AEiC 2027 will bring together international experts in Berlin from June 8 to 11. The conference will focus on reliable software, cybersecurity, and AI. It will provide decision-makers and technology leaders with insights into secure, future-proof systems and facilitate the international exchange of knowledge.
The “31st Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies (AEiC 2027)“ as a leading international forum for providers, practitioners, and researchers in reliable software technologies will take place from June 8th to 11th, 2027 in Berlin, Germany. The conference presentations shall illustrate current work in the theory and practice of the design, development, and maintenance of long-lived, high-quality software systems for a challenging variety of application domains.
According to the program there will be ample time for keynotes, Q&A sessions, discussions and social events. As participants practitioners and researchers from industry, academia, and government organisations active in the promotion and development of reliable software technologies are invited to join this conference.
Submissions welcome: Keynote talks, specific tracks, vendor exhibition, parallel tutorials and satellite workshops
The conference schedule comprises keynote talks, specific tracks, a vendor exhibition, parallel tutorials as well as satellite workshops. The conferene topis at a glance:
- Journal track papers to present journal-level research advances supported by solid theoretical foundation and thorough evaluation.
- Regular track papers to present conference-level (full paper) research advances.
- Industrial track contributions to highlight industrial open challenges and/or the practitioners‘
- side of a challenging case study or industrial project.
- Work-in-progress track papers to illustrate novel research ideas that are still at an initial stage – between conception and first prototype.
- Tutorials to guide attenders through a hands-on familiarisation with innovative developments or with useful features related to reliable software.
- Workshops to provide discussion forums on the conference topics.
- Company presentations and exhibitions to showcase products and services.

Variety of conference topics
The topics of interest for the conference include the following aspects but are not limited to these. More specific topics and submission methods are described on the conference website.
Topics are e.g.:
- Cybersecurity
- Safe and secure software for critical systems and infrastructures
- High-integrity systems and reliability
- Software and AI for space missions, e.g. “Artemis“
- AI for safety-critical and high-integrity systems engineering and applications
- Automated coding for real-time and embedded systems
- “Ada“ language and technologies
- “SPARK“, “Rust“ and formally verified systems
- Formal methods, testing, and model-based engineering of critical systems
- Applications and experimental evaluations in relevant domains
Interested people may consult the submission webpage for detailed information on any submission process.
Call for Journal Track Submissions
The conference includes a journal track, which seeks original and high-quality papers, not submitted elsewhere, which describe mature research work on the conference topics. Accepted journal track papers will be published in a Special Issue of „Elsevier’s Journal of Systems Architecture“ (JSA) (Q1 ranked, CiteScore 10.5, impact factor 4.1).
Contributions should not exceed 25 pages (in case the authors need more pages the journal track chairs need to be contacted). JSA has adopted the “Virtual Special Issue“ model to speed up the publication process, where “Special Issue“ (SI) papers are published in regular issues but marked as “SI papers“. Acceptance decisions are made on a rolling basis.
Therefore, authors are encouraged to submit papers early and need not wait until the submission deadline. Authors who have successfully passed the first round of review (including major revisions) will be invited (and required) to present their work at the conference.
Call for Regular Track Submissions
Furthermore the conference includes a regular track, which seeks proceedings-level, original and high-quality submissions, not submitted elsewhere, which describe mature research work on the conference topics.
Accepted papers presented at the conference will be published in the “Open Access Series“ in “Informatics“ (OASICS series) and should not exceed 16 pages, excluding references.
Call for Industrial Track Submissions
The conference seeks also industrial-practitioner presentations that deliver insight into the challenges of developing reliable software. Especially welcome kinds of submissions are listed on the conference web site.
Given their applied nature, such contributions will be subject to a peer-review process by practitioners. Interested authors shall submit a 2-page abstract. Authors will also be invited to expand their contributions into full-fledged articles for publication in the “Ada User Journal“, which will form the proceedings of the industrial track of the conference.
Call for Work-in-progress Track Submissions
The work-in-progress (WiP) track sets focus on two kinds of submissions: (a) ongoing research and (b) early-stage ideas. Ongoing research submissions are 4-page papers describing research results that are not mature enough to be submitted to the journal or regular tracks.
Early-stage ideas are 1-page summaries that pitch new research directions within the scope of the conference. Both kinds of submissions must be original and shall undergo anonymous peer review. Submissions by recent M.Sc. graduates and Ph.D. students are especially sought.
Accepted contributions will be presented in the WiP track and their authors will be offered the opportunity to publish their contribution as an expanded 4-page article in the „Ada User Journal“, which will form the proceedings of the WiP track of the conference.
Call for Tutorials
The conference seeks tutorials in the form of educational seminars on themes falling within the conference scope. Tutorial proposals shall include a title, an abstract, a description of the topic, an outline of the presentation, the proposed duration (half-day or full-day), the intended level of the contents (introductory, intermediate, or advanced), and a statement motivating attendance.
If the tutorial has been presented elsewhere attendance numbers should be given. Tutorial proposals can be submitted at any time but no later than the deadline.
The authors of accepted full-day tutorials with a minimum of 5 participants will receive a complimentary conference registration, halved for half-day tutorials. The „Ada User Journal“ will offer space for the publication of summaries of the accepted tutorials.
Call for Workshops
The conference welcomes also satellite workshops on themes that fall within the conference scope. Proposals may be submitted for half- or full-day events, to be scheduled on Tuesday or Friday of the “AEiC conference“.
Workshop organizers shall also commit to producing the proceedings of the event, for publication in the „Ada User Journal“. Workshop proposals can be submitted at any time but no later than the deadline.
Call for Exhibitors and Sponsors
The conference seeks vendor and technology exhibits as well as event sponsors. Exhibitors and sponsors will be given the opportunity for presentation; details are available on request.
The “AEiC 2027“ venue
The conference will take place at the “Holiday Inn Berlin City-West“, Rohrdamm 80, 13629 Berlin, Germany. Rooms have been set aside at the hotel – attendees are urged to stay at this hotel.
Berlin is the capital of Germany. As the birthplace of Konrad Zuse and the first modern computer, Berlin is the perfect backdrop for bringing Europe’s reliable software community together.
