Call for Posters

HISC 2025: Call for Posters

The High Integrity Software Conference (HISC) is about sharing challenges, best practices, and experiences among software engineering professionals. Our goal is to bring together industrial and academic experts to share their knowledge and techniques applicable across various industries.

Invitation to Submit

The Programme Committee invites you to submit proposals for posters to be showcased in the Future Zone at HISC 2025. This is a great opportunity to share your work with a diverse audience of industry practitioners and researchers.

We're looking for posters that promote the state of the art in high-integrity software. This includes academic research, but it isn't limited to it. We also welcome submissions from industry professionals, including those in early-career roles like apprentices, interns, and graduates, who have made advances in real-world applications. If you have an innovative project, an interesting case study, or a new approach to a long-standing problem, we want to hear about it.

Who Should Apply?

This call is open to anyone involved in developing high-integrity software. We're interested in a wide range of topics, including:

• Theoretical computer science
• Software engineering
• Cybersecurity
• Safety engineering
• Practical applications and innovations

For more information, you can check out the themes for this year's conference on the Call for Presentations page, but your poster does not need to align with those themes.

Please note: Posters are not meant for promoting commercial products or services. If you're interested in that, please check out the exhibitors page for information on booking a booth or a Spotlight Talk session.

Why Present a Poster?

Presenting a poster at HISC offers significant benefits for your professional development and career.

• Networking: Connect with leading experts and peers in the high-integrity software field.
• Expert Feedback: Get valuable critique and advice on your work from seasoned professionals and researchers.
• Increase Visibility: Showcase your innovations and contributions to a dedicated and influential audience.
• Recognition: Accepted presenters can list their participation on their resume or CV, highlighting their contribution to the field.
• Mentorship Opportunities: HISC is a great place to find mentors.
