- CALL FOR PAPERS
-
- ACM SIGSOFT '93: Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering
-
- Sponsored by ACM SIGSOFT
-
- Los Angeles, California USA
- 7-10 December 1993
-
- The ACM SIGSOFT '93 Symposium on the Foundations of Software
- Engineering will focus on innovative research results that identify
- and contribute to the foundations of software engineering. The intent
- is to help establish software engineering as a viable engineering
- discipline.
-
- We solicit papers in all technical areas of software engineering. A
- successful paper is expected to report on new principles, methods, or
- results of experimentation in software engineering (which includes
- topics related to the specification, design, implementation, and
- evaluation of software systems). Papers should emphasize how they
- contribute to a foundation that allows us to effectively engineer
- classes of complex software systems in disciplined, reasoned ways.
- Unless a strong tie to software engineering is made, papers more
- central to other aspects of computer science should be submitted to
- conferences in those areas.
-
- A paper should clearly state the contribution and its underlying
- assumptions. It should also assess the results, making appropriate
- comparisons with and references to the literature. Papers will be
- judged on clarity, significance, relevance, correctness, and
- originality. The paper must contain ideas not previously presented in
- or currently awaiting acceptance to another formal forum.
-
- All papers will be reviewed by program committee members. In some
- cases, additional external advice may be solicited by the program
- committee. Papers of particular merit may be recommended to major
- software engineering journals for expedited review.
-
- Submissions are limited to 6000 words, including reasonable estimates
- of the size of figures but excluding references. Overly long
- submissions will be returned without review. Fourteen copies,
- preferably double-sided, must be sent to the program chair by April 9,
- 1993. Authors will be notified by July 5, 1993. Camera-ready
- versions of accepted papers are due, along with ACM copyright release
- forms, by August 27, 1993. Proceedings will be distributed at the
- symposium and as a special issue of ACM Software Engineering Notes.
-
- Tutorials will be held on December 7, 1993.
