THE 27TH ASIA-PACIFIC SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CONFERENCE December 1-4, 2020 - Singapore https://formal-analysis.com/apsec/2020/ CALL FOR PAPERS The Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC) has long been established as a premier regional conference that brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to share the state of the art and the practice of software engineering, and to explore emerging challenges and solutions in software engineering innovation. APSEC 2020 will continue in the tradition of previous editions of this regional conference. As past APSEC series, the main research track features the most recent and significant innovations in the field of software engineering and all its sub-disciplines. We invite submissions of high quality research papers that describe original and unpublished results on all topics of both theoretical and empirical software engineering research. APSEC 2020 will offer an extensive program of interest to academia, government and industry. It will include several distinguished keynote speakers and conference days of paper presentations, panels, and demos. A series of exciting tutorials to develop skills in various aspects of software engineering practices is of particular interest to industry. Co-located workshops as well as Software Engineering Postgraduates Workshop (SEPoW) offer forums for participants to present novel techniques and methods in particular sub-disciplines of software engineering. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical Research Papers (10 pages) - Submissions Due: 10 July 2020 (AoE) - Notification: 4 September 2020 - Camera-ready Due: 16 October 2020 Software Engineering in Practice (SEIP) Papers (10 pages) - Submissions Due: 10 July 2020 (AoE) - Notification: 4 September 2020 - Camera-ready Due: 16 October 2020 Early Research Achievements (ERA) Papers (5 pages) - Abstract Due: 14 August 2020 (AoE) - Paper Submissions Due: 21 August 2020 (AoE) - Notification: 25 September 2020 - Camera-ready Due: 16 October 2020 Poster Papers (2 pages) - Submissions Due: 2 October 2020 (AoE) - Notification: 9 October 2020 - Camera-ready Due: 16 October 2020 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics related to all aspects of software engineering that include, but are not limited to: * AI for Software Engineering * 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 * Debugging, Defect Prediction and Fault Localization * DevOps and Container * Embedded Real-time Systems * Empirical Software Engineering * Formal Methods * Human Factors and Social Aspects of Software Engineering * Middleware, Frameworks, and APIs * Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems * Model-driven and Domain-specific Engineering * Open Source Development * Parallel, Distributed, and Concurrent Systems * Programming Languages and Systems * Refactoring * Requirements Engineering * Reverse Engineering * Search-based Software Engineering * Security, Reliability, and Privacy * Software Architecture, Modelling and Design * Software Comprehension, Visualization, and Traceability * Software Engineering Education * Software Engineering Process and Standards * Software Engineering for Smart Manufacturing * Software Engineering Tools and Environments * Software for Green and Sustainable Technologies * Software Maintenance and Evolution * Software Product-line Engineering * Software Project Management * Software Reuse * Software Repository Mining and Data Analytics * Testing, Verification, and Validation * Web-based Software Engineering All paper submissions must be in English, and must come in A4 paper size 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).
