Call for Workshop Proposals

The 15th edition of the Latin-American Symposium on Dependable and Secure Computing (LADC 2026) will be held in Brazil at the city of Salvador, in November, 2026. LADC is the premier Latin American conference on dependable and secure computing systems. Its scope spans all aspects of dependable and secure computing, including system architecture, protocols and algorithms, formal models and quantitative methods for performance, dependability and security evaluation, experimentation, and practical experiences.

LADC 2026 invites proposals for co-located workshops that will complement the main symposium by offering forums for focused discussions on emerging and specialized topics of dependability and security. Workshops may serve as platforms for early-stage idea exchange, in-depth research discussions, or collaborative working sessions to address current challenges in the field.

Workshops will be co-located with LADC 2026 and are expected to attract both academic and industrial participants, including researchers, practitioners, and students. The workshop papers should be published at SBC Open Library (sol.sbc.org.br).
