The ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and the ACM
SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (ESEC/FSE)
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. Formerly the FSE conference in alternating years and
ESEC/FSE in other years, ESEC/FSE is now the new name of this annual
conference series. The ESEC/FSE conference 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. The conference is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest
Group on Software Engineering (SIGSOFT).

Call for Submissions
--------------------

General Chair: Gary T. Leavens

### Research Papers

Chairs: Corina Pasareanu, Alessandro Garcia
http://2018.fseconference.org/track/fse-2018-research-papers

We invite high-quality submissions describing original and unpublished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. 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.

ESEC/FSE 2018 will employ a lightweight double-blind review process.
Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the
Program Committee.

Submission Guidelines
---------------------

At the time of submission, all papers must conform to the ESEC/FSE 2018
Format and Submission Guidelines (https://2018.fseconference.org/attend
ing/Submission+Policies), and must not exceed the page limits that are
listed in the appropriate call for papers. 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 appropriate ESEC/FSE submission
site (as noted in the appropriate call for papers). See conference
website for more details about submissions for each track.
