15^th International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications (SEA 2026)

June 27 ~ 28, 2026, Copenhagen, Denmark

Scope & Topics

15^thInternational Conference on Software Engineering and Applications (SEA 2026)provides a premier global forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to share advances in the theory, methodology, and practice of modern software engineering. As software systems grow in scale, intelligence, and complexity, SEA 2026 aims to foster deep discussions and new collaborations that push the boundaries of how software is designed, built, deployed, and evolved.

Authors are invited to contribute original research papers, case studies, survey articles, and industrial experiences that demonstrate significant advances in software engineering, modern application development, and data driven engineering practices.
