SUMMARY:AI4SE & SE4AI Workshop 2026
DESCRIPTION:New Submission Options and Opportunity to Contribute to Systems Engineering Journal Special Issue\n***All deadlines: Friday\, June 5 at 12pm ET (daytime)***\nThe Systems Engineering Research Center and U.S. Army DEVCOM Armaments Center are pleased to invite submissions for the seventh annual AI4SE & SE4AI Research and Application Workshop planned for September 22-23 and hosted by The George Washington University Trustworthy AI Initiative in Washington\, DC. \nThis year\, three types of submissions are welcome: \n\npaper presentations\, which will be given traditional speaking slots\ninsight sessions\, where practitioners can share new challenges they are encountering and/or trends they are seeing in their domains\ndemo or poster sessions\, where participants can share the state-of-the-art in an interactive format\n\nSubmission Guidelines\nFor the first time\, this year\, the workshop will collaborate with INCOSE’s Systems Engineering journal on a special issue. Abstracts submitted in the presentation track will automatically be considered for an invitation to submit to the special issue. The special issue will have a due date during the workshop week\, when full journal-quality papers will be considered through an expedited peer-review process\, with a target publication date in Winter 2026/Spring 2027. \nWorkshop Theme\nThis year’s conference theme – “Speed and Innovation through AI4SE & SE4AI” – aims to emphasize the importance of sound systems engineering to both deliver mission capabilities quickly and effectively and transform enterprises to leverage the power of AI. As in the past\, the workshop will be organized around SE4AI and AI4SE. \nThe SE4AI track focuses on leveraging systems engineering principles and methodologies to develop safe\, robust\, and efficient AI systems that augment operational capabilities\, while extending and advancing these principles and methodologies in response to the nature of AI enabled systems. \nSpecific research areas in this track include but are not limited to: \n\nAI embedded in complex systems of systems (SoS) and/or teams\nMeasures of trust that include a recognition of human and technology interaction\, including studies on explainability\, interpretability\, and related AI-ilities\nTest and Evaluation (T&E) of AI enabled\, and hybrid human-AI systems across the lifecycle\nSystem design processes that support AI across the lifecycle\, including AI maintenance and sustainment principles and practice\nBidirectionality in human-AI collaborative systems\nCritical aspects of safety\, reliability\, and ethical considerations in developing and deploying AI systems\nArchitectures for AI in systems workflows\n\nThe AI4SE track delves into the application of AI in support of the acquisition process\, by enabling enhanced decision-making\, optimization\, validation\, and verification\, and alleviating mundane tasks. \nSpecific research areas in this track include but are not limited to: \n\nEvolving role of digital transformation and its impact on the workforce\, fostering skill development and adaptation in an AI-driven landscape\nAgentic AI and workflow integration\nAI and cognitive assistants to support tasks from inference\, decision-support and requirements trades to project management\nAI-enabled modeling and simulation\nAI-integrated digital twins\n\nSubmissions targeted at workforce upskilling for both SE4AI and AI4SE are also welcome. \nPaper Presentation Guidelines\nSubmissions must contain enough technical content for the committee to judge the quality and potential impact of the results. Files should be uploaded as a PDF. \n\nTitle: 200-character limit\nPrimary Author/Presenter: Full name\, title and organization should be visible at the top of page 1.\nAdditional Authors: Any additional authors and/or presenters should be listed with their organization at the top of page 1.\nExtended Abstract: 3 pages maximum\nThe abstract must clearly state the objectives\, methodology\, expected or achieved outcomes of your research\, and explain the relevance of your work to practice.\nResearch Area: Indicate the specific research area (bullets listed above) you are addressing within the broad tracks of SE4AI or AI4SE.\nReferences: An additional PDF page may be included to contain endnote references\, graphics\, and links to faculty/researcher bios and curriculum vitae.\n\nVisit the 2025 workshop event page to see presentation slides from successful abstracts. \nThe deadline for submitting a paper presentation abstract is June 5 at 12pm ET (daytime). All materials must be approved for public release. \nPaper Presentation Submission Form\nInsight Session Guidelines\nInsight session submissions must state the problem being addressed and relevance to your context. Presentations selected in this track will be short – 5 minutes – focusing on the core “insight.” \n\nTitle: 200-character limit\nAll Contributors: Full name\, organization\, and contact information should be visible at the top of page 1.\nDescription: 1-page limit\nThe abstract must describe the problem being identified or solved and explain what audience members will learn from the session. The workshop organizers are not looking for publicity about a new tool; rather they want you to bring focus to important problems where others might contribute. Files should be uploaded as a PDF.\nResearch Area: Indicate the specific research area (bullets listed above) that is most closely aligned with your insight.\n\nThe deadline for submitting an insight session is June 5 at 12pm ET (daytime). All materials must be approved for public release. \nInsight Session Submission Form\nDemo Session Guidelines\nDo you have a new tool or capability to demonstrate? This year the AI4SE & SE4AI workshop will have tabletop space to accommodate demonstrations. The expectation is that attendees will be exposed to new tools and learn something about the state-of-the-art. \n\nTitle: 200-character limit\nAll Contributors: Full name\, organization\, and contact information should be visible at the top of page 1.\nDescription: 1-page limit\nThe abstract must describe what will be included in the demo\, what is novel about it\, and what attendees would learn from visiting your table. Files should be uploaded as a PDF.\n\nThe deadline for submitting a demo session is June 5 at 12pm ET (daytime). All materials must be approved for public release. \nDemo Session Submission Form\nContact for Questions\nIf you have any questions about the submission process\, contact SERC Communications Manager Alan Skontra at askontra@stevens.edu.
