ESEC / FSE Conferences

Have an exciting work-in-progress, a bold new idea, or an experience report you’d like to discuss with the community? The FSE 2026 Poster Track is open for submissions and is designed for focused, in-depth interaction beyond a short talk—perfect for getting targeted feedback and starting hallway conversations.

Submit a 2-page, two-column extended abstract (double-anonymous review). If accepted, you’ll present your 24×36 in. poster during the main conference in Montréal (July 5–9, 2026).

FSE 2026 - Posters - FSE 2026 The ACM International Conference on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE) is an internationally renowned forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in the field of software engineering. FSE bring...

Bring your best prompting, fine-tuning, RAG, program synthesis, or multi-agent architecture to ODAI-LIB—the FSE/AIWare 2026 competition on generating software libraries on demand. Instead of a benchmark-only setting, you will demonstrate end-to-end feasibility: generation, testing, and maintenance, with quantitative comparisons to human-written libraries.

Submit a short abstract plus a ≤5-minute demo video during the rolling abstract period (Jan 9–Feb 27, 2026). Full papers (2–4 pages) are due Mar 21, 2026. Finalists present posters and open demos in Montreal, with a live “unseen library” round on July 6.

ODAI-LIB Challenge 2026 The ODAI-LIB Challenge 2026 (On-Demand Libraries: Prompting to Generate an Ecosystem Library) is a competition held as part of the FSE-AIWare 2026 Competition Track. The challenge explores how generative AI techniques can be used to dynamically generate software libraries on demand, addressing chall...

Dependency conflicts still derail real projects—and they’re a perfect target for LLM agents. The Agentic Python Dependency Resolution Challenge (FSE–AIWare @ FSE 2026) invites you to build an open-source tool that can automatically resolve hard Python dependency conflicts.

You’ll get a baseline (PLLM) and the HG2.9K dataset (2,900+ “hard” files). Tools run in Docker and are evaluated under a 10GB VRAM constraint, including a held-out test set. Submit your tool + a short (max 4-page) paper by Feb 28, 2026 (AoE), and present results on July 6 in Montreal.
