The IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering (ASE) Conference series is the premier
research forum for automated software engineering. Each year, it brings together researchers
and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss foundations, techniques, and tools for
automating the analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of large software
systems. ASE 2016 invites high quality contributions describing significant, original, and
unpublished results. Solicited topics include, but are not limited to:

Three categories of submissions are solicited:
1. Technical Research Papers should describe innovative research in automating software
development activities or automated support to users engaged in such activities. They should
describe a novel contribution to the field and should carefully support claims of novelty with
citations to the relevant literature. Where a submission builds upon previous work of the author(s),
the novelty of the new contribution must be clearly described with respect to the previous work.
Papers should also clearly discuss how the results were validated.
2. Experience Papers should describe a significant experience in applying automated software
engineering technology and should carefully identify and discuss important lessons learned, so
that other researchers and/or practitioners can benefit from the experience. Of special interest
are experience papers that report on industrial applications of automated software engineering.
3. New Ideas Papers should describe novel research directions in automating software
development activities or automated support to users engaged in such activities. New ideas
submissions are intended to describe well-defined research ideas that are at an early stage of
investigation and may not be fully validated.
Submission: Papers must be submitted electronically through the ASE 2016 submission site,
which will be announced in the near future. All submissions must come in PDF format and
conform, at time of submission, to the ACM Formatting Guidelines (LaTeX users, use the style
Option 2). Technical Research Papers and Experience Papers must not exceed 10 pages
(including figures and appendices) plus up to 2 pages that contain ONLY references. New Ideas
Papers must not exceed 6 pages (including figures, appendices AND references). Submissions
that do not adhere to these limits or that violate the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected
without review. All submissions must be in English.
