We are pleased to announce SSBSE 2018, the 10th edition of the annual symposium dedicated to Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE), to be held in Montpellier, France.
SBSE is the application of meta-heuristic optimization techniques to various software engineering problems, ranging from requirements engineering to software testing and maintenance.
The symposium builds on the flourishing interest in SBSE and provides a welcoming forum for discussion and dissemination that will strengthen the rapidly-growing international SBSE community.
Research Paper Track
We invite the submission of high quality papers describing novel and original work in all areas of SBSE including, but not limited to, applications of SBSE to novel problems, theoretical analyses of search algorithms for software engineering, rigorous empirical evaluations of SBSE techniques, and reports of industrial experiences.
SSBSE welcomes not only applications of search-based techniques from throughout the software engineering lifecycle. We also invite the application of a broad range of search methods – ranging from exact operational research techniques to nature-inspired algorithms, local search metaheuristics, and simulated annealing.
We particularly encourage papers that report on software engineering applications to which SBSE has not been applied before.
Format and Submission Guidelines
Research papers must have up to 15 pages in length, including all text, figures, references and appendices.
Papers must not have been previously published, or be in consideration for, any journal, book, or other conference. Papers will be evaluated by members of the program committee based on their originality, technical soundness and presentation quality. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/lncs).
The SSBSE Research Paper Track performs double-blind review of all submissions (i.e., authors will not be identified to reviewers and reviewers will not be identified to authors).
If a paper is accepted, at least one author is expected to attend the symposium and to present the paper.
