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.
