-- About FSEN --
Fundamentals of Software Engineering (FSEN) is an international conference that
aims to bring together researchers, engineers, developers, and practitioners
from academia and industry to present and discuss their research work in the
area of formal methods for software engineering. Additionally, this conference
seeks to facilitate the transfer of experience, adaptation of methods, and
where possible, foster collaboration among different groups. The topics of
interest cover all aspects of formal methods, especially those related to
advancing the application of formal methods in the software industry and
promoting their integration with practical engineering techniques. Following
the success of the previous FSEN editions, the next edition of the FSEN
conference will take place at the University of Twente, in Enschede, the
Netherlands, May 24-25, 2027.

-- Paper Submission --
Authors are invited to submit:
* Full papers (up to 16 pages excluding references) describing original
research, applications and tools;
* Short papers (up to 6 pages excluding references) describing ongoing research
or new ideas that have not yet been fully validated;
* Posters (up to 4 pages excluding references) describing ongoing work.
At least one of the authors should register and present the paper at the
conference. Upon request, up to five papers can be accepted by the PC for which
no presence on site is required.
FSEN'27 will follow a single-blind reviewing process. Appendices are optional
and will not be included in the proceedings. All categories of papers must be
submitted electronically in PDF using the online submission process via the
EasyChair conference system at the following link:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fsen2027__;!!IBzWLUs!TfNEcMOFYhsfg5JQVgD9m6xKqaeW7ODIoiJQhCuLxI6YmGLhFD-uD-0DKZo1fRmF-CyJd8LJ96xFD07l9ZGsoaxNniBdHwjKDuTw5ds$
.
Contributions must be written in English, should be formatted according to the
Springer LNCS style (LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates) that can be found at the
following link
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines__;!!IBzWLUs!TfNEcMOFYhsfg5JQVgD9m6xKqaeW7ODIoiJQhCuLxI6YmGLhFD-uD-0DKZo1fRmF-CyJd8LJ96xFD07l9ZGsoaxNniBdHwjKYkNn4W8$
) and not exceed the page limit for the category (including figures and
references). Submissions should use default font sizes and margins, and be in
A4 paper size.
Each submission will be thoroughly reviewed by at least three reviewers
considering scientific originality, significance, relevance to the FSEN
conference, technical soundness, clarity, self-containedness and discussion of
appropriate related work.
The reviewers will be asked to rate the submissions and evaluate whether they
can be accepted as:
1) Full paper for the LNCS proceedings
2) Short paper for the LNCS proceedings
3) Poster (not included in the proceedings)
Papers accepted in the first two categories will be invited for presentation at
the conference. Posters will be illustrated by the authors in separate poster
sessions.
-- Responsible use of generative AI --
Following the tradition of previous editions of FSEN, the proceedings will
published in the LNCS series of Springer. We therefore recommend to carefully
check the Springer policy regarding the use of generative AI. In brief this
policy does allow for the use of AI tools to support the preparation of the
manuscript, but authors must ensure that human expertise is involved in the
editing and fact-checking of AI-generated content. Authors must transparently
declare any use of AI tools in their manuscripts and are fully responsible for
the content and integrity of their work, provided that the intellectual
contributions-such as ideas, analysis, and conclusions-are original and
human-generated; AI cannot be listed as an author or co-author. We further
expect responsible use of AI and that authors commit themselves to maintain the
integrity of scholarly communication. We also require reviewers to adhere to
the non-disclosure of submitted manuscripts. This includes the requirement that
reviews are being performed by the reviewers themselves and that submitted
manuscripts are not being uploaded to AI tools. The use of tools for correcting
spelling and grammar of the review reports themselves is permitted.

-- Proceedings and Special Issue --
The proceedings of FSEN'27 will be published by Springer in the LNCS series.
Following the tradition of FSEN, we plan to have a special issue of the Science
of Computer Programming journal devoted to FSEN'27. After the conference a
selection of papers will be invited for this special issue. The invited papers
should be revised and extended and will undergo a new round of review by an
international program committee. Please see the websites of previous editions
of FSEN for more information on proceedings and special issues related to those
editions.
