- Call for Reviewer Self-Nominations
We invite members of the community who are interested in serving as reviewers for AAMAS 2027 to submit a self-nomination through the following form: https://forms.gle/3vd99yvWqNdYqhYR7 . We warmly welcome self-nominations across all AAMAS areas. In particular, we would be especially pleased to receive additional nominations in Learning and Adaptation (LEARN), Search, Optimization, Planning, and Scheduling (SOPS), Generative and Agentic AI (GAAI), and Game Theory and Economic Paradigms (GTEP), where strengthening the reviewer pool would be particularly helpful.
Reviewing is one of the ways in which we collectively sustain the quality of our research community. The broader the participation, the more evenly the workload can be shared, allowing each reviewer to handle a smaller and more manageable set of papers. The form includes the reviewer eligibility requirements and asks for basic OpenReview information and areas of expertise. Candidates who are recruited will subsequently be asked to complete the official Reviewer Registration in OpenReview, which is a separate step in the AAMAS 2027 reviewing workflow. That registration will collect the more detailed expertise information, including area-specific topics, needed for paper matching and assignment.
Thank you very much for considering contributing to AAMAS 2027.
Best regards,
AAMAS 2027 Program Chairs - Reciprocal Reviewer Policy

STACS 2027: 44th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science
CALL FOR PAPERS- Invited Speakers:
- Mikołaj Bojańczyk (University of Warsaw)
- Jesper Nederlof (Utrecht University)
- Tutorial speaker:
- Inge Li Gørtz (Technical University of Denmark)
- Submissions:
For all details (including instructions regarding AI usage), see the webpage https://events.gwdg.de/event/1460/page/476-submissions. Quick overview:
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on theoretical aspects of computer science. Topics covered by the tracks include, but are not limited to, the following:- Track A. Algorithms, Data Structures, and Complexity
- Track B. Automata, Logic, Semantics and Theory of Programming
- IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: Oct 11, 2026 Rebuttal: Nov 30 -Dec 2, 2026 Notification: Dec 22, 2026 Conference: Mar, 8-12 2027 - Format of submissions:
Submissions should be made through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=stacs2027 Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or a full paper with at most 15 pages; this page limit excludes the title page, the references section, and a possible appendix. In preparing submissions, the usage of the LIPIcs style file is mandatory; no changes to font size, page geometry, etc. are permitted. Please refer to LIPIcs author instructions. Submissions submitted after the deadline will not be considered, and submissions not adhering to the expected format risk rejection without consideration of the content. Submissions should be made to appropriate tracks. The PCs reserve the right to reassign a paper to a different track, if deemed necessary.
The extended abstract should contain a succinct statement of the considered issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. This should be followed by a rigorous derivation of the claimed results. Proofs omitted due to space constraints should be put into an appendix. It is allowed and encouraged to provide the anonymized full version of the paper as the appendix. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings or to journals is not allowed. PC members are allowed to submit their works as well, except for PC chairs. - Double-blind reviewing:
As in the previous years, STACS 2027 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process: submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, important references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web, submit them to arXiv, and give talks on their research ideas. - Rebuttal:
There will be a rebuttal period for authors. Authors will receive the reviews of their submissions and have a few days to prepare and submit rebuttals. These rebuttals become part of the PC discussions, but entail no specific responses. Rebuttals will be handled through EasyChair. - At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register at the conference. For authors who cannot present their paper in person, a possibility for remote presentation will be offered.
FSEN 2027: Twelfth International Conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineering 2027 - Theory and Practice
CALL FOR PAPERS- 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. - IMPORTANT DATES

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:- Full paper for the LNCS proceedings
- Short paper for the LNCS proceedings
- Poster (not included in the proceedings)
- 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.
For further details or specific issues regarding the AI policies of associations supporting FSEN and Springer, please consult:- Springer’s policies and guidances for AI (https://group.springernature.com/gp/group/ai/ai-guidance-for-our-researchers-and-communities)
- Springer’s Code of Conduct (https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/book-authors-code-of-conduct)
- IFIP's Code of Ethics/Conduct (https://www.ifip.org/ifip-code-of-ethics/)
- ACM's Policy on Authorship (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/new-acm-policy-on-authorship)
- 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. - GENERAL CHAIRS
