EASE 2020: CALL FOR PAPERS

24th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering

14-17 April, 2020, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway

The International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE) is one of the premier conferences to present research results related to empirical software engineering. EASE provides a stimulating forum where researchers and practitioners can present and discuss recent research results on a wide range of topics within empirical evaluation of software engineering technologies, practices, and tools; transferring and applying empirical research methods from other disciplines to empirical software engineering and reflections on the use of such methods, etc.

Types of Submission

The conference invites the following types of submission:

• Full Technical Papers (max. 10 pages)
• Short Papers and Artefacts (4 - 6 pages)
• Vision Paper and Emerging Results Track (4 - 6 pages)
• Industry experience and perspective reports (max. 2 pages extended abstract)
• Posters and Doctoral Symposium submissions (up to 2 pages)
• Tutorials (1 page overview)
• Discussion Panel proposals (1 page overview)
• Workshops proposals (up to 5 pages)

Topics 

We welcome submissions of original and unpublished research in all areas of empirical software engineering (requirements engineering, architecture design, development, testing, process evaluation, and alike), which include, but are not limited to:

• Assessing the benefits / costs associated with using chosen development technologies
• Cross- and multi-disciplinary methods and studies
• Case studies, action-research, and field studies, including multilevel research designs
• Design science studies
• Development and evaluation of empirical prediction systems or software estimation models
• Empirical studies using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods
• Empirically-based decision making
• Evaluation and comparison of techniques and models
• Experiments and quasi-experiments
• Survey research
• Systematic literature reviews
• Meta-analysis, qualitative and quantitative synthesis of studies
• Modeling, measuring, and assessing product and/or process quality
• Replication of empirical studies and families of studies
• Software engineering analytics
• Simulation-based studies in software engineering
• Software project management and knowledge management
• Software technology transfer to the industry

Submission Details

Submitted papers must be written in English, contain original unpublished work, and conform to the ACM Proceedings Format (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template​). The conference enforces the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism-overview).

To reduce bias in reviews, EASE conference will use double-blind review process.

As a result, the manuscripts should be submitted for review anonymously (i.e., without listing the author’s names on the paper) and references to own work should be made in third person.

Please use submit manuscripts via EasyChair, and in pdf format: (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ease2020 ).

All accepted papers will be published by ACM in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series. The ACM offers options for Open Access (https://www.acm.org/openaccess).

At least one author of each accepted paper must register by the camera-ready deadline.
