CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

SAFECOMP 2026
45th International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security
September 22 to 25, 2026, Valencia, Spain

The 45th edition of the International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security (SafeComp 2026), to be held in Valencia in next September, will focus on the theme “Engineering safe and sustainable computing systems”, addressing the challenge of combining safety, security and sustainability in computing infrastructures. Founded in 1979, this conference brings together experts to share advances, experiences, and trends in the safety, reliability, and sustainability of critical systems.

SafeComp 2026 invites proposals for co-located workshops that will complement the main symposium by offering forums for focused discussions on emerging and specialized topics of safety, reliability, and sustainability of critical systems. Workshops may serve as platforms for early-stage idea exchange, in-depth research discussions, work-in-progress reports from research projects, or collaborative working sessions to address current challenges in the field.

Workshops are expected to attract both academic and industrial participants, including researchers, practitioners, and students. Accepted full workshop papers (6 – 12 pages), reviewed according to Springer LNCS guidelines by at least three independent reviewers would be published in the SafeComp 2026 Workshops Proceedings. All workshops will be celebrated in parallel on September 22nd, ahead of the main conference. Authors of workshop papers are kindly invited to participate in the SafeComp main conference.
