November 2025
Dear SI Members
We are looking forward
to an interesting few
months, with both events
from our SI event series
on Digital Resilience
which will accompany us
in the lead-up to SITC
2026 and events from our
SIGs. Take a look and
join us to give your
input and further the
discussion. Don't miss
out on the Software
Engineering (SE)
conference in February
2026 in particular. You
now have the chance to
submit papers for their
workshops during the
event, a great
opportunity to make your
voice heard!
Enjoy and kind regards,
The SI Team |

APL
Labs by Swiss APL User
Group SAUG
The
SI Group SAUG is
holding regular APL
Labs at the Hotel Kreuz in Jona. With presentations on
various APL topics,
the group discusses
and explores various
applications of APL. APL
(A Programming Language)
was originally conceived
as a
mathematical/logical
notation, developed in
the 1960s by Kenneth E.
Iverson, a young Harvard
lecturer, but came to be
used as a programming
language. The power of
APL operators/functions
is due to their
automatic data structure
penetration and special
operators. This
eliminates the need for
many control structures.
Nested data structures
(nested arrays) were
added with the 2nd APL
generation, making it
the ideal tool to
process data from
relational databases
where SQL reaches its
limits.
The next APL Lab will
have a presentation on
"Conway's Game of Life"
by Hans Peter Moser. It
will be held on November 12th
in German. Interested
members are welcome to
listen in on the
presentation and join
the discussion, starting
at 17:00. |
SecTalk: Security culture and the human factor – an underestimated contribution to cyber security?
The HSLU invites you to
their next SecTalk
diving into the topic of
Cybersecurity on November
26th in
Rotkreuz. In a digital world where cyber attacks are becoming increasingly targeted and sophisticated thanks to artificial intelligence, humans are becoming the last line of defence – and at the same time the biggest weak point. A single click, a careless action is enough to compromise an entire comp
any with thousands of employees. Hear from leading experts
who will share their
practical insights
on how to master
this Herculean task
– with concrete
strategies,
real-life case
studies and
immediately
actionable ideas.
They have invited a
number of speakers
to shine a light on
the importance of
considering the
human factor. This
is a free event held
in German, however,
registration is
required. You can
find out more
details about the
speakers on the event page.

International
Software Engineering
Winter School on
Hybrid and Generative
Intelligence in Bern
The International
Software Engineering
Winter School on Hybrid
and Generative
Intelligence will be
held on 24th –
28th November 2025
in Bern, Switzerland, as
part of the EU-funded
InnoGuard Project.
This inaugural Winter
School brings together
academic and industrial
researchers, along with
Ph.D. students, to
explore cutting-edge
topics at the
intersection of Software
Engineering, Hybrid
Intelligence, and
Generative AI, with a
special focus on Large
Language Models (LLMs)
and their transformative
role in next-generation
software systems.
This Winter School
provides a unique
platform for
interdisciplinary
collaboration, skill
development, and
exposure to industry
applications, fostering
the next generation of
researchers in hybrid
and generative software
engineering. Funding
from the Hasler
Foundation will support
travel, accommodation,
inclusive participation,
and the execution of the
social and industrial
engagement day, ensuring
broad access and
high-impact outcomes.
You can register here and
learn more about the
full program on the page
for the event itself.

SE
2026 in Bern: Joint
Call for Workshop
Contributions
The Software
Engineering (SE)
conference is the
premier scientifically
oriented conference in
the field of software
engineering in the DACH
region, held under the
auspices of SI, GI
(Gesellschaft für
Informatik, DE), and OCG
(Austrian Computer
Society, AT). For the
first time in its 25+
years of history, it
will be located in
Switzerland, from
Monday, 23rd
to Friday, 27th
February 2026
in Bern.
In addition to the main
program and other
co-located events, SE
2026 features a couple
of workshops
promoting both emerging
and established
subfields of software
engineering and related
disciplines, and to
achieve strong
networking and
cooperation between
academia and industry.
Most of the workshops
have just announced or
