As modern software systems must cope with evolving requirements, heterogeneous platforms, changing user needs, adaptive behaviour, and increasingly AI-enabled development processes, variability engineering has become more important than ever. The conference provides a unique opportunity to discuss the latest advances in variability-enabled systems including modelling, analysis, automation, architectures, tools, empirical studies, software reuse, and software product line engineering. VARIABILITY 2026 builds upon the legacies of three leading conferences in the field: • International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR) • International Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems (VaMoS) • International Systems and Software Product Line Conference (SPLC) By bringing these communities together, VARIABILITY 2026 creates a unified international forum for advancing the engineering, management, and exploitation of variability in software-intensive systems. Keynote Speakers VARIABILITY 2026 will feature keynote presentations by: • Prof. Sigrid Eldh (Ericsson / Mälardalen University) • Prof. Jean-Marc Jézéquel (University of Rennes, CNRS, Inria, IUF) Tracks VARIABILITY 2026 will feature presentations spanning many tracks including: • Research • Industry • Journal-First • Demonstrations and Tools • Projects Showcase • Doctoral Symposium Workshops • MODEVAR - International Workshop on Languages for Modelling Variability https://modevar.github.io/ • GAIV - Workshop on Generative AI and Variability https://sites.google.com/view/gaiv-2026 Tutorials • Product Comparison using Feature Similarity Matching by Mike Mannion and Hermann Kaindl • The Engineering and Manufacture of Software-based Products by Grady Campbell Awards The conference will honour excellence through: • Awards for the most influential papers published more than 10 years ago in the predecessor conferences • Best Research Paper and Best Industry Paper awards (sponsored by Springer) Join us in Cyprus for this historic inaugural edition and help build the future of variability- enabled systems and software!
