CSEE&T 2020: 32nd International Conference on Software Engineering Education & Training Science Congress Center Munich Munich, Germany, November 9-12, 2020

CSEE&T 2020 seeks original research papers on novel ideas, methods and techniques for software engineering education as well as education experience & industrial training reports. Contributions may concern all fields of software engineering education, among others, university education at graduate and undergraduate level, industrial training, as well as teaching software engineering at various kinds of secondary schools. We invite submissions on any aspects of software engineering education and training. The special theme of CSEE&T 2020 is “Educating for the Future”. Therefore, we particularly encourage submissions dealing with the use of new methods and technologies to improve software engineering education and training, and we seek contributions related to the challenges and issues when teaching these new achievements to learners.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• Research Papers (Details: https://ase.in.tum.de/cseet2020/index.php/call-for-papers/), including
  • Full papers (max. 10 pages), describing original  research in relevant areas of software engineering education and training. Papers presenting actual research results, or in-depth analysis of experience with delivering courses or industrial training, or describing theoretical or empirical research (e.g., in academia, industry, or government), new techniques and tools, novel interpretation and in-depth case studies, are all welcome. Research papers will be evaluated based on originality, technical quality and relevance to the field of software engineering education. They should clearly relate the work described to the relevant literature and provide an adequate evaluation. 
  • Short Papers (max. 5 pages), addressing software engineering education and training topics are also invited. They are intended particularly for reports of less substantial work, or of work that is still in progress (such as experience with a particular educational tool or support environment), or they may discuss a promising idea at an early stage, or an idea that may lack complete evaluation. Even so, it is important that short papers relate the work described to the relevant literature and attempt to evaluate it as far as possible. Conclusions should focus on aspects interesting for others working in related areas.
  • Challenges and Problems Papers (max. 5 pages) emphasizing serious problems and challenges to be tackled in future software engineering education research. It is expected that these challenges and problems have been discovered and are reported with scientific rigor. Particularly, empirically validated research is welcome. While these papers focus on the problem side it is not expected that solutions are already in existence. Even so, it is important that problems and challenges papers relate the work described to the relevant literature and attempt to evaluate it as far as possible. Conclusions should focus on aspects interesting for others working in related areas.
• Industrial Experience Reports (max. 6 pages), discussing experience with delivering software engineering trainings are particularly invited. It is recognized that many of those engaged in industrial training may not be accustomed to writing conventional academic papers about their experiences, but may still have valuable lessons to pass on. This category of submission is intended specifically for such authors, and while they are encouraged to identify points where their work links to established literature or practice, they are not required to include formal literature reviews in these reports. Nevertheless, authors should provide a fair evaluation of the experience obtained when using the proposed approach. Details: https://ase.in.tum.de/cseet2020/index.php/call-for-industrial-experience-reports/
• Journal First Articles (max. 1 page) that present research on software engineering education, which has recently been published in high-quality journals. Submissions must clearly give reference to the original publication and state how the topic is related to software engineering education and what the main contribution to be presented is. The original work must be included in the submission as supplement for reviewing purposes. Only the one page summary will be published in the conference proceedings. Details: https://ase.in.tum.de/cseet2020/index.php/call-for-journal-first-articles/
• Poster Submissions (max. 2 pages), which are submissions of extended abstracts for posters related to the conference topics of software engineering education and training. Posters may present late-breaking research results, on-going or future research projects, training experience, or innovative work in progress. Details: https://ase.in.tum.de/cseet2020/index.php/call-for-poster-and-tool-submissions/
• Tool Papers (max. 2 pages), i.e. high-quality submissions of extended abstracts for the demonstration of tools related to the conference topics of software engineering education and training. Tool demonstrations provide the opportunity to show any innovative tools or
  research prototypes. Details: https://ase.in.tum.de/cseet2020/index.php/call-for-poster-and-tool-submissions/
• Workshop Proposals (max. 3 pages), intended as open half-day or full-day workshops. The workshops enable groups of common interest to exchange experiences and viewpoints in a focused manner. Workshop organizers should have a strategy for attracting attendance (and stimulate for submissions) based on objective criteria, for example, through a short refereed position paper. Other approaches are permitted as long as they are clearly specified in the workshop’s call for participation. Workshop organizers are responsible for authoring a call for participation and for advertising their workshops in appropriate places to attract attendees. Details: https://ase.in.tum.de/cseet2020/index.php/call-for-workshops/
• Tutorial Session Proposals (max. 3 pages) for practice & methods presentations, and for other types of tutorials. These should have practical appeal to the software engineering education and training community, and should enable participants to learn more about a topic relevant to one of the conference themes. It is expected that practice & methods presentations should occur within 30 to 90 minute time slots, and that tutorials will be within a 60 to 180 minute time slot. Such a proposal should be submitted as a paper, and should detail the topic and objectives for the session, indicating how it is expected to meet the needs of the conference audience. Details: https://ase.in.tum.de/cseet2020/index.php/call-for-workshops/
• Panel Proposals (max. 5 pages), which allow the audience to interact with panel members to provide an engaging, informative and entertaining discussion of a timely topic from multiple perspectives. A panel proposal should introduce the moderator, list potential positions, and detail the topic and objectives for the session, indicating how it is expected to meet the needs of the conference audience. It should also include brief biographies and position statements from each of the proposed panelists, and a brief biography of the proposed moderator. Details: https://ase.in.tum.de/cseet2020/index.php/call-for-panel-proposals/

Format and Submission

All research papers, industrial experience reports, journal first contributions, or poster & tool papers must be submitted through Easychair:

Double-Blind Review Process for Research Track Papers

CSEE&T 2020 will employ a full double-blind review process for research track papers. The papers submitted must not reveal the authors’ identities. Identities will only be revealed to the reviewers when final decisions have been made. The Organizers reserve the right to desk-reject without review any submission that does not adhere to the instructions outlined below.
