OVERVIEW

The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering 
brings together researchers and practitioners to share ideas on the 
foundations, techniques, tools, and applications of automated software 
engineering. ASE 2012 will include technical papers, experience papers, 
invited keynotes, tutorials, workshops, tool demonstrations, and a 
doctoral symposium.

The ASE 2012 conference will be held from September 3-7, 2012 in Essen, 
Germany.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Abstract Submission:	February 24th, 2012
Paper Submission:	March 2nd, 2012
Notification:   	June 18th, 2012

Submission details for the main conference and all tracks will be 
available on the conference website

MAIN CONFERENCE PAPERS

Software engineering is concerned with the analysis, design, 
implementation, testing, and maintenance of large software systems. 
Automated software engineering focuses on how to automate or partially 
automate these tasks to achieve significant improvements in quality and 
productivity. ASE 2012 encourages contributions describing basic 
research, novel applications, and experience reports. In all cases, 
papers should carefully describe the relevance of their contributions to 
the automation of software engineering tasks. The ASE On-line 
Bibliography can serve as a reference for potential contributors: 
http://www.ase-conferences.org/olbib/index.html. Solicited topics 
include, but are not limited to:

* Automated reasoning techniques
* Component-based systems
* Computer-supported cooperative work
* Configuration management
* Data mining and software engineering
* Domain modeling and meta-modeling
* Empirical software engineering
* Human-computer interaction
* Knowledge acquisition and management
* Maintenance and evolution
* Model-based software development
* Model-driven engineering and model transformation
* Modeling language semantics
* Open systems development
* Product line methods
* Program understanding
* Program synthesis
* Program transformation
* Re-engineering
* Requirements engineering
* Specification languages
* Software Analysis
* Software architecture and design
* Software visualization
* Testing, verification, and validation
* Tutoring, help, and documentation systems

All accepted papers will be published by the Association for Computing 
Machinery (ACM). ASE 2012 will accept two categories of paper to the 
main conference:

(i) Technical 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.

(ii) 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.

Submissions under both categories should not exceed 10 pages in the 
two-column conference format (see note below). Papers will be 
administratively rejected and will not be reviewed if they exceed the 
10-page limit or use condensed formatting. For guidelines and formatting 
files, see: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.

Papers submitted to ASE 2012 must not have been previously published and 
must not be under review for publication elsewhere. Papers must strictly 
adhere to submission guidelines. Authors are strongly encouraged to 
explain the relationship between the submission and any other related 
works from the authors, including ones under review elsewhere, in the 
appropriate place in the submitted paper.

All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be peer-reviewed 
by PC members. Papers may be accepted either as full papers or as short 
papers. In this last case the camera-ready should be no longer than 4 
pages. All accepted short papers will be presented in a poster session.

Submission details for the main conference and all tracks will be 
available on the conference website.
