SOFSEM (SOFtware SEMinar) is an annual international winter conference devoted to the theory and practice of computer science. The first SOFSEM was organized in 1974. SOFSEM consists of invited talks by prominent researchers, of contributed talks selected from the submitted papers, and of the Student Research Forum. The program is organized in plenary talks and parallel tracks devoted to original research in the selected research areas.

SOFSEM has a long-standing tradition of facilitating discussions and collegial interactions. It is well-known for its familiar and inspiring atmosphere and as a meeting place for active and leading computer scientists. SOFSEM is a track-based conference. It features the traditional track on foundations of computer science and a number of other tracks that cover contemporary important areas, such as artificial intelligence, cryptography, security, verification, data science, knowledge engineering, social computing and human factors, software and web engineering, etc. 

The Track Chairs are soliciting technical papers for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the proceedings published by Springer in the ARCoSS/LNCS series. The topics of the conference are organised in four tracks and the (non exhaustive) list of topics for each track is as follows:

Foundations of Computer Science

* Algorithms and data structures
* Automata and formal languages 
* Complexity theory
* Computability theory
* Cryptography and security
* Graphs and networks 
* Machine learning

* Theory of databases, semi-structured data, and finite model theory
* Theory of programming languages
Foundations of Software Engineering
* Methods and tools for improved software processes
* Software architecture of complex software-intensive systems
* Requirements Engineering
* Model-based software engineering methods and tools
* Data-driven improvement of methods, models, and tools
* Methods and tools for software engineering applications
* Empirical Software Engineering
Foundations of Data Science
