FASE 2025 - 28th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering

As the field of software engineering is broad, the scope of FASE is also broad and includes requirements, design, architecture, modelling, refactoring, software transformation, generation and synthesis, testing, verification, validation, development methods and processes (agile), etc. Due to its origins, FASE has traditionally focussed primarily on formal models and methods, often involving considerations of code, design and the associated processes. However, these are not the only topics of interest. Agile methods, object-orientation and search-based software development have also been discussed in the past. Crucially, the letter "F" in FASE stands for "fundamental" rather than "formal", and all research that asks fundamental questions about software development is welcome.

FASE is strongly influenced by new developments in the technical landscape: AI and machine learning, security, blockchain, quantum computing. FASE will continue to shift its interest with the needs of society and the interests of the research community. Wherever we go, we will continue to ask what are the principles of developing systems in these areas and what techniques help to understand them and support new technical methods and tools.
