*****************************************************************************
CIbSE is the leading research forum on Software Engineering (SE)
in Ibero-America. The primary objective of this conference is to
promote high-quality scientific research in Ibero-American
countries and, thus, support the researchers in this community in
publishing and discussing their work. Also, the conference fosters
collaboration and cross-fertilization among academics, students,
and practitioners from industry.
CIbSE 2022 will be held in Cordoba, Argentina. In this edition of
the conference, the three traditional tracks (Software
Engineering, Requirements Engineering, and Empirical Software
Engineering) are going to be merged into a single main track.
CIbSE 2022 will include keynotes from influential researchers of
the Software Engineering community and will be held in conjunction
with three satellite events: a Doctoral Symposium, the 5th edition
of the Advanced Ibero-American School on Software Engineering
(EIbAIS), and Industry Talks. The Doctoral Symposium is organized
to discuss work in progress of PhD theses related to the general
area of Software Engineering. EIbAIS combines lectures and
tutorials on the current trends in Software Engineering by
renowned speakers. The Industry Talks aim at approximating
academics and practitioners from the local community to discuss
state-of-the-practice Software Engineering topics.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Application of artificial intelligence to software engineering
- Continuous software engineering practices (e.g., agile
development and DevOps)
- Empirical software engineering
- Formal methods applied to software engineering
- Human and social aspects of software engineering
- Mining software repositories and software analytics
- Model-driven software engineering
- Requirements engineering
- Search-based software engineering
- Software architecture
- Software dependability
- Software economics
- Software ecosystems and systems-of-systems
- Software engineering education and training
- Software engineering for emerging application domains (e.g.,
artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, cloud computing,
cyber-physical systems, IoT, and quantum computing)
- Software engineering in industry
- Software maintenance and evolution
- Software metrics and measurement
- Software process
- Software product lines
- Software quality and quality models
- Software reuse
- Software testing
-Technical debt management
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We invite authors to submit high-quality research papers
describing significant, original, and not previously published
results on Software Engineering, in any of the official CIbSE
languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The following paper
categories are welcome.
** Technical papers ** (not exceeding 15 pages): papers
describing innovative research in the topics of the conference.
Papers in this submission category should describe a novel
contribution to the topics and should carefully support claims of
novelty with citations to the relevant literature.
Technical papers will be evaluated by originality, soundness,
relevance, importance of contribution, strength of validation,
quality of presentation, and appropriate comparison to related
work. In case a submission builds upon the previous work of the
author(s), the novelty of the new contribution must be described
clearly concerning the previous work. Technical papers need to
discuss openly how the results were validated.
** Emerging Ideas papers ** (not exceeding 8 pages): papers
describing new, non-conventional approaches that depart from
standard practice, on the topics of the conference. They are
intended to describe clear research ideas that are at an early
stage of the investigation.
Emerging ideas papers will be assessed primarily on their level of
originality and potential for impact on the field regarding
promoting innovative thinking. Hence, inadequacies in the
state-of-the-art and the pertinence, correctness, and impact of
the idea must be described precisely. While the idea that is
described does not need to be fully validated, a presentation of
preliminary results that provide initial insights into the
feasibility and the impact of the idea is expected.
Any paper that is not in the scope of the conference, does not
follow the formatting guidelines, or was submitted or published in
any other forum (conference or journal) will be desk-rejected
without review. All other submissions will be peer-reviewed by at
least three members of the Program Committee. The best paper will
receive an award certificate.
SUBMISSION
All papers must be submitted through EasyChair
(
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibse2022), using PDF
format only. Submissions must be formatted according to the style
of the Brazilian Computing Society for conference papers
(
https://www.sbc.org.br/documentos-da-sbc/summary/169-templates-para-artigos-e-capitulos-de-livros/878-modelosparapublicaodeartigos).
The accepted papers will be included in the proceedings made
available online by the Digital Open Library of the Brazilian
Computing Society - SOL (
https://sol.sbc.org.br/index.php/anais)
and Curran Associates (
http://www.proceedings.com/), and later
indexed by DBLP and Scopus.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register by the
camera-ready deadline. One registration corresponds to only one
paper. Some author of each accepted paper must present it in
person or the paper will be excluded from the proceedings. If an
author has more than one accepted paper, it is possible to pay the
50% of the registration in the second and following co-authored
papers.
JOURNAL FIRST
Authors of papers on the topics of interest of the conference and
accepted in Q1 or Q2 JCR journals are invited to present their
research work at CIbSE. This offers an opportunity for the authors
to discuss their work with the community as well as to enrich the
technical program of CIbSE. Presentations of journal-first papers
will be included into CIbSE 2022 main track.
The main evaluation criterion to select journal-first papers is
the description of original results that are not extensions of
previous conference papers. In addition, the paper must have been
accepted for publication in the journal no earlier than January
1st, 2021 and must have not been presented at any other conference
as a journal-first contribution.
At least one author per selected journal first paper must register
and attend the conference to present it.
Authors interested in presenting journal first papers at CIbSE
2022 must submit their proposals in PDF format through EasyChair
(
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibse2022). The
following information must be provided: (i) paper title; (ii) list
of authors; (iii) keywords; (iv) journal and information about its
impact factor and its rank; (v) DOI; (vi) abstract, and; (vi) a
short statement on how the work satisfies the criteria above.
DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM
The Doctoral Symposium aims at disseminating research-in-progress
conducted by novice researchers. A board of experts will discuss
with the researchers to suggest new perspectives and improvements
to the PhD theses.
The submitted research can address any of CIbSE 2022 research
topics. We recommend, although it is not compulsory, that the
research is at an intermediate stage (~ 2nd year) so that experts’
suggestions could be included in the PhD work.
The suggested paper structure is as follows:
- Introduction to the field of research and identification of the
main challenges therein
- Explicit formulation of the research questions and objectives
justifying why they were chosen
- Outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain as well
as the state of existing solutions
- Sketch of the research methodology that is being applied
- Introduction of the proposed solution and the results achieved
so far
- The statement in what aspects the suggested solution is
different or better as compared to existing approaches
- An indication of the outstanding issues and description of the
next steps that are planned
- Provision of a list of references
Doctoral Symposium papers shall be authored by the doctoral
candidate exclusively (thus, the name of the supervisor should not
be included). All papers must be submitted in PDF format through
EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibse2022).
Submissions must be written in English, Portuguese, or Spanish.
Moreover, the papers must not exceed eight pages and must be
formatted according to the style of the Brazilian Computing
Society for conference papers
(
https://www.sbc.org.br/documentos-da-sbc/summary/169-templates-para-artigos-e-capitulos-de-livros/878-modelosparapublicaodeartigos).
Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of the
conference. The authors of accepted papers must register by the
camera-ready deadline.
