Doctoral SymposiumEASE 2022

Accepted Papers

Call for papers

The goal of the symposium is to provide a helpful and stimulating forum for Ph.D. students to present and discuss their research proposals and the early results of their research.

Experienced members of the empirical software engineering community will serve as symposium advisers to provide constructive and detailed feedback on the submitted papers. Depending on the number (and the topics) of submissions, we would like to involve the student participants in the peer-review process of the submissions in their areas of interest to foster their reviewing skills and expand their peer networks. Participants must be current doctoral students, preferably at a mid-point in their dissertation work (though other doctoral students are also welcome). The submitted research proposal should be single-authored, limited to 6 pages, include the advisor’s name, student’s email address, and address the below headings:

• Title and abstract (up to 250 words)
• Motivation, rationale, and contributions of the dissertation research
• Key Research Questions/Challenges questions to be addressed
• Work Plan explaining how the challenges would be addressed:
  • Research approach, empirical study design and arrangements
  • Definition of most important metrics (e.g. following the GQM approach)
  • Data analysis methods and techniques
  • Validity threats and their control
  • Summary of the current status of the research (including a very brief outline of the early results) and planned next steps
• Relevant prior work

Important dates:

• Papers submission: April 14th, 2022
• Notification: May 2nd, 2022
• Camera-ready: May 9th, 2022

Depending on the reviews, the submissions will be accepted either as short papers published in the conference proceedings or as posters to be presented during the conference.

Please submit your papers using: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ease2022 (the same formatting rules apply as for the main conference proceedings).
