Call For Papers

ICSME 2026 (International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution) is a CCF B / ICORE A / QUALIS A2 conference held in Benevento, Italy on 2026-09-14. The paper submission deadline is 2026-02-27. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-05-29.

The 42nd IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME 2026) is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in software maintenance and evolution. We invite high-quality submissions describing significant and unpublished results related to, but not limited to, any of the following software maintenance and evolution topics (in alphabetical order): Change and defect management Code cloning and provenance Concept and feature location Continuous integration/deployment Empirical studies of software maintenance and evolution Evolution of non-code artifacts Evolution and maintenance of AI-based applications Human factors and social aspects of software maintenance and evolution Large Language Models for software evolution and maintenance tasks Maintenance and evolution of model-based methods Maintenance and evolution of mobile apps Maintenance and evolution of service-oriented and cloud computing systems Maintenance and evolution processes Maintenance versus release process Mining software repositories Productivity of software engineers during maintenance and evolution Release engineering Reverse engineering and re-engineering Run-time evolution and dynamic configuration Software and system comprehension Software migration and renovation Software quality assessment Software refactoring and restructuring Software testing in the context of software evolution (e.g., regression testing, test optimization/selection, or testing in the context of continuous integration) Source code analysis and manipulation Technical Debt ICSME welcomes innovative ideas that are timely, well-presented, and evaluated. All submissions must position themselves within the existing literature, describe the relevance of the results to specific software engineering goals, and include a clear motivation and presentation of the work. All submissions must be in English and follow the paper submission guidelines below.
