EAIS 2026 - Special Session on AI-based Evolving Software Systems
co-located with theÂ
IEEE International Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems 2026 (IEEE EAIS 2026)
September 21 - 23, 2026, Pisa, Italy
September 21 - 23, 2026, Pisa, Italy
Modern software development takes place in environments where requirements change, code evolves continuously, and security threats emerge at an increasing pace. Classical software engineering practices, which rely on static analysis and predefined workflows, often struggle to cope with this level of variability. The purpose of the Special Session AI based Evolving Software Systems is to investigate how Artificial Intelligence can support software systems that need to adapt, learn, and improve over time. The session focuses on methods, models, and tools that exploit intelligent techniques to enhance quality, resilience, and security along the entire software lifecycle. The scope includes research on adaptive and lifelong learning models for source code analysis, approaches for detecting and predicting vulnerabilities, techniques that identify and manage concept drift in software repositories, and the use of Large Language Models for incremental development, secure programming practices, automated documentation, and real time risk assessment. The session also welcomes work on multi-agent systems for planning and coordination, context aware AI for software evolution, and explainable or knowledge based methods that allow developers to understand and trust adaptive software analyses. Empirical studies, industrial experiences, and demonstrations of tools that show how AI can support evolving software systems are strongly encouraged.
By bringing together researchers and practitioners from Artificial Intelligence, software engineering, cybersecurity, and software maintenance, the session aims to promote the exchange of ideas, highlight emerging challenges, and define future research directions for intelligent and continuously evolving software systems.
The Special Sessione proceedings will be inserted in the IEEE EAIS 2026 conference and will become part of the whole proceedings.
