DEBT 2026: Call for Papers
================================================================================ DEBT 2026, Workshop co-located with ECOOP 2026, Brussels, Belgium Fourth Workshop on Future Debugging Techniques (https://2026.ecoop.org/home/debt-2026#Call-for-Papers) ================================================================================
Important Dates ----------------------- * Abstract submission deadline: Sat 28 Feb 2026 * Paper submission deadline: Sat 7 Mar 2026 * Author notification: Wed 15 Apr 2026 * Workshop: Monday 29 June 2026
================================================================================
DEBTâ26 is looking to advance state-of-the-art to debug modern software. We welcome researchers from all related areas aimed at helping with the hard task of diagnosing the root cause of bugs, including dynamic and static debugging techniques, online and postmortem debuggers, delta debugging, automatic bug finding, novel visualization techniques for debugging programs, etc.
The workshop aims to gather the community and foster discussion from different perspectives. That is why we seek submissions in the form of papers as well as talks and tool demonstrations.
The workshop is a venue for all approaches to debugging. A non-exclusive list of topics of interest is:
Debugging techniques, from static to dynamic techniques. Innovative visualisation techniques. Techniques targeted specific programming models and execution models (e.g., concurrent and parallel programming, microservices, distributed ledgers, web, etc. ) or hardware (e.g., debugging micro-controllers, mobile devices, Big Data applications, etc.). Case studies and evaluation of such techniques, e.g., user studies on visualisation tools, debuggers, etc. Surveys, taxonomies of bugs and bug patterns, and current practices/uses of debugging approaches.
Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines for ACM sigplan papers (\documentclass[sigplan,screen]{acmart}), see https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ <https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/> for details.
Submissions should be made via Easychair using the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=debt2026 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=debt2026> The accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library, though authors will be able to opt out of this publication, if desired. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the workshop and attend the event to present the work, and participate in the discussions.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
