Scope
The 15th International 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.
The conference brings together leading voices from academia and industry to explore emerging paradigms in software engineering, including AI assisted development, cloud native architectures, DevOps and automation, software security, cyber physical systems, and data intensive engineering. With the rapid rise of intelligent tools, large scale distributed systems, and autonomous software ecosystems, SEA 2026 serves as a vital platform for understanding the future of software engineering and shaping its next generation of innovations.
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.
