GENERAL THEME<br>
<br>
The IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering (ASE) Conference series is the<br>
premier research forum for automated software engineering. Each year, it <br>
brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry <br>
to discuss foundations, techniques and tools for automating the analysis, <br>
design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of large software systems. <br>
In 2015, ASE will be celebrating its 30th year as a premier venue for novel <br>
work in software automation.<br>
<br>
=== CONFERENCE PAPERS ================================================<br>
<br>
ASE 2014 invites high quality contributions describing significant,<br>
original, and unpublished results.<br>
<br>
Solicited topics include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
o Automated reasoning techniques <br>
o Open systems development <br>
o Component-based systems <br>
o Product line methods <br>
o Computer-supported cooperative work <br>
o Program understanding <br>
o Configuration management <br>
o Program synthesis <br>
o Data mining for software engineering <br>
o Program transformation <br>
o Domain modeling and meta-modeling <br>
o Re-engineering <br>
o Empirical software engineering <br>
o Requirements engineering <br>
o Human-computer interaction <br>

<br>
Three categories of submissions are solicited:<br>
<br>
1. Technical Research Papers should describe innovative research in <br>
automating software development activities or automated support to users <br>
engaged in such activities. They should describe a novel contribution to <br>
the field and should carefully support claims of novelty with citations<br>
to the relevant literature. Where a submission builds upon previous work <br>
of the author(s), the novelty of the new contribution must be clearly <br>
described with respect to the previous work. Papers should also clearly <br>
discuss how the results were validated.<br>
<br>
2. Experience Papers should describe a significant experience in applying<br>
automated software engineering technology and should carefully identify<br>
and discuss important lessons learned so that other researchers and/or <br>
practitioners can benefit from the experience. Of special interest are <br>
experience papers that report on industrial applications of automated <br>
software engineering.<br>
<br>
3. New Ideas Papers should describe novel research directions in<br>
automating software development activities or automated support to users <br>
engaged in such activities. New ideas submissions are intended to <br>
describe well- defined research ideas that are at an early stage of<br>
investigation and may not be fully validated.<br>
<br>
Submission:<br>
<br>
All submissions must come in PDF format and conform, at time of<br>
submission, to the IEEE Formatting Guidelines. For details and<br>
templates see:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html" target="_blank">http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html</a><br>
<br>
Technical Research Papers and Experience Papers must not exceed 10<br>
pages (including figures and appendices) plus up to 2 pages that<br>
contain ONLY references. New Ideas Papers must not exceed 6 pages<br>
(including figures, appendices AND references). Submissions that do<br>
not adhere to these limits or that violate the formatting guidelines<br>
will be desk-rejected without review. All submissions must be in<br>
English.<br>
<br>
Papers submitted to ASE 2015 must not have been previously published<br>
and must not be under review for publication elsewhere. All papers<br>
that conform to submission guidelines will be peer-reviewed by members<br>
of the Program Committee and members of the Expert Review Panel. <br>
Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, soundness, <br>
relevance, importance of contribution, evaluation, quality of <br>
presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. Note that<br>
the Program Committee may re-assign a submission into a different<br>
category than the one it is submitted to if it decides that it is a<br>
better fit for that category.<br>
<br>
Acceptance:<br>
<br>
All accepted papers will be published by IEEE, provided that at least<br>
one author of each accepted paper registers as a full registration for<br>
the conference and presents the paper. Failure to do so may result in<br>
the paper being pulled out of the Digital Library.<br>
<br>

=== TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS ==============================================<br>
<br>
<a href="http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-demos" target="_blank">http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-demos</a><br>
<br>
Automated software engineering consists of automating processes related <br>
to requirements, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of <br>
software systems. Automating these processes in the form of tools <br>
facilitates better productivity and improve the overall quality of software. <br>
The tool demonstrations track provides an opportunity for researchers and<br>
practitioners to present and discuss their most recent advances,<br>
experiences, and challenges in the field of automated software engineering.<br>
<br>
ASE 2015 solicits high-quality submissions for its tool demonstrations<br>
track. We invite submission on tools that are either (a) early research <br>
prototypes or (b) mature tools, with a significant novel Improvement, <br>
and that have not yet been commercialized. Submissions should highlight <br>
the underlying scientific contributions, engineering ingenuity, <br>
applicability to a broader software engineering audience, and/or potential <br>
for or realization of scaling the tool. In contrast to a Technical Research <br>
track paper intended to provide details of a novel automated software <br>
engineering technique, a tool demonstration paper should indicate how the <br>
technique has been implemented as a functioning tool and how that tool <br>
should be used by its intended audience. We encourage authors of papers <br>
submitted to the Technical Research track to submit an accompanying tool <br>
demonstration paper.<br>
<br>
The tool demonstration program committee will review each submission to <br>
assess the relevance and quality of the proposed tool demonstration<br>
in terms of the usefulness of the tool, its ease of use by its intended <br>
users, its presentation quality, and a limited, but appropriate discussion <br>
of related tools. Accepted tool demonstrations will be allocated 5 pages <br>
in the conference proceedings: 4 pages for prose and up to one additional <br>
page for references. Authors of accepted tool demonstrations papers<br>
are required to give a presentation (read: live demo) of the tool during <br>
the conference. There will also be an area open to attendees at scheduled<br>
times during the conference during which demonstrators will also present <br>
their work in an more informal manner. <br>

Alessandra Gorla, IMDEA Software Institute, Spain<br>
<br>
=== WORKSHOPS ========================================================<br>
<br>
<a href="http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-workshops" target="_blank">http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-workshops</a><br>
<br>
A workshop co-located with the ASE 2015 conference should provide an<br>
opportunity for exchanging views, advancing ideas, and discussing<br>
preliminary results on topics related to Automated Software<br>
Engineering. Workshops may also serve as platforms to nurture new<br>
scientific communities. Workshops should not be seen as an alternative<br>
forum for presenting full research papers. The workshops co-located<br>
with the conference will be organized before the main conference<br>
(Monday, Tuesday). The organizers will decide the exact day after the<br>
proposals have been reviewed and accepted. A workshop may last one or<br>
two days.<br>
<br>
Workshop Co-Chairs:<br>

David Lo, Singapore Management University, Singapore<br>
Anita Sarma, University of Nebraska—Lincoln, USA<br>
<br>
=== TUTORIALS ========================================================<br>
<br>
<a href="http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-tutorials" target="_blank">http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-tutorials</a><br>
<br>
Tutorials address a wide range of mature topics from theoretical<br>
foundations to practical techniques and tools for automated software<br>
engineering. Tutorials are intended to provide independent instruction<br>
on a relevant theme; therefore, no commercial or sales-oriented<br>
proposals will be accepted. The tutorials will be organized either on<br>
the Monday or Tuesday before the main conference. The general chair<br>
and organizers will decide the exact dates after all proposals have<br>
been reviewed and accepted.<br>
<br>
Tutorial Co-Chairs:<br>
<br>
Henry Muccini,University of L'Aquila, Italy<br>
Tien Nguyen, Iowa State University, USA<br>

=== DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM ===============================================<br>
<br>
<a href="http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-doctoral" target="_blank">http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-doctoral</a>
<br>
<br>
The goal of the ASE 2015 Doctoral Symposium is to provide a supportive <br>
yet questioning setting in which the PhD students have an opportunity <br>
to present and discuss their research with other researchers in the <br>
ASE community. The symposium aims at providing students useful guidance <br>
and feedback on their research and to facilitate networking within the <br>
scientific community by interacting with established researchers and <br>
with their peers at a similar stage in their careers.<br>
