Call For Papers - CFP

10-12 September, 2011 - Szeged, Hungary

Co-located with ESEC/FSE 2011

We are pleased to announce SSBSE 2011, the third edition of the annual

symposium dedicated to Search Based Software Engineering (SBSE). 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. SSBSE 2011 is

co-located with ESEC/FSE in Szeged, Hungary, see

http://2011.esec-fse.org.

CALL FOR PAPERS

We invite the submission of high quality papers describing original

and significant work in all areas of Search Based Software

Engineering, including theoretical work, research on SBSE

applications, empirical studies, and reports on industrial experience.

Applications may be drawn from throughout the software engineering

lifecycle. Search methods may include, but are not limited to,

operations research techniques and optimisation methods inspired by

nature, such as evolutionary algorithms and simulated annealing. We

particularly encourage papers that describe software engineering

applications to which SBSE has not previously been applied.

FORMAT AND SUBMISSION

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) and should

not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and

appendices. If the paper is accepted, at least one author is expected

to attend the symposium and to present the paper. Further information

on paper formatting and submission is available from the symposium

website, http://www.ssbse.org.

GRADUATE STUDENT TRACK

We also invite papers for a special Graduate Student track that will

provide a venue for students to showcase their SBSE research and to

receive feedback from senior members of the SBSE community. Papers

submitted to this track should be no more than 6 pages in length using

the regular symposium format. To be eligible, a student must be

registered on a doctoral or masters programme and must not yet have

completed their studies. It is the expectation that the student will

give the presentation at the symposium, though there may be other

authors on the paper.

FAST ABSTRACTS

Fast abstracts feature novel ideas that are not yet fully developed or

validated. Fast abstract have a later deadline than technical papers,

and are subject to a lighter reviewing process. Fast abstracts should

comprise no more than 6 pages using the regular symposium format.

Accepted fast abstracts will be presented at the symposium and

published on the symposium website.

SPECIAL ISSUE

The authors of selected symposium papers that include significant

experimental work will be invited to submit extended versions of their

papers for a special issue of Empirical Software Engineering,

PRIZES

There will be a prize of EUR 1000 for the best paper at SSBSE 2011, as

decided by the program committee. The best paper prize is provided

courtesy of SSBSE sponsors Berner & Mattner, IBM, Sulake, Softeam and

the FITTEST project.
