================================ IMPORTANT DATES FOR #ASE2021 ================================ Conference Date: 15-19 November 2021, Melbourne, Australia. Upcoming Deadlines: - Mar 22 (Workshop Proposals), - Apr 16 (Research Track Abstract Submission), - Apr 23 (Research Paper), - Jun 11 (Tutorial, NIER, LBR, Tool Demo). ===================== OVERVIEW & SCOPE ===================== The 36th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2021) will be held in Melbourne from November 15-19, 2021. The conference 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. ASE2021 consists of research track, demonstrations, journal first, tutorials, doctoral symposium, workshops, new ideas and emerging results, late breaking results, and artifact evaluation tracks. ASE2021 will continue to host the ACM Student Research Competition which offers undergraduate and graduate students a unique forum to showcase their research, exchange ideas, and improve their communication skills while competing for prizes. The Industry Showcase solicits talk proposals that present practitioner-oriented topics and are relevant and interesting to both industrial and academic attendees. The Late-Breaking Results track provides a venue to get early feedback on research before having to evaluate or even build a tool, idea, algorithm, experiment. Check out our website (https://conf.researchr.org/home/ase-2021) for more details. Follow our Facebook page and Twitter account to stay tuned! We will post all the updates on social media constantly instead of this mail list. If you're interested, make sure to stay connected with us on social media!

Tutorials https://conf.researchr.org/track/ase-2021/ase-2021-tutorials ================== RESEARCH TRACK ================== Two 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, but the author identity should not be revealed, i.e., prior work should be referenced in the third person, to reflect the double-blind review policy. 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. Important Dates: - Research Abstract Submission: Apr 16, 2021 - Paper Submission: Apr 23, 2021 - Author Notification: Jul 7, 2021 - Camera-Ready: Aug 7, 2021 ====================== WORKSHOP PROPOSAL ====================== ASE 2020 is soliciting proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference. The workshops will be co-located with the conference. The organizers will decide the exact day after the proposals have been reviewed and accepted. Only one-day workshops can be accepted. Workshop registration will be waived for one keynote speaker per workshop. Important Dates: - Proposal Submission: Mar 22, 2021 - Notification of acceptance: Apr 16, 2021 ==================================== ASE2021 ORGANISATION COMMITTEES ==================================== General Chair: John Grundy, Monash University, Australia Program Co-chairs: Dan Hao, Peking University, China Denys Poshyvanyk, William and Mary, USA Review Process Co-Chairs: Junjie Chen, Tianjin University, China Kevin Moran, George Mason University, United States Journal-first Papers Co-Chairs: Zhenchang Xing, Australian National University, Australia Didar Zowghi, University of Technology Sydney, Australia Industry showcases Co-Chairs: Pavneet Singh Kochhar, Microsoft, Canada Ingo Mueller, Monash University, Australia NIER Co-Chairs: Hourieh Khalajzadeh, Monash University, Australia Jean-Guy Schneider, Deakin University, Australia Late-Breaking Results Co-Chairs: Patanamon Thongtanunam, The University of Melbourne, Australia Chetan Arora, Deakin University, Australia Tool demonstration Co-chairs: Julia Rubin, University of British Columbia, Canada Shahar Maoz, Tel Aviv University, Israel Workshop Co-Chairs Xin Xia, Monash University, Australia Yuan Tian, Queens University, Canada Artifacts Co-Chairs: Tim Menzies, North Carolina State University, United States Aldeida Aleti, Monash University, Australia Doctoral Symposium Co-Chairs: Barbora Buhnova, Masaryk University, Czech Republic Li Li, Monash University, Australia Tutorials Co-Chairs: Humphrey Obie, Monash University, Australia Tanjila Kanji, Monash Univeristy, Australia Most Influential Paper Co-Chairs: David Lo, Singapore Management University, Singapore Myra Cohen, Iowa State University, United States Student Volunteer Co-Chairs: Chunyang Chen, Monash University, Australia Niroshinie Fernando, Deakin University, Australia Student Research Competition Co-Chairs: Catia Trubiani, Gran Sasso Science Institute, Italy Xuan Bach D.
