The Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Software-Intensive Systems (MSSiS), organized by Prof. Valdemar Graciano Neto from the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) 2026, one of the most prestigious conferences in the field of Software Engineering worldwide. ICSE is the premier international conference in software engineering, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and educators from around the world to discuss advances, innovations, and trends in the field.

The MSSiS workshop focuses on modeling and simulation of software-intensive systems, an increasingly important research area due to the growth of complex systems such as smart cities, cyber-physical systems, Industry 4.0 environments, and AI-based systems. The workshop aims to promote discussions on simulation, executable models, and their integration with software engineering practices, fostering collaboration between researchers and practitioners working on next-generation software systems.

The 2026 edition will be the eighth edition of the workshop and will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, co-located with ICSE 2026. The workshop is organized by an international committee including Prof. Valdemar Graciano Neto (UFG), Hans Vangheluwe (University of Antwerp), and Philipp Zech (University of Innsbruck), demonstrating the international collaboration involved in the initiative.

Having a workshop organized by a Brazilian researcher at ICSE represents an important achievement and highlights the international visibility and impact of research conducted at the Federal University of Goiás. The MSSiS workshop contributes to strengthening international collaboration, promoting Brazilian research in software engineering, and creating opportunities for students and researchers to engage with the global software engineering community.
