The Organizing Committee warmly welcomes you to the 36th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE, 2025) in São Paulo, Brazil. Over the years, ISSRE has evolved into a venue for presenting the greatest global research on software reliability. We are looking forward to a conference full of ideas from industry and academia.

ISSRE 2025 will be held in São Paulo from October 21st to 24th, 2025. São Paulo is a major city in South America with a considerable global impact on trade, economics, arts, and entertainment. Greater São Paulo is the most populated region in Brazil and one of the world's, with approximately 20 million people. The city is a cultural hub in Latin America, with monuments, parks, and museums including the Latin America Memorial, Ibirapuera Park, Ipiranga Museum, Pinacoteca, Cinemateca, Itaú Cultural, São Paulo Art Museum, Catavent Museum, Football Museum, Portuguese Language Museum, and Image and Sound Museum.

It also hosts events including the São Paulo International Art Biennial, Sao Paulo Fashion Week, Sao Paulo Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza, Spring Sound, The Town Festival, and Comic Con Experience. The diversity of peoples and cultures that founded the city also makes the region's rich gastronomy a major tourist attraction. This statement is supported by the city's diverse gastronomic offerings, which include over 50 different types of cuisine, and several of its restaurants are among the best in the world, ranking it among the top 10 dining destinations on the planet.

We look forward to meeting you in São Paulo, Brazil!

Topics of interest include development, analysis methods and models throughout the software development lifecycle, and are not limited to:

Primary dependability attributes (i.e., security, safety, maintainability) impacting software reliability
Secondary dependability attributes (i.e., survivability, resilience, robustness) impacting software reliability
Reliability threats, i.e. faults (defects, bugs, etc.), errors, failures
Reliability means (fault prevention, fault removal, fault tolerance, fault forecasting)
Metrics, measurements and threat estimation for reliability prediction and the interplay with safety/security
Reliability of software services
Reliability of open source software
Reliability of Software as a Service (SaaS)
Reliability of software dealing with Big Data
Reliability of model-based and auto-generated software
Reliability of software for systems based on artificial intelligence
Reliability of software within specific types of systems (e.g., autonomous and adaptive, green and sustainable, mobile systems)
Reliability of software within specific technological spaces (e.g., Internet of Things, Cloud, Semantic Web/Web 3.0, Virtualization, Blockchain)
Normative/regulatory/ethical spaces pertaining to software reliability
Societal aspects of software reliability

Conference Proceedings
The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS). Papers presented at the conference will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore and to all of the A&I (abstracting and indexing) partners (such as the EI Compendex).

Paper Submission
Papers are submitted via Easychair (link to be provided soon!).
Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee through a double-blind reviewing process, with a limited use of outside referees. Papers will be held in full confidence during the reviewing process, but papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be rejected without review.

Changes in the number and order of authors will not be allowed after the paper acceptance.

Authors must anonymize their submissions according to the guidelines given above. Submissions violating the formatting and anonymization rules will be desk rejected without review. There will be no extensions for reformatting.
