The ISSRE 2026 Doctoral Symposium is intended to bring together PhD students working on innovative research for improving, monitoring, and assessing the reliability, dependability, and security of software systems, and give them the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a constructive, friendly, and international atmosphere. The goals of the Doctoral Symposium are:<\/p>\n
The authors of the selected papers will present their work and receive feedback both from a panel of experts from academia and industry and from other Doctoral Symposium students. The students will also have the opportunity to seek advice on various aspects of completing a PhD, such as how to perform research, how to design and execute empirical research, etc.<\/p>\n
The papers accepted and presented at the Doctoral Symposium will be published in the supplementary conference proceedings of ISSRE 2026 and participants in the doctoral symposium will be given the opportunity to present a poster about their dissertation research at the conference.<\/p>\n
