The joint meeting of the European Software Engineering Conference and the ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering is an internationally renowned forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in the field of software engineering. Held bi-annually, ESEC/FSE brings together experts from academia and industry to exchange the latest research results and trends, as well as their practical application in all areas of software engineering.

ESEC/FSE 2015 is the 10th edition of the conference. It will take place in Bergamo, considered to be an open-air museum with one of the most important Renaissance and Baroque art collections of Italy.

ICSE back to Italy!

Two decades after ICSE 1994 in Sorrento, we are proud to organize the 37th edition of the premier International Conference on Software Engineering® in the very heart of Florence/Firenze, the capital city of Tuscany region and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. For one week scientists and engineers promoting the advancement of information technology will convene from worldwide into the birthplace of the Renaissance and one of the Italian fashion capitals: doesn’t it look like a promising cultural blend between art and science?

Please join us, contribute to make ICSE 2015 a high quality and unforgettable event!

We gratefully acknowledge ICSE2015 Sponsors and Supporters

ACM Software Engineering Notes – http://www.sigsoft.org/SEN/subpub.html

We invite high quality submissions describing original and unpublished results of theoretical, empirical, conceptual, and experimental software engineering research. Contributions should describe innovative and significant original research relevant to FSE. Submissions of papers describing groundbreaking approaches to emerging problems will also be considered. Submissions that facilitate reproducibility by using available data sets or making the described tools publicly available are especially encouraged. Papers submitted for consideration should not have been already published elsewhere and should not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the duration of consideration. Specifically, authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism and the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions.

How to Submit

At the time of submission all papers must conform to the FSE 2014 Format and Submission Guidelines, and must not exceed 10 pages for all text and figures plus a reasonable number of additional pages for references. All submissions must be in English and in PDF format. Submissions that do not comply with the above instructions will be desk rejected without review. Papers must be submitted electronically through the FSE submission site. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. The program committee as a whole will make final decisions about which submissions to accept for presentation at the conference.

Artifact Evaluation

Results presented in technical papers are often validated or supported by software artifacts. To reward the effort of creating artifacts, authors of accepted research paper may, if they wish, have their tools, data or model evaluated by the Artifact Evaluation Committee. After the research paper notification, authors of accepted papers will be contacted to submit their artifact for evaluation. (Authors are also encouraged to make available online, when applicable and at the time of their submission, research artifacts related to their submitted work.) Artifacts that are positively evaluated, will be formally recognized in the proceedings and at the conference. To recognize the contribution of a significant and high-quality research artifact, the program committee will select one of the accepted papers to receive a “Best Artifact Award”.

Important Dates

• Full paper submission date: March 16, 2014 (23:59:59 AOE, AOE Time Reference)
• Notification date: June 16, 2014
• Camera ready date: August 18, 2014

New: ACM SIGSOFT will make the conference proceedings in the ACM Digital Library fully open for download two weeks prior to the conference.

The ACM conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing is an international and interdisciplinary conference focused on how technology intersects with social practices. The conference offers several types of submission with deadlines and decision notification dates as follows:

We invite submission to a wide range of venues including papers, posters, demos, panels, workshops, and a doctoral consortium. The scope of CSCW spans socio-technical domains including work, home, education, healthcare, the arts, leisure, and entertainment. The conference seeks novel research results or new ways of thinking about, studying, or supporting shared activities in these and related areas:

• Social and crowd computing. Studies, theories, designs, mechanisms, systems, and/or infrastructures addressing social media, social networking, wikis, blogs, online gaming, crowdsourcing, collective intelligence, virtual worlds or collaborative information behaviors.
• System Design. Hardware, architectures, infrastructures, interaction design, technical foundations, algorithms, and/or toolkits that enable the building of new social and collaborative systems and experiences.
• Theories. Critical analysis or theory with clear relevance to the design or study of social and collaborative systems.
• Empirical investigations. Findings, guidelines, and/or studies related to communication, collaboration, and social technologies, practices, or use. CSCW welcomes diverse methods and approaches.
• Mining and Modeling. Studies, analyses and infrastructures for making use of large- and small-scale data.
• Methodologies and tools. Novel methods or combinations of approaches and tools used in building systems or studying their use.
• Domain-specific social and collaborative applications. Including applications to healthcare, transportation, gaming, ICT4D, sustainability, education, accessibility, global collaboration, or other domains.
• Collaboration systems based on emerging technologies. Mobile and ubiquitous computing, game engines, virtual worlds, multi-touch, novel display technologies, vision and gesture recognition, big data, MOOCs, crowd labor markets, SNSes, or sensing systems.
• Crossing boundaries. Studies, prototypes, or other investigations that explore interactions across disciplines, distance, languages, generations, and cultures, to help better understand how to transcend social, temporal, and/or spatial boundaries.
