GENERAL THEME
The IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering (ASE) Conference series 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. In 2015, ASE will be celebrating its 30th year as a premier venue for novel work in software automation.
CONFERENCE PAPERS
ASE 2014 invites high quality contributions describing significant, original, and unpublished results.
Solicited topics include, but are not limited to:
- Automated reasoning techniques
- Open systems development
- Component-based systems
- Product line methods
- Computer-supported cooperative work
- Program understanding
- Configuration management
- Program synthesis
- Data mining for software engineering
- Program transformation
- Domain modeling and meta-modeling
- Re-engineering
- Empirical software engineering
- Requirements engineering
- Human-computer interaction
- Specification languages
- Knowledge acquisition and management
- Software analysis
- Maintenance and evolution
- Software architecture and design
- Testing, verification, and validation
- Model-based software development
- Software visualization
- Model transformation
- Model-driven engineering
- Modeling language semantics
Three 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. 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.
- New Ideas Papers should describe novel research directions in automating software development activities or automated support to users engaged in such activities. New ideas submissions are intended to describe well- defined research ideas that are at an early stage of investigation and may not be fully validated.
Submission:
All submissions must come in PDF format and conform, at time of submission, to the IEEE Formatting Guidelines. For details and templates see:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Technical Research Papers and Experience Papers must not exceed 10 pages (including figures and appendices) plus up to 2 pages that
contain ONLY references. New Ideas Papers must not exceed 6 pages (including figures, appendices AND references). Submissions that do
not adhere to these limits or that violate the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected without review. All submissions must be in English.
Papers submitted to ASE 2015 must not have been previously published and must not be under review for publication elsewhere. All papers
that conform to submission guidelines will be peer-reviewed by members of the Program Committee and members of the Expert Review Panel.
Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, soundness, relevance, importance of contribution, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. Note that the Program Committee may re-assign a submission into a different category than the one it is submitted to if it decides that it is a better fit for that category.
Acceptance:
All accepted papers will be published by IEEE, provided that at least one author of each accepted paper registers as a full registration for the conference and presents the paper. Failure to do so may result in the paper being pulled out of the Digital Library.
Program Chairs:
- Lars Grunske, University of Stuttgart, Germany
- Michael Whalen, University of Minnesota, USA
TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS
http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-demos
Automated software engineering consists of automating processes related to requirements, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of
software systems. Automating these processes in the form of tools facilitates better productivity and improve the overall quality of software. The tool demonstrations track provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their most recent advances, experiences, and challenges in the field of automated software engineering.
ASE 2015 solicits high-quality submissions for its tool demonstrations track. We invite submission on tools that are either (a) early research prototypes or (b) mature tools, with a significant novel Improvement, and that have not yet been commercialized. Submissions should highlight
the underlying scientific contributions, engineering ingenuity, applicability to a broader software engineering audience, and/or potential for or realization of scaling the tool. In contrast to a Technical Research track paper intended to provide details of a novel automated software engineering technique, a tool demonstration paper should indicate how the technique has been implemented as a functioning tool and how that tool should be used by its intended audience. We encourage authors of papers submitted to the Technical Research track to submit an accompanying tool demonstration paper.
The tool demonstration program committee will review each submission to assess the relevance and quality of the proposed tool demonstration
in terms of the usefulness of the tool, its ease of use by its intended users, its presentation quality, and a limited, but appropriate discussion of related tools. Accepted tool demonstrations will be allocated 5 pages in the conference proceedings: 4 pages for prose and up to one additional page for references. Authors of accepted tool demonstrations papers are required to give a presentation (read: live demo) of the tool during
the conference. There will also be an area open to attendees at scheduled times during the conference during which demonstrators will also present their work in an more informal manner.
Tool Demonstration Co-Chairs:
- Andrew Begel, Microsoft Research, USA
- Alessandra Gorla, IMDEA Software Institute, Spain
WORKSHOPS
http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-workshops
A workshop co-located with the ASE 2015 conference should provide an opportunity for exchanging views, advancing ideas, and discussing
preliminary results on topics related to Automated Software Engineering. Workshops may also serve as platforms to nurture new scientific communities. Workshops should not be seen as an alternative forum for presenting full research papers. The workshops co-located with the conference will be organized before the main conference (Monday, Tuesday). The organizers will decide the exact day after the proposals have been reviewed and accepted. A workshop may last one or two days.
Workshop Co-Chairs:
- David Lo, Singapore Management University, Singapore
- Anita Sarma, University of Nebraska--Lincoln, USA
TUTORIALS
http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-tutorials
Tutorials address a wide range of mature topics from theoretical foundations to practical techniques and tools for automated software engineering. Tutorials are intended to provide independent instruction on a relevant theme; therefore, no commercial or sales-oriented proposals will be accepted. The tutorials will be organized either on the Monday or Tuesday before the main conference. The general chair and organizers will decide the exact dates after all proposals have been reviewed and accepted.
Tutorial Co-Chairs:
- Henry Muccini,University of L'Aquila, Italy
- Tien Nguyen, Iowa State University, USA
DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM
http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-doctoral
The goal of the ASE 2015 Doctoral Symposium is to provide a supportive yet questioning setting in which the PhD students have an opportunity to present and discuss their research with other researchers in the ASE community. The symposium aims at providing students useful guidance and feedback on their research and to facilitate networking within the scientific community by interacting with established researchers and with their peers at a similar stage in their careers.
