Topics: software engineering
The Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC) has long been established as a premier regional conference that brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to share the state of the art and the practice of software engineering, and to explore emerging challenges and solutions in software engineering innovation. APSEC 2021 will continue in the tradition of previous editions of this regional conference. As past APSEC series, the main research track features the most recent and significant innovations in the field of software engineering and all its sub-disciplines. We invite submissions of high quality research papers that describe original and unpublished results on all topics of both theoretical and empirical software engineering research.
APSEC 2021 will offer an extensive program of interest to academia, government, and industry. It will include several distinguished keynote speakers and conference days of paper presentations and demos. A series of exciting tutorials to develop skills in various aspects of software engineering practices is of particular interest to the industry. Co-located workshops offer forums for participants to present novel techniques and methods in specific sub-disciplines of software engineering.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- General Guidelines:
- Submissions must be submitted electronically in PDF before the due date via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=apsec2021).
- All submissions must be in English, and must come in A4 paper size PDF format and conform, at time of submission, to the IEEE Conference Proceedings Formatting Guidelines (title in 24pt font and full text in 10pt font, LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran} without including the compsoc or compsocconf option). Also, papers must comply with the IEEE Policy on Authorship.
- Submitted papers must have been neither previously accepted for publication nor concurrently submitted for review in another journal, book, conference, or workshop.
- The Chairs reserve the right to reject submissions (without reviews) that are not in compliance or out of scope for the conference.
- All accepted papers will be submitted to the IEEE-CS Digital Library as the APSEC 2021 conference proceedings.
- For your paper to be published in the APSEC 2021 conference proceedings, at least one of the authors of the paper must register for the conference and confirm that she/he will present the paper at the conference (onsite or online).
- Technical Research papers:
- The APSEC 2021 technical research track invites high quality submissions of papers describing original research studies and results in the discipline of software engineering.
- Technical research papers must not be more than 10 pages. Submissions will be evaluated by at least three program committee members. The evaluation will focus on the novelty, originality, importance to the field, proper use of research methods, and presentation of the submissions.
- SEIP (Software Engineering in Practice) Papaers:
- APSEC 2021 will feature a Software Engineering in Practice (SEIP) track, in a similar fashion the ICSE SEIP (International Conference on Software Engineering, Software Engineering in Practice) track. This track will gather quality empirical studies as well as experience reports from real-world software practice. This encourages both industrial and research participants to communicate and share challenges of software engineering in practice. The papers in the SEIP track follow the general topics specified in the technical research track.
- SEIP papers must not be more than 10 pages. Submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee, and they will be evaluated on the basis of industry relevance, originality, soundness, empirical and-or practical validation, quality and consistency of presentation.
- Early Research Achievement (ERA) Papers:
- The ERA (Early Research Achievements) track invites submissions of papers that present current work-in-progress and be based on either research, practice or experience. Papers in the ERA track do not always need to report such complete results as full conference papers and so can be a good way to fast track new technical work.
- The ERA track follows the general topics specified in the technical research track.
- ERA papers must not be more than 5 pages. All paper submissions are rigorously reviewed by at least three reviewers and evaluated based on originality, technical quality, and relevance to software engineering concepts and technologies.
- Poster Papers:
- Poster papers should present work in progress and be based on either research, practice or experience. Poster papers are not required to report complete results as full conference papers, so they are a good way to fast track new technical work. Posters will be presented during a special session at APSEC 2021.
- The poster session at APSEC 2021 aims to bring like-minded people together in an interactive setting. Effectively designed posters convey the essence of an idea, an experience or a piece of research in an appealing manner. The work presented in a poster does not have to be fully developed and can be a good way to get early feedback on new ideas. A good poster will encourage conference participants to interact with others who are also attracted to the poster topic, and could be a catalyst for developing and extending topic networks.
- Poster proposals must not exceed 2 pages. Each submission will be rigorously reviewed by the poster review panel, and evaluated based on the relevance to software engineering concepts and technologies.
