Welcome to the website of the Symposium on Search-Based Software Engineering 2024. SSBSE 2024 will take place on July 15th in Porto de Galinhas, Brazil, co-located with ESEC/FSE 2024. The symposium will be comprised of four tracks:

• Main research
• Replications and Negative Results (RENE) / New Ideas and Emerging Results (NIER)
• SBSE Challenge
• Hot off the Press (HOP)

About SSBSE

Search-based Software Engineering (SBSE) is a research area focused on the formulation of software engineering problems as search problems, and the subsequent use of complex heuristic techniques to attain optimal solutions to such problems. A wealth of engineering challenges – from test generation, to design refactoring, to process organization – can be solved efficiently through the application of automated optimization techniques. SBSE is a growing field – sitting at the crossroads between AI, machine learning, and software engineering – and SBSE techniques have begun to attain human-competitive results.

The Symposium on Search-Based Software Engineering is a venue dedicated to the SBSE research field. 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.
