ARES 2026 - CALL FOR PAPERS

The 21th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2026) August 24 - August 27, 2026 Linköping, Sweden

https://www.ares-conference.eu/

The 21st International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES) will bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of security, dependability, and privacy.

ARES aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of dependability as an integrative concept that covers amongst others availability, safety, integrity, maintainability, covering important aspects of security in different fields and applications.

ARES emphasizes the interplay between foundations and practical issues of dependability in important areas such as e-government, mobile applications, ubiquitous computing, autonomous computing, edge computing, confidential computing.

ARES is devoted to the critical examination and research challenges of the various aspects of Dependable and Secure Computing and the definition of a future road map.

The acceptance rate of the ARES 2025 conference was 19,5% (full and SoK papers only).

ARES is ranked as B-conference in CORE.

SUBMISSION

ARES 2026 will be published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). The ARES submission system (EasyChair) is available here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ares2026

Authors are invited to submit research and application papers according to the following guidelines:

For the main conference as well as the workshops, submission papers are classified into 4 categories representing original, previously unpublished work:

• full paper (max. 22 pages, including references)
• short paper (max. 11 pages, including references)
• SoK paper (max. 22 pages, including references)
• workshop paper (max. 18 pages, including references)

Formatting Instructions / template: Please read the instructions here: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines Double blind review: ARES requires anonymized submissions – please make sure that submitted papers contain no author names or obvious self-references.

Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the conference.

Publishing preprints to arXiv or other, open repositories is allowed prior to the notification of ARES and does not violate the requirement for novelty. However, authors should use a different title than the submission and they should avoid specifying that the work is under submission to ARES. Reviewers will be asked to not search for and ignore preprints that can deanonymize blinded submission.

Authors must follow AI guidelines stated in Springer’s AI Principles: https://group.springernature.com/gp/group/ai/ai-principles

Important Note: To avoid accepting papers for ARES 2026 which are not presenting original work, your paper will be checked for plagiarism. Self-plagiarism also counts as plagiarism!

Prepare Your APIs For Agentic Consumption

Join the conversation shaping the future of connected enterprise architectures at the Platform Summit 2026. This year, we’ll emphasize the implications of agentic AI on APIs and how to effectively prepare for the new wave of machine-driven API usage.

The rise of AI agents is reshaping how APIs are designed, documented, and secured. Platform Summit 2026 will explore how to ready your systems for machine-driven API consumption, implement emerging standards, and optimize agent experience (AX), while continuing to strengthen the foundational API practices that remain critical to success.

With 60+ expert speakers, panels and networking sessions, Platform Summit 2026 delivers actionable insights for enterprise architects, technologists, and business leaders. Expect deep dives into design, security, orchestration, and real-world API use cases form organizations building the next generation of digital ecosystems and agentic experiences.

This Year We’ll Be Exploring the Following Topics:

• Next-gen API-first strategies: Explore why APIs are at the heart of modern enterprise technology. Learn how to design, secure, standardize, and productionize API-based development patterns. • Identity and access management: Tackle the challenges of identity sprawl, governance, and zero-trust security in an increasingly interconnected and modular enterprise ecosystem. • Data sovereignty and compliance: How are regulations and heightened national priorities for data control impacting API strategies? Discover how to balance security with openness. • Cloud-agnostic architectures: Is the cloud the only option? Learn why modern cloud-native workloads demand deployment-agnostic solutions, whether at the edge, on-premises, or in the cloud. • New advances in AI: Understand the architectural needs of generative AI and autonomous agents and discover how to integrate cutting-edge AI solutions into your enterprise platforms. • Sector-specific case studies: Learn how respected leaders in highly regulated industries, like finance and healthcare, are solving complex architectural challenges, like securing and scaling API-driven microservices ecosystems.

What to Expect at Platform Summit 2026 🎤 Expert panels: Gain insights from influential thought leaders during interactive panels and fireside chats on the most pressing enterprise challenges. 📣 Keynotes and sessions: Explore curated sessions from top-tier speakers to enhance your strategies and stay ahead of emerging trends. 🧩 Solution showcase: Discover advanced solutions in API management, customer identity, and access management, and beyond. 🤝 Networking opportunities: Connect with peers, industry leaders, and visionaries during dedicated breaks, lunches, and an exclusive after-party event.
