ERA - Early Research AchievementsAPSEC 2024
The ERA (Early Research Achievements) track provides a forum for presenting and discussing ongoing research work at any stage, from ideas to results, to get feedback, exchange experiences, and explore available research pathways.
As such, this track focuses more on discussing new ideas than presenting complete results.
The topics of the ERA Track encompass all topics of the Technical Track and the SEIP Track (Software Engineering in Practice).

Accepted Papers
Call for Papers: Early Research Achievements Track
The ERA (Early Research Achievements) track provides a forum for presenting and discussing ongoing research work at any stage, from ideas to results, to get feedback, exchange experiences, and explore available research pathways.
As such, this track focuses more on discussing new ideas than presenting complete results.
The topics of the ERA Track encompass all topics of the Technical Track and the SEIP Track (Software Engineering in Practice).
Submissions
The APSEC 2024 ERA track invites two kinds of submissions:
Regular Papers (presented by a talk)
- A regular paper must not exceed 5 pages for the main text, including appendices, figures, tables, and references.
- Authors of accepted regular papers will be invited to give a talk about the paper at the conference.
Short Papers (presented by a poster)
- A short paper must not exceed 2 pages for the main text, including appendices, figures, tables, and references.
- Authors of accepted short papers will be invited to present a poster at the conference.
A submission longer than 2 pages will be considered a regular paper submission and will be evaluated accordingly.
Evaluation Criteria
Submissions will be evaluated by at least three program committee members. The evaluation will mainly focus on the novelty of the ideas, the importance to the fields, the soundness of research methods, and the overall quality of presentations. A submission must not have been previously published nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Submission Instructions
Papers must be submitted through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=apsec2024
All submissions must
- be written in English and must be in PDF format
- use A4 paper size
- conform to the IEEE Conference Proceedings Formatting Guidelines
- comply with the IEEE Policy on Authorship
LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt, conference]{IEEEtran}
without including the compsoc
or compsocconf
option.
Double-Blind Submission Guidelines
The APSEC 2024 ERA track will adopt a double-blind review process. Submissions should not disclose the authors’ identity to comply with the double-anonymous review process.
For more information, please check the APSEC Double Blind Policy.
Accepted Papers and Attendance Expectation
All accepted papers will be submitted to the IEEE CS Digital Library as part of the APSEC 2024 conference proceedings. The maximum page limit remains the same (5 pages for a regular paper and 2 pages for a short paper).
After acceptance,
- the list of paper authors cannot be changed under any circumstances; that means the list of authors on camera-ready papers must be identical to those on submitted papers
- paper titles cannot be changed except by permission of the Program Co-Chairs and only when referees recommend a change for clarity or accuracy with paper content.
If a submission is accepted, at least one paper author must register for APSEC 2024 and present the paper in person at the conference location (online presentation will not be allowed).
If an accepted paper is not presented, the paper will be removed from the proceedings.
