=====================================================================
The Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE)
conference is an internationally-leading venue for academics and
practitioners to present and discuss their research on
evidence-based software engineering and its implications for
software practice. The 23rd edition of EASE will be organized
between 15th and 17th April 2019 at the IT University of
Copenhagen, Denmark.
EASE 2019 welcomes high-quality research submissions to different
tracks: Full Research Papers, Short Papers & Artefacts,
Emerging Results & Vision, Industry Track, Doctoral Symposium,
and Posters (see the details below). Submissions may cover any
topic related to the empirical and evidence-based software
engineering, such as:
- Experiments and quasi-experiments
- Replications of empirical studies
- Case studies
- Action research
- Experience reports
- Survey research
- Field studies
- Ethnographic
- Grounded theory
- Observational studies
- Systematic reviews, mapping studies and meta-analyses
- Methodological issues and practices
- Tools to support empirical and evidence-based research and
evaluation
FULL RESEARCH PAPERS TRACK
The EASE full research paper track seeks submissions reporting
original, unpublished research covering any aspect of
Experimental, Empirical and Evidence-Based Software Engineering,
for example the use of quantitative and qualitative methods for
empirical evaluation of software engineering technologies,
methods, and tools. This track particularly welcome the research
that is aimed at innovative use of established and/or development
and use of new research approaches and tools for supporting
Evidence-Based Software Engineering. The full research papers will
not exceed 10 pages.
IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE FULL RESEARCH PAPERS TRACK
Abstract submission: December 20, 2018
Papers submission: January 10, 2019
Notification: February 28, 2019
EMERGING RESULTS AND VISION TRACK
Emerging Results and Vision track will accept the following kinds
of papers (no longer than 6 pages):
* The Emerging Results Papers should aim at reporting preliminary,
initial research results for which the complete evaluation is not
yet carried out. The primary purpose of the Emerging Results
papers is to communicate new ideas to get an early feedback from
the empirical software engineering community. This track
particularly invites work on how to evaluate the solutions (e.g.,
practices, methodologies, technologies, tools, and software based
services) which are on the emerging areas of software engineering,
for example, (a) related to emerging technologies (Artificial
Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Software Analytics) or (b)
ones that appear in emerging infrastructures of software
engineering (Cloud Computing, DevOps, Healthcare, Smart Cities,
and IoT). We are particularly interested in how the existing
empirical research methods can be used or tailored for evaluating
such software-based solutions being developed with emerging
technologies infrastructures.
* The Vision Papers should present long term challenges and
opportunities instead of incremental improvements or evaluations
of current solutions or practices. Typically, they include
creative ways to extend the applicability of techniques in
empirical software engineering and/or challenge the existing
explicit or implicit assumptions or paradigms in the field. Bold
calls to action for potential novel directions supported by a
well-motivated scientific intuition or argument, as well as
well-grounded predictions of how empirical software engineering
research and practice will look in the far future are welcome.
IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE EMERGING RESULTS AND VISION TRACK
Abstract submission: January 20, 2019
Papers submission: January 27, 2019
Notification: February 17, 2019
SHORT PAPERS AND ARTEFACTS TRACK
Submissions (to both short papers and artefacts categories) should
be limited to 4 – 6 pages, including figures, tables, and
references.
SHORT PAPERS:
The short paper category invites submission of insightful research
that can often go unrecognized under the standard review process.
This includes, but is not limited to, for instance:
* Critic of established methodology and/or practice;
* Research on controversial topics;
* “Folklore” confirmations: when a sound research finds “what
everyone knows already”. Though often these “common sense”
findings have not been scientifically proven, such findings are
frequently considered “not new enough” under traditional peer
review;
* Unexpected results: when empirical evaluation results diverge
dramatically from the expectations, and the researchers do not
find what they were looking for;
* Confirmation studies, when a new study confirms previously well
known results;
* Methodological failure reports, where poor design invalidates
otherwise interesting findings (both the findings and study design
flaws need to be discussed).
EMPIRICAL ARTEFACTS:
The artefact category encourages submission of artefacts which can
provide value to the broader empirical research, e.g., datasets,
raw data collected for experimental research, along with the
description of tools/environments/scripts which can be used to
facilitate reuse of this dataset for other study designs. Artefact
submissions should also include a paper that explains what the
artefacts are, how they were created (e.g., how data was
collected), and how they can be reused.
EASE aims to promote artefact reuse, and, to this end, will build
a topic-specific community-wide catalogue to support empirical
research.
IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE SHORT PAPERS AND ARTEFACTS TRACK
Abstract submission: January 27, 2019
Papers submission: February 3, 2019
Notification: February 25, 2019
INDUSTRY TRACK
The industry track welcomes contributions from the industry
practitioners and researchers collaborating closely with the
industry in the same areas as the main track. The industry
practitioners my share their experiences of assessing current
practice, adopting and evaluating new methods, practices or
technologies, and gathering local or contextual evidence. We
invite four types of submissions to this track:
1. For the first time in EASE, we introduce Experience reports:
The experience report authors submit an extended abstract first,
then they are assigned an experienced writer as a shepherd to
guide them through the paper writing process.
2. The Empirical studies in the industry are conducted in an
industrial setting and short papers are written by researchers or
practitioners or co-authored by both.
3. The Industry talk submissions are aimed at those industry
practitioners that have an interesting story to tell, but instead
of writing a paper, prefer sharing their experiences in the
conference by giving a talk.
4. We solicit Panel proposals on topics that are likely to be
relevant and of interest to industrial attendees.

DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM TRACK
The objective of the symposium is to provide junior researchers
with the opportunity to present their work to the empirical
software engineering community and receive valuable feedback from
experienced researchers in that community. The symposium will
facilitate the exchange of ideas among young and experienced
researchers. To do so, experienced members of the empirical
software engineering community will serve as the symposium
advisors and provide feedback to students presenting their work.
Participants are doctoral students, preferably at a mid-point in
their dissertation work (i.e. are at least 12 months from
defending their dissertation, but have at least a preliminary
research design), who will present their work at the symposium. A
dedicated mentor will be assigned to each student participant from
the board of advisors for a detailed feedback, additionally the
other symposium advisors and other attendees will also participate
in discussion and provide feedback to the presenters.
IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM
Plan submission: January 18, 2019
Notification: February 1, 2019
POSTERS TRACK
In this track the researchers will be able to publish
late-breaking results, technical descriptions, smaller research
contributions, works-in-progress and student projects in a concise
and visible format. Accepted posters will be displayed in the
conference venue, providing presenters with an opportunity to
engage in discussion with other attendees around their research.
Posters are limited to 2 pages.
IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE POSTERS TRACK
Papers submission: February 28, 2019
Notification: March 10, 2019
Camera ready and author registration for all tracks: March 15,
