Valencia, Spain, 22-25 September 2026 at the Universitat Politècnica de València
The theme of the 2026 edition of SAFECOMP will be “Engineering safe and sustainable computing systems”. Safety engineering must evolve to address this dual challenge: guaranteeing safety while ensuring sustainability in computing infrastructures.
Founded in 1979 by the European Workshop on Industrial Computer Systems, Technical Committee 7 on Reliability, Safety and Security (EWICS TC7), SAFECOMP has played a key role in advancing the state of the art in dependable applications of computers to safety-related and safety-critical systems.
SAFECOMP is an annual international conference that showcases the latest research, industrial experience, and emerging trends in safety, security, and reliability of critical computer applications. It offers an excellent forum for exchanging insights, methods, and practical solutions. As a single-track conference, SAFECOMP ensures high-quality interactions and effective networking without parallel sessions.
