Call For Papers
3rd International ACM-IEEE Symposium on
Empirical Software Engineering
ISESE 2004
19-20 August 2004
Redondo Beach CA, USA
http://www.isese.org/
****************************************
The objective of the International Symposium on Empirical Software
Engineering (ISESE) is to provide a forum where researchers and
practitioners can report on and discuss new research results in the area of
empirical software engineering.
The symposium encourages the exchange of ideas to understand, from an
empirical viewpoint, the strengths and weaknesses of software engineering
technologies. The symposium focuses on the processes, design and structure
of empirical studies as well as the results of specific studies. These
studies may vary from controlled experiments to field studies, from
quantitative to qualitative studies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Empirical studies of software processes and products
- Evaluation and comparison of techniques and models (cost estimation,
analysis and design methods, testing)
- Reports on benefits derived from using certain technologies
- Development of predictive models
- Experiences with research methods: measurement theory, experimental
design, qualitative modeling, analysis approaches, grounded theory, protocol
studies, families of experiments
- Experience management

PAPER SUBMISSION
****************
Submissions may be full papers, fast abstracts or posters. Full papers are
due January 5, 2004 and will be published in the conference proceedings.
Selected papers will be published in "Empirical Software Engineering: An
International Journal" (http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/1382-3256).
- Paper Submission Due: January 5, 2004. Submission will be a postscript or
PDF file submitted via this website
- Acceptance Decisions By: March 15, 2004
- Final Camera-ready Copy Due: May 1, 2004
Papers describing unpublished, original work are solicited on any software
engineering topic as long as there is an empirical component to the work
being presented. Such contribution can take the form of a case/field study,
controlled experiment, survey, meta-analysis of previous studies, or
critical review of previous empirical work (e.g., form a methodological
standpoint). Papers should be written in English, double-spaced, and be no
longer than 20 pages, using at least an 11 point font. Authors are requested
to submit an electronic version of their paper (postscript or PDF format
only). The paper should have a cover page, which includes a 200-word
abstract, a list of keywords, and the author's telephone number and e-mail
address. Accepted papers, in the final form, will have to fit within 10
pages, IEEE double column format (please follow IEEE CS Press Proceedings
Author Guidelines at http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm).
FAST ABSTRACTS
New to ISESE this year is the "Fast Abstract." A fast abstract describes an
ongoing research work, not mature enough to be presented as a regular paper,
but useful to start a discussion about new research ideas. Fast abstracts
have a maximum length of two pages and accepted summaries will be given
approximately 8-10 minutes to present their ideas. Submissions must be in
conference format, and accepted summaries will be printed in a companion
volume as is; no changes permitted.
- Fast Abstract Submissions Due: May 1, 2004. Submission will be a
postscript or PDF file to this website.
- Acceptance Decisions By: June 1, 2004. No changes can be made to a fast
abstract submission. What you submit is what will be printed.
POSTERS
Posters may also be submitted. Space will be made available for displaying
your research ideas, and time will be made available for all conference
attendees to speak with you about your work. Information on submitting
posters will be posted at http://www.isese.org/.
- Poster Submission Due: May 15, 2004. Submission will be a postscript or
PDF file to this website.
- Acceptance Decisions By: June 15, 2004.
