Goal
Technical papers should describe innovative and significant work in the research and practice of software engineering. Papers are collected in an archival, refereed conference proceedings, published by IEEE/ACM, whose literature is cited and read by researchers and practitioners worldwide.
Scope
The software engineering community consists of researchers and practitioners from many different disciplines and intellectual traditions. Technical papers report on a full range of topics relevant to this community, including software engineering principles, theories, techniques, tools, and empirical evaluations.
There is a separate track for case study reports.
Review Process
The technical program committee will review each submitted paper, and make final decisions on paper acceptance at a meeting where the program committee as a whole will review and discuss the recommendations made by the reviewers. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness of rationale or demonstration, quality of written and graphic presentation, and appropriate comparison of results to relevant research and literature.
