MSR 2022
Mon 23 - Tue 24 May 2022
co-located with ICSE 2022

Welcome to the website of the Mining Software Repositories 2022 conference!

The Mining Software Repositories (MSR) conference is the premier conference for data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in software engineering. The goal of the conference is to improve software engineering practices by uncovering interesting and actionable information about software systems and projects using the vast amounts of software data such as source control systems, defect tracking systems, code review repositories, archived communications between project personnel, question-and-answer sites, CI build servers, and run-time telemetry. Mining this information can help to understand software development and evolution, software users, and runtime behavior; support the maintenance of software systems; improve software design/reuse; empirically validate novel ideas and techniques; support predictions about software development; and exploit this knowledge in planning future development.

Hybrid MSR 2022

All accepted paper presentations, keynote, tutorials, and invited talks will happen during the virtual MSR 2022 (May 18-20). During the in-person MSR 2022 (May 23-24), we will have a keynote talk, an MIP award talk, blended technical sessions (featuring longer presentations of accepted papers whose authors attend the in-person event), a poster + networking session, discussion/brainstorming sessions, and a banquet. The in-person program is created collaboratively based on inputs received through a survey that was conducted with 70+ registrants of the in-person event (with a ~70% response rate).
