Call for Papers - Main Conference
[ Call for Papers as PDF file ]
The IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering (ASE) Conference series is the premier research forum for automated software engineering. Each year, it brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss foundations, techniques and tools for automating the analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of large software systems.
ASE 2014 invites high quality contributions describing significant, original, and unpublished results.
Solicited topics include, but are not limited to:
- Automated reasoning techniques
- Component-based systems
- Computer-supported cooperative work
- Configuration management
- Data mining for software engineering
- Domain modeling and meta-modeling
- Empirical software engineering
- Human-computer interaction
- Knowledge acquisition and management
- Maintenance and evolution
- Testing, verification, and validation
- Software visualization
- Model-driven engineering
- Open systems development
- Product line methods
- Program understanding
- Program synthesis
- Program transformation
- Re-engineering
- Requirements engineering
- Specification languages
- Software Analysis
- Software architecture and design
- Model-based software development
- Model transformations
- Modeling language semantics
Three categories of submissions are solicited:
-
Technical Research Papers should describe innovative research in
automating software development activities or automated support to users
engaged in such activities. They should describe a novel contribution to
the field and should carefully support claims of novelty with citations
to the relevant literature. Where a submission builds upon previous work
of the author(s), the novelty of the new contribution must be clearly
described with respect to the previous work. Papers should also clearly
discuss how the results were validated.
-
Experience Papers should describe a significant experience in
applying automated software engineering technology and should carefully
identify and discuss important lessons learned so that other researchers
and/or practitioners can benefit from the experience. Of special
interest are experience papers that report on industrial applications of
automated software engineering.
-
New Ideas Papers should describe novel research directions in
automating software development activities or automated support to users
engaged in such activities. New ideas submissions are intended to
describe well- defined research ideas that are at an early stage of
investigation and may not be fully validated.
Submission
Papers must be submitted electronically through the ASE 2014 submission site
http://cyberchairpro.borbala.net/asepapers/submit/.
All submissions must come in PDF format and conform, at time of
submission, to the
ACM Formatting Guidelines (LaTeX users, use the style Option 2).
Technical Research Papers and Experience Papers must not exceed 10 pages
(including figures and appendices) plus up to 2 pages that contains ONLY
references. New Ideas Papers must not exceed 6 pages (including figures,
appendices AND references). Submissions that do not adhere to these
limits or that violate the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected
without review. All submissions must be in English.
Papers submitted to ASE 2014 must not have been previously published and
must not be under review for publication elsewhere. All papers that
conform to submission guidelines will be peer-reviewed by members of the
Program Committee and members of the Expert Review Panel. Submissions
will be evaluated on the basis of originality, soundness, relevance,
importance of contribution, evaluation, quality of presentation and
appropriate comparison to related work. Note that the Program Committee
may re-assign a submission into a different category than the one it is
submitted to if it decides that it is a better fit for that category.
Acceptance
All accepted papers will be published by ACM, provided that at least one
author of each accepted paper registers for the conference and presents
the paper. Failure to do so may result in the paper being pulled out of
the ACM Digital Library.
