CALL FOR PAPERS
32nd ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis
(ISSTA 2023) Seattle, Washington, USA - July 17-21, 2023.
https://conf.researchr.org/home/issta-2023

The ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Software Testing and
Analysis (ISSTA) is the leading research symposium on software testing
and analysis, bringing together academics, industrial researchers, and
practitioners to exchange new ideas, problems, and experience on how
to analyze and test software systems. 2023 will mark the 32nd edition
of ISSTA.


New for ISSTA 2023: Dual submission deadlines
===================
ISSTA 2023 will feature two submission deadlines: An early submission
deadline (November 10, 2022) and a regular submission deadline
(February 16, 2023). You can choose to submit to either deadline.
Papers submitted to the early deadline may receive a chance to address
the reviewer comments and resubmit a major revision of the initial
submission to the regular deadline. Papers submitted to the regular
deadline will receive an outcome of accept or reject. Both submission
deadlines involve an author-response period.


Technical Papers
===================
Authors are invited to submit research papers describing original
contributions in testing or analysis of computer systems. Papers
describing original theoretical or empirical research, new techniques,
methods for emerging systems, in-depth case studies, infrastructures
of testing and analysis, or tools are welcome.


Experience Papers
===================
Authors are invited to submit experience papers describing a
significant experience in applying testing and analysis methods or
tools 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 testing and analysis methods or
tools.


Replication Studies
===================
ISSTA welcomes replication studies of previous papers. A replication
study must go beyond simply re-implementing an algorithm and/or
re-running the artifacts provided by the original papers. It should
assess generalizability, e.g., by applying the approach to new,
significantly broadened subject programs or inputs. Particularly
encouraged are replication studies that evaluate approaches
previously evaluated only on proprietary subject programs or inputs. A
replication study should clearly report on results that the authors
were able to replicate as well as on aspects of the work that were not
replicable. In the latter case, authors are encouraged to make an
effort to communicate or collaborate with the original paper’s authors
to determine the cause for any observed discrepancies and, if
possible, address them (e.g., through an analysis of what factors
affect generalizability).


Submissions Guideline
===================
Submissions must be original and should not have been published
previously or be under consideration for publication while being
evaluated for ISSTA.  Authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy
and Procedures on Plagiarism and the ACM Policy on Prior Publication
and Simultaneous Submissions.  Research and Experience Papers as well
as Reproducibility Studies should be at most 10 pages in length, with
at most 2 additional pages for references. All papers must be prepared
in ACM Conference Format [1]. Submit your papers via the HotCRP ISSTA
2023 submission website [2].


Double-anonymous Reviewing
===================
ISSTA 2023 will conduct double-anonymous reviewing. Submissions should
not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. Authors should
leave out author names and affiliations from the body of their
submission. They should also ensure that any citations to related work
by themselves are written in third person, that is, “the prior work of
XYZ” as opposed to “our prior work”.  Double-anonymous reviewing
should not hinder the usual communication of results. But, during the
review period, please don’t broadcast the work on social media. Also,
to the extent possible, consider not publishing preprints of your work
during or right before the review period. Authors with further
questions on double-anonymous reviewing are encouraged to contact the
Program Chair by email.


Supplementary Material
===================
Upon submission, authors are asked to make their data available to the
program committee (via upload of anonymized supplemental material or a
link to an anonymized private or public repository) or to comment on
why this is not possible or desirable. While sharing such a repository
is not mandatory for submission or acceptance, this information will
be passed to the program committee to inform its
decision. Furthermore, authors are asked to indicate whether they
intend to make their data publicly available upon acceptance.


Important Dates
===============
- First round paper submission: November 10, 2022
- First round author response: December 20-22, 2022
- First round notification: January 16, 2023

- Second round paper submission: February 16, 2023
- Second round author response: April 11-13, 2023
- Second round notification: May 3, 2023


More Information
================
ISSTA 2023 also features tracks for tools and demos, posters,
workshops, a doctoral symposium, and artefact evaluation. For
additional information, please visit the ISSTA 2023 website [3].
