variability across all lifecycle phases is more critical—and more challenging—than ever. VARIABILITY 2026 seeks to bring together the diverse communities that address these challenges from theoretical, technical, and practical perspectives. VARIABILITY results from a merge 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), 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). VARIABILITY is by design open as a conference. It welcomes new fields of variability-intensive research, such as artificial intelligence, hybrid software-hardware systems, etc. For this first edition of VARIABILITY, we strive to continue the success of the predecessor conferences ICSR, SPLC, and VaMoS by welcoming high-quality submissions for the research track in numerous closely related areas, such as systems and software product lines, systems and software reuse, configurable systems and software, product configuration, and systems and software variability. We will award the best research paper and the best artifact paper. Topics of Interest We invite contributions on variability management, reuse, and configuration across all phases of the software and systems lifecycle. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Requirements & Domain Engineering Domain analysis and variability modeling Decision modeling and support Customization and personalization specification Requirements variability and traceability Architecture & Design Variability-aware software architectures Architecture-centric product line engineering Model-driven engineering (MDE) Multi-product lines, program families, product lines of product lines, software ecosystems Implementation & Code Generation Generative programming and code synthesis Modularization techniques for reusable code Programming languages and frameworks for variability Open-source strategies for software reuse Testing, Verification & Quality Assurance Testing and analysis of configurable systems Safety and security in variable systems Formal Methods for Software Product Lines Non-functional properties: quality-aware analysis, quality-driven configuration Reuse in testing, verification, and quality assurance Evolution, Maintenance & Operation Refactoring and restructuring of configurable systems Reverse engineering, variability mining, and refactoring Runtime variability and dynamic (software) product lines Maintenance strategies for large-scale reused systems Variability in DevOps and CI/CD pipelines AI and Data-Driven Methods Machine learning for variability management AI-assisted product configuration Data and repository mining from product lines and configuration histories Recommendation systems for reuse and customization Industrial Applications and Tool Support Variability and reuse in AI, cyber-physical systems, robotics, automotive, aerospace, quantum computing, etc. Sustainable technologies for variation and sustainable software reuse approaches Human, organizational, and social aspects of variable systems and software Industrial case studies and lessons learned Tools support for all activities in variability management, configuration, and reuse
