SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submissions must conform to the ICSE 2015 format and submission
instructions. Papers must not exceed 12 pages, 10 pages for the main
text, including figures, tables, appendices, etc, and up to 2 pages
for references. As part of the online submission process, we ask
authors to self-identify: i) conflicts of interest with members of the
PC and the RC committees (according to the COI rules at
<http://www.sigsoft.org/about/policies/pc-policy.htm>); and ii)
submissions with one or more of the following categories: Analytical,
Empirical, Methodological, Perspectives, and Technological. For
instructions about submissions please visit:
<http://2015.icse-conferences.org/technical-research-submission>.

SUBMISSION EVALUATION PROCESS

Each submission will be reviewed by the Program Co-Chairs to ensure
compliance with the required submission format, compliance rules, and
scope. Submissions that do not meet these criteria will be
rejected. Submissions that meet the criteria of the conference will be
reviewed and evaluated on the basis of originality, evaluation,
soundness, importance of contribution, quality of presentation, and
appropriate comparison to related work.

* New to ICSE 2015 *

To scale to the increasing number of ICSE submissions, to enable
broader community participation, and to have access to additional
reviewing expertise, ICSE 2015 will tap into the expertise of two
committees working in tandem: a Program Committee (PC) and a Reviewing
Committee (RC). The reviewing process will consist of two phases. In
the first phase, PC and RC members will provide two reviews
per submission. Submissions with at least one supportive review will
advance to the second phase where they will receive a third review by
a PC member. This will be followed by an on-line discussion to clarify
reviewers' positions, the assignment of an additional reviewer if
necessary, and a physical meeting with PC members to decide the final
list of accepted papers. More details about the reviewing process can
be found at <http://2015.icse-conferences.org/technical-research-faq>.
