OVERVIEW/SCOPE<br>
**************<br>
The joint meeting of the European Software Engineering
Conference and the<br>
ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software
Engineering is an <br>
internationally renowned forum for researchers,
practitioners, and <br>
educators to present and discuss the most recent
innovations, trends, <br>
experiences, and challenges in the field of software
engineering. Held <br>
bi- annually, ESEC/FSE brings together experts from academia
and industry <br>
to exchange the latest research results and trends, as
well as their <br>
practical application in all areas of software engineering.<br>
<br>
</font></small><small><font face="Courier New">Distinguished
papers from ESEC/FSE 2011 will be invited to submit a<br>
revised and extended version of their paper to ACM
Transactions on<br>
Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM).<br>
<br>
</font></small><small><font face="Courier New">Topics of
interest for ESEC/FSE include, but are not limited to:<br>
- Agile software development<br>
- Case studies and experience reports<br>
- Computer supported cooperative work<br>
- Empirical software engineering<br>
- End user software engineering<br>
- Engineering for mobile, ubiquitous and pervasive systems<br>
- Engineering of distributed/parallel software systems<br>
- Engineering of embedded and real–time software<br>
- Engineering secure software<br>
- Human–computer interaction<br>
- Internet and information systems development<br>
- Patterns and frameworks<br>
- Program comprehension and visualization<br>
- Reverse engineering and maintenance<br>
- Software architecture and design<br>
- Software components and reuse<br>
- Software configuration management and deployment<br>
- Software dependability, safety and reliability<br>
- Software economics and metrics<br>
- Software policy and ethics<br>
- Software processes and workflows<br>
- Software requirements engineering<br>
- Software testing and analysis<br>
- Software tools and development environments<br>
- Theory and formal methods <br>
<br>
<br>
RESEARCH TRACK<br>
**************<br>
We invite high quality submissions of technical/research
papers describing<br>
original and unpublished results of theoretical, empirical,
conceptual, <br>
and experimental software engineering research. Research
papers should <br>
describe innovative and significant original research relevant
to ESEC/FSE.<br>
Submissions of papers describing groundbreaking approaches
to emerging <br>
problems will be considered based on timeliness and potential
impact.<br>
<br>
*Artifact Evaluation*<br>
To reward creation of artifacts and replication of
experiments, authors of<br>
accepted research papers can have their artifacts ( tools,
data, models, <br>
videos, etc. ) evaluated by an Artifact Evaluation
Committee. Artifacts <br>
that pass muster will be recognized formally, and be
fast-tracked for <br>
additional presentation. Artifacts that are deemed especially
meritorious<br>
will be singled out for special recognition in the
proceedings and at the<br>
conference.<br>
<br>
*Important Dates*<br>
Submissions: 11 March, 2011<br>
Notification: 3 June, 2011<br>
<br>
<br>
INDUSTRY TRACK<br>
**************<br>
In 2011, a new industrial track will be added to the
ESEC/FSE program. <br>
Industrial track presentations are expected to have a
strong focus on<br>
industrial applications of software engineering
techniques, tools, <br>
methodologies, processes, and practices, and on case studies
and reports <br>
on their actual usage in industry.<br>
<br>
*Important Dates*<br>
Submissions: 3 April, 2011<br>
Notification: 3 June, 2011<br>
<br>
<br>
NEW IDEAS TRACK<br>
***************<br>
We invite short papers on ideas in early stages of
development.<br>
Participants will have the opportunity to present a
summary of their <br>
work in the form of a short talk, with a paper and/or a
poster.<br>
<br>
*Important Dates*<br>
Submissions: 12 June, 2011<br>
<br>
<br>
TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS TRACK<br>
*************************<br>
We invite innovative research tool demonstrations, intended
to show early<br>
implementations of novel software engineering concepts, as
well as mature <br>
prototypes.<br>
<br>
*Important Dates*<br>
Submissions: 12 June, 2011<br>
<br>
<br>
TECHNICAL BRIEFINGS TRACK<br>
*************************<br>
At ESEC/FSE Technical Briefings, participants will be able to
attend topic<br>
presentations of their choice to learn about the
state-of-the-art in <br>
different areas of Software Engineering. Proposals for
topics and <br>
presenters are welcome.<br>
<br>
*Important Dates*<br>
Submissions: 3 April, 2011<br>
Notification: 3 June, 2011<br>
<br>
<br>
DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM<br>
******************<br>
The symposium will provide PhD students with an opportunity to
present and<br>
discuss their research with senior researchers in the software
engineering<br>
community.<br>
<br>
*Important Dates*<br>
Submissions: 3 April, 2011<br>
Notification: 3 June, 2011<br>
<br>
<br>
PHD WORKING GROUPS<br>
******************<br>
This year we will establish PhD Working Groups to stimulate
interaction <br>
within the student community and between students and the
wider conference.<br>
The groups will be open to both current PhD students and to
early career <br>
researchers. The aim of each group will be to identify and
clarify the <br>
principal research questions and challenges within a
current subarea of <br>
software engineering research.<br>
<br>
<br>
WORKSHOPS<br>
*********<br>
ESEC/FSE 2011 is soliciting proposals for workshops to
be held in<br>
conjunction (before or after) with the main conference.
Workshops aim to<br>
provide opportunities for exchanging views , advancing
ideas , and <br>
discussing preliminary results in various areas of software
engineering <br>
research and applications. Workshops are not an
alternative forum for <br>
presenting full research papers. If you would like to
bring together a <br>
group of researchers on a topic you consider relevant and
exciting, you <br>
should consider submitting a workshop proposal.<br>
<br>
*Important Dates*<br>
Submissions: 21 March, 2011<br>
Notification: 8 April, 2011<br>
