Call for Papers: RExAI 2026
International Workshop on Formal Requirements Engineering and Artificial In=
telligence
May 4, 2026
co-located with NFM 2026 (May 5 - May 7, 2026), Los Angeles, California, US=
A

Overview
This workshop explores the intersection of formal requirements engineering =
and artificial intelligence (AI), addressing a central challenge in modern =
software and AI system development: how to precisely specify requirements f=
or increasingly complex, heterogeneous, and autonomous systems, and how to =
verify and validate that such systems meet those requirements.

As AI technologies become deeply embedded in safety and mission-critical do=
mains, from autonomous vehicles to medical diagnostics, financial systems t=
o industrial automation and space exploration, the need for rigorous, forma=
l approaches to requirements is becoming increasingly important. At the sam=
e time, traditional requirements engineering methods face new challenges wh=
en applied to systems with learning-enabled components, unpredictable behav=
iors, and emergent properties. The opacity of AI models and the semantic ga=
p between high-level requirements and low-level model inputs and internals =
create significant impediments to verifying and validating that such system=
s meet their specified requirements.

The workshop welcomes extended abstract contributions on formal specificati=
on languages for AI systems, verification and validation techniques, requir=
ements for trustworthy AI, case studies from real-world applications, and n=
ovel applications of AI to requirements engineering itself. We aim to foste=
r dialogue between communities that have traditionally worked separately, b=
uilding bridges toward more reliable, safe, and trustworthy AI systems grou=
nded in rigorous requirements practices. Extended abstracts can summarize a=
nd cite results from recent published paper(s) and/or state your perspectiv=
e.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

  *
How can we formally specify requirements for systems with learning-enabled =
components?
  *
How can formal frameworks capture fairness, safety, robustness and explaina=
bility requirements for AI systems?
  *
How do we verify that AI systems meet their specified requirements?
  *
What role can AI play in automating requirements elicitation, formalization=
 analysis, and validation?
  *
How do we bridge high-level requirements and behavior of AI-enabled systems=
 to enable traceability, safety assurance, and certification?




Important dates:

  *
Submission deadline: March 16, 2026
  *
Notification: April 3, 2026
  *
Workshop: May 4, 2026

Paper submission guidelines
We invite extended abstracts of 2-4 pages (excluding references) in LNCS fo=
rmat, https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedi=
ngs-guidelines. All submissions must be in English and fall into one of the=
 following categories:

  1.
New and Emerging Work: Presents novel research in the focus areas of the wo=
rkshop. Submissions will be evaluated primarily on "novelty".
  2.
Summary of Recent Results: Presents existing work and highlights its contri=
bution in terms of relevance and impact in the focus areas of the workshop.=
 Submissions will be evaluated primarily on "impact".

Please note that:

  *
No Formal Proceedings: We welcome submissions of work that has already been=
 presented or submitted elsewhere. No copyright transfer is required; we on=
ly request permission to post accepted abstracts on the workshop website.
  *
Journal Special Issue: Authors of selected accepted abstracts will be invit=
ed to submit extended versions for a journal special issue.

All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee. The p=
aper review process is single-blind, which means that the author identities=
 are not required to be anonymous and are visible to the PC members/reviewe=
rs, but reviewer identities are not visible to the authors. No special effo=
rts are required to anonymize content in the paper (such as referencing the=
 authors=92 prior work).
Policy on the use of Gen AI (same as NFM)
We understand the convenience afforded by the use of generative AI-based la=
rge language models to produce text in the submitted manuscript. However, w=
e strongly encourage the authors to check the generated text for factual er=
rors and inconsistencies. We encourage the authors to adopt appropriate sta=
ndards for citing products obtained using generative AI (such as text, tabl=
es, graphics). Use of AI-based coding assistants is permitted, and we encou=
rage authors to disclose the use of such tools as the community may find th=
is scientifically interesting.
Submission will be via the OpenReview link:
https://openreview.net/group?id=3DNFM/2026/Workshop/RExAI
To submit a paper on OpenReview, you must first create a profile and log in=
 to the system. Then, navigate to the specific conference or venue=92s page=
 on OpenReview, find the =93Conference Submission=94 link, and click on it.=
 Fill out the submission form, which will prompt you for paper details like=
 title, authors, abstract, and keywords, before uploading the PDF of your p=
aper.
Step-by-Step Submission Process
