About us

SETTA 2026 is the 12th International Symposium on Dependable Software Engineering, aimed at bringing international researchers together to exchange research results and ideas on bridging the gap between formal methods and software engineering. It focuses on formal theories, techniques, and tools for software modeling, specification, design, and verification, particularly for large-scale systems like Cyber-Physical Systems and IoT.
