Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers describing original and unpublished results (up to 5 pages).
- Short papers discussing new ideas, insights, and preliminary results (up to 2 pages).
All submissions must be in PDF format and conform, at time of submission, to the ACM Proceedings Template at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template (LaTEX users must use \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart}). The review option adds line numbers, thereby allowing referees to refer to specific lines in their comments.
All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity by at least three program committee members. All workshop papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through the EasyChair workshop website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aesir2021).
All accepted papers will be published by IEEE CPS and included in the IEEE Xplore library. After the workshop, the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper in a special issue on Code Readability on the Empirical Software Engineering journal (EMSE).
For the double-blind review process, submissions must not reveal the authors' identities. In particular, the authors' names and affiliations must be omitted in the title page and hearders of the paper, and references to their prior work should be in the third person. If you want to make available any artifact in time for submission, please make it anonymous. There are existing tools for doing that easily, for instance, Anonymous GitHub, which is an open source tool that helps you to quickly double-blind GitHub repositories. AeSIR encourages authors to make artifacts publicly available, and if the authors want to do so but do not want to take the risk to break the double-blind review process, they are invited to add the artifacts' links in the camera-ready versions in case of paper acceptance.
