The GoIn-Sight Research Group will have a strong presence at the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2026), which will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in April 2026. ICSE is the most prestigious conference in the field of Software Engineering worldwide, and having multiple papers accepted in its workshops and events represents an important achievement for the group and for the Federal University of Goiás (UFG).

Professor Valdemar Graciano Neto will lead the Modeling and Simulation in Software-Intensive Systems Workshop (MSSiS 2026), reinforcing the international leadership and collaboration of the group in the area of Systems-of-Systems and Software-Intensive Systems research. In addition to organizing MSSiS, several research papers authored by members of GoIn-Sight were accepted in different ICSE workshops and tracks.

Four papers from the group were accepted at the International Workshop on Software Engineering for Systems-of-Systems (SESoS 2026). These works address topics such as wildfire response systems using Systems-of-Systems approaches, characterization of information systems in judicial environments as Systems-of-Systems, intelligent integration of data on software ecosystem platforms, and trusted execution environments in Systems-of-Systems.

The group will also present two papers at the International Workshop on Methodological Issues with Empirical Studies in Software Engineering (WSESE 2026), addressing the use of Large Language Models to support systematic mapping studies and the use of OSF-based registered reports for software engineering controlled experiments.

In addition, another paper from the group was accepted at the Dark Software Engineering (DSE 2026) workshop, presenting an AI-based solution to support the detection of fake news and dark engineering practices. Professor Valdemar is also co-author of a paper accepted at the International Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Engineering for Blockchain (WETSEB 2026), which investigates evolving competencies in blockchain engineering through a longitudinal study.

The participation of GoIn-Sight in ICSE 2026 also includes student contributions. Luiza Cintra will present papers in the undergraduate research track, and Gilmar Teixeira Junior was selected to present his research at the ICSE Doctoral Symposium, representing the group among selected PhD researchers from around the world.

These achievements reinforce the international visibility of the GoIn-Sight Research Group and highlight the impact of research developed at the Federal University of Goiás in the areas of Software Engineering, Systems-of-Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Empirical Software Engineering.

The GoIn-Sight group thanks all collaborators, students, and partner institutions who contributed to these research results and invites the community to follow and attend the presentations during ICSE 2026.
