Tutorials address a wide range of mature topics from theoretical foundations to practical techniques and tools for automated software engineering. The general chair and organizers will decide the exact dates after all proposals have been reviewed and accepted. Tutorials are intended to provide scientific background on themes relevant to ASE's research audience.

Instructors are invited to submit proposals for half-day and full-day tutorials and, upon selection, are required to provide tutorial notes on the topic of presentation in PDF. Tutorial proposals are limited to 5 pages (using any format, e.g., ACM or IEEE) and should be submitted in PDF over EasyChair.

Submission

Proposal submissions should include the following information:

• Name and affiliation of the proposer/organizer (including e-mail address)
• Name and affiliation of each additional instructor
• Instructors' experience in the area, including other tutorials, courses, etc.
• Title, objective, abstract, and duration
• Outline with approximate timings
• Target audience, including the indication of level (novice, intermediate, expert)
• Assumed background of attendees
• Brief biography of each instructor (for later inclusion in publicity materials)
• History of the tutorial (if it has been already presented; provide location, approximate attendance, etc.)
• Audio-visual and technical requirements
• Preferences for tutorial date, duration (half-day or full-day), and any other scheduling constraints, with justification for full day (if a full day is proposed)

Proposals are due by April 30, 2018 and should be submitted over EasyChair.

Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the ASE 2018 tutorial co-chairs Yamine Aït Ameur and David Delahaye. Acceptance will be based on the timeliness and expected interest in the topic and the potential for attracting a sufficient number of participants.
