Established in 1993, the Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC) is a leading international forum on full-Spectrum software engineering and technology, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. APSEC 2018 aims to bring together software engineering profession including researchers, practitioners, and educators to describe important new research results and report valuable project experiences, and to foster wider communications and collaborations among academia, industry, and government.

The APSEC 2018 technical research track invites high quality submissions of papers describing original research studies and results in the discipline of software engineering. All accepted papers will be published through the IEEE-CS Digital Library as the APSEC 2018 conference proceedings.

Topics relate to any aspect of software engineering that include, but are not limited to:
- Agile methodologies
- Cloud and Service-oriented Computing
- Component-based Software Engineering
- Configuration Management and Deployment
- Cooperative, Distributed, and Global Software Engineering
- Cyber-physical Systems and Internet of Things

SUBMISSIONS
Submissions will be evaluated by at least three program committee members. The evaluation will focus on the novelty, originality, importance to the field, proper use of research methods, and presentation of the submissions.

Submission Instructions

Submitted papers must have been neither previously accepted for publication nor concurrently submitted for review in another journal, book, conference, or workshop.

All submissions must be in English, and must come in PDF format and conform, at time of submission, to the IEEE Conference Proceedings Formatting Guidelines (title in 24pt font and full text in 10pt font, LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran} without including the compsoc or compsocconf option. Also, papers must comply with the IEEE Policy on Authorship.

Submissions must be submitted electronically in PDF before the due date via EasyChair.

The Chairs reserve the right to reject submissions (without reviews) that are not in compliance or out of scope for the conference.
