ICSE 2022 - The 44th International Conference on Software Engineering May 21 - 29, 2022 - Pittsburgh, USA Visit Official Website: https://conf.researchr.org/home/icse-2022 ========================================================= ICSE, the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering, is the premier software engineering conference. Since 1975, ICSE has provided a forum where researchers, practitioners, and educators gather together to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and issues in the field of software engineering. Beyond the Technical track, ICSE 2022 will feature the following focused tracks. ============================================ NIER - New Ideas and Emerging Results * Submission deadline: Fri, October 15 2021 * The New Ideas and Emerging Results (NIER) track at ICSE provides a vibrant forum for forward-looking, innovative research in software engineering. Our aim is to accelerate the exposure of the software engineering community to early yet potentially ground-breaking research results, and to techniques and perspectives that challenge the status quo in the discipline. To broadly capture this goal, NIER 2022 will publish the following types of papers: - Forward-looking ideas: exciting new directions or techniques that may have yet to be supported by solid experimental results, but are nonetheless supported by strong and well-argued scientific intuitions as well as concrete plans going forward. - Thought-provoking reflections: bold and unexpected results and reflections that can help us look at current research directions under a new light, calling for new directions for future research.

Practical software development relies on excellent software engineering research. SEIP provides a unique forum for networking, exchanging ideas, fostering innovations, and forging long-term collaborations to address Software Engineering research that impacts directly on practice. It is one of the most prestigious forums in which to publish work in the Software Engineering literature. SEIP will include participants and speakers from both industrial and academic sectors, drawing together researchers and practitioners eager to communicate and share common interests in software engineering. The track will be composed of invited talks, paper presentations, and interactive sessions, all with a strong focus on software practice. We seek two types of submission, both of which must be written exclusively in English and for which paper limits include references: - Full papers (up to 10 pages) addressing industrially-relevant problems through systematic investigations. Each paper should describe a problem of practical importance, explain how the problem was investigated and in what context, and present evidence for the paper’s conclusions. The submission should have technical and empirical soundness. Other aspects that should also be included where appropriate include: discussing why the resolution of the problem is innovative, (cost-) effective, or efficient; providing a concise explanation of the approach, techniques, and methodologies employed; and explaining the insights or best practices that emerged, tools developed, and/or software processes involved. - Industrial Challenge papers (up to 2 pages) outlining a new research challenge, arising from industrial software practice and experience. A challenge paper will clearly articulate the problem and motivate it in terms of its potential for industrial impact and/or its practical importance. The aim of the call for challenge papers is to provide a growing pool of well-defined industrially relevant problems for the research community to tackle.

Every year, it brings together educators from both academia and industry who share and discuss cutting-edge results and experiences on how to best form software engineers able to deal with real-word challenges. We invite you to join us this year to continue to grow our collective knowledge in the field of software engineering education and training. We accept papers in several submission categories, including both long (max 10 pages plus up to 2 pages for references) and short (max 5 pages, plus 1 page of references) papers: - Research Papers (long), addressing a topic related to software engineering and education using appropriate research techniques and scholarly writing. - Experience Reports (long), providing anecdotal evidence by describing an experience related to software engineering education and training (typically a course, a teaching or training technique or strategy, or an assessment method) and interprets the experience in terms of actionable advice and lessons learned. Negative and mixed findings are acceptable provided they can support advice or lessons learned. - Idea Papers (short), presenting a new software engineering education and training idea with a proposed formal evaluation strategy, possibly with some preliminary or informal results. - Tool Paper (short), describing a tool or technology that supports software engineering education and training. Papers in this category should discuss the impact of the tool on the learning process and can optionally be accompanied by a short demo video. - Replication Paper (short), describing the repetition of an existing and already published pedagogical intervention (e.g. course, approach, study) in new contexts. The goal is to determine if the basic findings related to the original pedagogical intervention can be applied to other circumstances.

Our theme this year is diversity, inclusion, belonging, and representation. We seek contributions that align with this theme that highlight how software engineering can address the opportunities and challenges posed by the rapidly accelerating pace of technological advances that are impacting the economic, political, environmental, social, and technical aspects of society. We would also like to discuss emerging trends in the development of software that is part of larger systems across a broad spectrum of disciplines. The goal is to investigate the reasons for these trends, to analyze possible novel contributions from the Software Engineering community, and to identify novel research challenges that these disciplines pose to software engineering methods and practices. We welcome different types of submissions including both long (up to 10 pages) and short (up to 4 pages) papers: - Full papers (long) documenting results and findings, where the research presented has followed established research methods. - Short paper (short), reporting novel approaches that have not been fully evaluated, which will be presented as a poster. - Experience paper (long), reporting on real-world problems and innovative solutions, or tools. - Opinion paper (short), reporting on well-founded arguments to support diversity and inclusion.

The track is a highly interactive venue where researchers and practitioners can demonstrate their tools and discuss them with attendees. Tool-based demonstrations describe novel aspects of early prototypes or mature tools. The tool demonstrations must communicate clearly the following information to the audience: - the envisioned users; - the software engineering challenge it proposes to address; - the methodology it implies for its users; and - the results of validation studies already conducted for mature tools, or the design of planned studies for early prototypes. Highlighting scientific contributions through concrete artifacts is a critical supplement to the traditional ICSE research papers. A demonstration provides the opportunity to communicate how the scientific approach has been implemented or how a specific hypothesis has been assessed, including details such as implementation and usage issues, data models and representations, APIs for tool and data access. Authors of regular research papers are thus also encouraged to submit an accompanying demonstration paper.

Through this initiative, authors of journal-first papers accepted in the partnering journals will be invited to present their work at ICSE, thus providing an opportunity for the authors to engage directly with the community and offering the ICSE attendees an additional dimension to the research track program. The journals that support the journal-first model as partners with ICSE are: - IEEE Transaction of Software Engineering (IEEE TSE), - ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (ACM TOSEM), - Empirical Software Engineering (EMSE).
