SCOPE
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various industries, including cybersecurity. As cyber
threats continue to evolve, AI has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing the security of software
and systems. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts
to discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in leveraging AI for secure software
and systems.
We invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the 13th IEEE/ACM International
Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications, and Technologies (BDCAT 2026), with a specific
focus on "Artificial Intelligence for Secure Software and Systems".
Workshop proposals should emphasize innovative research topics and foster discussions on the latest
developments in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and security for software and systems.
