Call For Papers: ICSE Software Engineering in Practice 2020
The Software Engineering in Practice (SEIP) Track is the premier venue for
researchers and practitioners to discuss insights, innovations and solutions
to concrete software engineering problems. The track will be composed of
invited speeches, paper presentations, reviewed talks, interactive sessions
with a strong focus on software practice.
* Submissions
We are seeking the following types of submissions, all of which must be
written exclusively in English.
- Full papers (8-10 pages, including figures, tables, appendices, and
references)
Full papers address industrially-relevant problems through systematic
investigations. Each paper should describe a problem of practical importance,
explain how the problem was investigated and in what context, and present
evidence for the paper's conclusions. Other aspects that should be included if
appropriate are: discussing why the resolution of the problem is innovative,
(cost-) effective, or efficient; providing a concise explanation of the
approach, techniques, and methodologies employed; and explaining the insights
or best practices that emerged, tools developed, and/or software processes
involved.
Full papers will appear in the ICSE SEIP Companion proceedings. IEEE Software
will recognize the best paper of the SEIP track with an award at the
conference.
- Talk proposals (2 pages)
Talks present topics that are likely to be relevant and interesting to both
practitioners and researchers. Talk proposals should include the title, the
name and affiliation of each presenter, a short abstract (150 words), and up
to 8 keywords. In addition, the proposal should describe what the talk will be
about, highlighting its key points and the reason why it is interesting to
ICSE-SEIP attendees (500 words). Submissions should include a speaker
biography and history, and they can include supporting materials such as
whitepapers or videos.
Please note that the target audience of the talk proposal is the SEIP program
committee. Talk proposals will be reviewed in two phases. The outcome of the
first phase is either rejected or conditionally accepted for the next phase.
In the second phase, submitters will be required to prepare the complete
presentation slides. The target audience of the second phase talk proposal is
the attendees of the SEIP track and readers of the proceedings. The committee
will then review the presentation slides and make the final accept/reject
decisions. Each accepted talk will be of 30 minutes duration and will be
allowed two pages for an "extended abstract" in the ICSE SEIP Companion
proceedings.
- Interactive proposals (2 pages)
Interactive sessions are aimed at practitioners but should be attractive for
all audiences. Interactive sessions will be 60 minutes' duration and will
explore an aspect of practice in-depth. They may take the form of, for
example, a panel discussion or live coding session (but should not aim to
promote a specific proprietary tool). We welcome new and thought-provoking
ideas and formats, and encourage submitters to contact the chairs at any time
with their suggestions before making a formal proposal.
Interactive proposals should include a title, the name and affiliation of each
presenter, a short abstract that describes the focus of the session and the
outcomes for attendees (150 words), and up to 8 keywords. In addition, the
proposal should describe why the session focus is important, outlining the
session structure and the reason why it is interesting to ICSE-SEIP attendees
(500 words). Like talk proposals, interactive proposals will be reviewed in
two phases. The outcome of the first phase is either rejected or conditionally
accepted for the next phase. In the second phase, submitters will be required
to prepare a detailed plan of the session and a complete set of materials to
be used. Each interactive session will be allowed two pages for an "extended
abstract" in the ICSE SEIP Companion proceedings.
- Formatting guidelines:
Formatting instructions are available at
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template for both LaTeX and Word
users. LaTeX users must use the provided acmart.cls and
ACM-Reference-Format.bst without modification, enable the conference format in
the preamble of the document (i.e., documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}),
and use the ACM reference format for the bibliography (i.e.,
ibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}). The review option adds line
numbers, thereby allowing referees to refer to specific lines in their
comments.
* Evaluation
All submissions will be reviewed by members of the SEIP Program Committee.
Submissions must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted
elsewhere. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of relevance to
industry, significance of contribution, and quality of presentation.
* Special Issue
Authors from this track will be encouraged to submit an extended version of
their work to Journal of Software: Practice and Experience's special issue on
software engineering in practice.
