34^th International Workshop on Software Measurement (IWSM) and the 19^th International Conference on Software Process and Product 

Measurement (MENSURA) 

 Sept. 23-25, 2026 

Urla, Izmir, Turkey 

The 34^th International Workshop on Software Measurement (IWSM) and the 19^th International Conference on Software Process and Product Measurement (MENSURA) will be held in Urla, Izmir, Turkey, Sept 23-25, 2026. 

IWSM-MENSURA is the premier international conference on software measurement. Over the past three decades, the conference has built its reputation by attracting leading-edge researchers, leaders, and innovators with talks, tutorials, and discussions. The main goal is to share experiences, challenges, and solution approaches to facilitate technology transfers from researchers and world industry experts. IWSM-MENSURA is one of the pioneer conferences in attracting industry participation, with each year 50-60% of its participants from the industry, either as speakers or as attendees. Therefore, IWSM-MENSURA is quite unique in its rich discussions on the applicability of software quality and software measurement research for decision making in organizations. 

We invite papers from researchers and practitioners in all fields related to software measurement, software quality, and project management, particularly those addressing emerging technologies and paradigms such as Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0, IoT, DevOps, Quantum Software, Blockchain, and Metaverse. We welcome both theoretical contributions and practical experience reports that support data-driven decision making in software organizations.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• SOFTWARE PRODUCT QUALITY AND RELIABILITY
  • Reliability, Security, Availability, and Safety of Software Products

•   Final version: July 15th, 2026

 Submission Guidelines 

 All submissions must be done electronically in PDF format via the Easychair System for IWSM-MENSURA-2026. 

• A regular paper must have at least 10 standard pages and include an appropriate number of references. 
• A short paper must be between 5 and 9 standard pages and also include references. The title page must contain a short abstract.
• An abstract is a paper with a title, author and abstract but without a body and without references. Such papers are common for invited talks. 
• Papers must be written in English. 
• Paper submissions must be original contributions that have neither been published previously nor submitted to other conferences or journals while being submitted to IWSM-MENSURA-2026. 
• Authors are required to declare and describe the specific contributions of any GenAI tools or services used during the preparation of their work. This ensures transparency and provides readers, editors, and CEUR-WS with a clear understanding of the role played by GenAI in producing the submitted work. Therefore, papers must comply with the CEUR-WS GenAI Policy.

Authors are encouraged to adhere to the best practices of Reproducible Research (RR), by making available data and related tools for reproducing the results reported in their papers. 

• For each accepted paper, at least one author must register to the conference and present the paper.  
• Final paper presentations must be submitted one week before the conference to allow posting them on the conference website on time for the conference itself. 

Publication

The IWSM-MENSURA 2026 proceedings will be published with CEUR. Authors must use the new CEUR-ART style for writing papers to be published with CEUR-WS.  Overleaf page for LaTeX users is available as a template. You can also download an offline version with the style files from http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. It contains the LaTeX CEURART style and also the ODT (LibreOffice) template file. Do not use Word for the ODT template. We require that the Libertinus font family is used in CEURART. Instructions on installing these fonts are found in the ODT template.
