*** Last Call for Workshop Papers ***

International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines,

and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026)

29 September - 2 October 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina

Limassol, Cyprus

https://conf.researchr.org/home/variability-2026

VARIABILITY is a new conference that has been formed by the merger 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,

ranked as a top conference), 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).

This is the last call for papers for the two workshops to be collocated with VARIABILITY

2026. VARIABILITY workshop papers will be published in a volume of the conference

proceedings published by Springer in LNCS.

Tenth International Workshop on Languages for Modelling Variability (MODEVAR

2026)

https://modevar.github.io/

Feature models were invented in 1990 and have been recognized as one of the main

contributions to the Software Product Line community. Although several attempts have

been made to establish and study a sort of standard variability modeling language (e.g.,

OVM, CVL, TVL, .) there is still no consensus on a simple feature modeling language.

There can be many motivations to have one but among others, there is one that is very

important: information sharing among researchers, tools, or developers. Following the

spirit of the previous MODEVAR workshops, this meeting plans to be a full-day, interactive

event where all participants shall share knowledge about how to build up a simple feature

model language that the community can agree on.

First International Workshop on Generative AI and Variability (GAIV 2026)

https://sites.google.com/view/gaiv-2026

The Workshop on Generative AI and Variability (GAIV 2026) invites high-quality

contributions from researchers and practitioners in software engineering, artificial

intelligence, and related disciplines, focusing on the intersection of generative AI (GenAI)

and variability-intensive systems. As configurable systems and GenAI technologies rapidly

evolve, their interaction raises new opportunities and challenges: GenAI can automate

variability engineering tasks, while variability introduces complexity in AI pipelines,

prompts, and generated artifacts. GAIV provides a dedicated forum to explore this

emerging research space and foster collaboration between the variability and AI-in-SE

communities.
