The Vision Papers should present long term challenges and opportunities instead of incremental improvements or evaluations of current solutions or practices. Typically, they include creative ways to extend the applicability of techniques in empirical software engineering and/or challenge the existing explicit or implicit assumptions or paradigms in the field. Bold calls to action for potential novel directions supported by a well-motivated scientific intuition or argument, as well as well-grounded predictions of how empirical software engineering research and practice will look in the far future are welcome.

The Emerging Results Papers should describe current work in progress on research and practice and communicate preliminary, initial research results for which the complete evaluation is not yet carried out. This type of paper could also include ideas on how to execute the research in the future, the longer-term objectives, planned work and expected results. Startling emerging results that disregard established results or beliefs, proposals on fundamentally new research directions are welcome. This track particularly invites work on how to evaluate the solutions (e.g., practices, methodologies, technologies, tools, and software based services) which are on the emerging areas of software engineering, for example,

• related to emerging technologies (Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Software Analytics) or
• ones that appear in emerging infrastructures of software engineering (Cloud Computing, DevOps, Healthcare, Smart Cities, and IoT).

We are particularly interested in how the existing empirical research methods can be tailored for evaluating software-based solutions developed with emerging technologies infrastructures. The primary purpose of the Emerging Results papers is to communicate new ideas to get an early feedback from the empirical software engineering community.

The vision and emerging results papers must not exceed 6 pages.
