APSEC 2022 aims to bring together the software engineering profession, including researchers, practitioners, and educators, to describe significant new research results, report valuable project experiences, and foster broader communications and collaborations among academia, industry, and government. All accepted papers (except for workshop papers) will be published through the IEEE-CS Digital Library in the APSEC 2022 conference proceedings. APSEC 2022 solicits submissions in the following five separate categories. Furthermore, APSEC 2022 solicits workshop proposals. - Technical Research: Original research, at most 10 pages - Software Engineering Education (EDU): Education and training, 10 pages - Software Engineering in Practice (SEIP): Real-world practice, 5 pages - Early Research Achievements (ERA): Work-in-progress, 5 pages - Posters: Work-in-progress, interactive setting, 2 pages - Workshop Proposals: 2 pages We invite you to join us at APSEC 2022, online virtually, and to help shape the software engineering research, practice, and education of the future. Topics are related to any aspect of software engineering that include, but are not limited to: - Agile Methodologies - AI and Machine Learning for Software Engineering - 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, Modeling and Design - Software Comprehension, Visualization, and Traceability - Software Engineering for AI and Machine Learning - Software Engineering Education and Training - 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 *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 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). 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. If a submission is accepted, at least one author of the paper must register for APSEC 2022 and present the paper at the conference. If an accepted paper is not presented, the paper is removed from the proceedings. IMPORTANT: The APSEC 2022 technical research track will use a double-blind reviewing process, which means that submissions must not reveal the authors' identities. The authors must make every effort to honor the double-blind reviewing process. Submissions must adhere to the rules. Please read carefully the APSEC 2022 double-blind instructions before preparing your paper. https://conf.researchr.org/track/apsec-2022/apsec-2022-technical-track#APSEC-2022-Double-blind-Instructions *HOSTING ORGANIZATION* The Special Interesting Group on Software Engineering (SIGSE) of Information Processing of Japan (IPSJ) hosts the conference. *SPONSORS AND CONTACT* APSEC 2022 will have sponsorship packages available, providing sponsors with a choice of advertising exposure related to your financial commitment. And it is also a good opportunity to renew friendships and establish new working opportunities.
