Industry PapersEASE 2027

Industrial experience reports and industry perspectives provide an opportunity to share practical experiences and viewpoints through a paper and presentation at EASE 2027. An experience report is a reflection of the authors’ own industry experiences, presenting challenges faced, approaches applied to address these challenges, and insights into what could be done differently and what challenges remain. A perspective is an opinion piece on a relevant, current, and possibly controversial topic, based on the authors’ collective experiences.

We invite you to submit a paper in which you briefly explain your own, unpublished experience or perspective related to evaluation and assessment in software engineering. We encourage submissions describing joint experiences and perspectives developed in collaboration with academia or research organizations.

Submission Details

Please submit your papers via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ease2027.

• Long papers (8 pages + 2 pages for references): Ideal for practice-oriented research papers or case studies.

• Short papers (4 pages + 1 page for references): Ideal for shorter contributions, tech transfer stories, experience reports, or visionary ideas.

Submitted papers must be written in English, contain original unpublished work, and conform to the ACM Proceedings Format (download the template from the link). Industry Track will employ a single-anonymous review process. Author names and affiliations must be included in submissions.

Papers submitted for consideration must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the review process. The conference enforces the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism.

After the notification deadline, authors of accepted papers will be asked to complete a copyright form and will receive further instructions for preparing their camera-ready versions. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register and present the results at EASE 2027. All accepted contributions will be published in the conference electronic proceedings and appear in the ACM digital library.

If accepted, your paper will be published as open access, in line with ACM’s new publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Please note that this requires payment of an ACM Article Processing Charge (APC) for inclusion in the EASE 2027 Proceedings.

New this Year: Concerning AI-generated content, authors should adopt the ACM Policy: https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/new-acm-policy-on-authorship

Review Criteria

All submissions will be reviewed by at least three program committee members of the EASE Industry track. Submissions will be evaluated according to several criteria, in addition to the clarity of the paper:

• Originality: How the paper advances the current state of practice in its respective industrial context.

• Relevance to Industrial Application Context: The paper’s relevance to the industry must be clearly described.

• Significance of Contributions: Explanation of how significant the work is compared to existing related works and similar industrial contexts.

• Generalizability and Scalability: Consideration of generalizability and scalability concerns, discussing how the results apply beyond the specific industrial context of the paper.

• Presentation: The extent to which the paper’s quality of writing meets the high standards of EASE, including clear descriptions, adequate use of the English language, absence of significant ambiguity, clearly readable figures and tables, and adherence to the formatting instructions provided above.
