The workshop will be held in Toulouse, France, (exact venue to be announced in July), on January 13, 2027, jointly with the 3-day INCOSE French Chapter AFIS annual congress.
General Expectations
Papers submitted in response to the open call for papers will undergo aformal peer-review process for acceptance. We expect submissions to clearly articulate new and significant contributions and place them in the context of the existing literature. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop. Inclusion in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library is subject to meeting IEEE quality standards; IEEE reserves the right to decline publication of conference proceedings that do not fulfil these requirements.
Authors of papers with high potential to meet the Systems Engineering (SE) Journal or IEEE Systems Journal standards will be invited to submit an extended version – with less than 25% overlap compared to the workshop version – focusing, for instance, on a more detailed research method, improved (empirical) validation, and extended discussion of applicability and impact.
Important Dates (23:59 UTC/GMT)
All deadlines are at 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE). The submission deadlines shall be rigorously upheld. Requests for extensions will not be accommodated.
