Call For Paper
ERA@SANER 2025 Call for Papers
Software Analysis, Evolution and Reengineering (SANER) is an ever-evolving field, and the community is always prolific in new disruptive ideas, and possibilities of synergies between research and practice. The Early Research Achievements (ERA) track is the right place to share initial ideas that are not fully developed in terms of solutions or empirical evaluation as well as ground-breaking results that still need full validation. By collecting feedback from the SANER attendees, the authors can develop ground-breaking work.
The ERA track is also the right place to share novel, visionary, disruptive, and thought-provoking ideas that can trigger discussion at the conference and contribute to new research roadmaps.
ERA 2025 publishes the following two types of papers and highly welcomes submissions with forward-looking and innovative ideas
-
Research Preview (max 5 pages plus one page for reference): provide a novel research idea that is not fully developed in terms of solutions or empirical evaluation or ground-breaking results that may still need full validation. A research preview should include research questions, envisioned methodology, a proof-of-concept or preliminary evaluation, a research plan, and potential risks and limitations.
-
Vision (max 5 pages plus one page for reference): provide novel visionary, disruptive, and thought-provoking ideas to trigger discussion at the conference, potentially creating a paradigm-shift in SANER and novel long-term objectives. Vision paper can also raise awareness of novel and unexplored topics that are relevant to SANER.
Review Criteria: We have different review criteria that the authors should consider when preparing their submissions, which will be taken into account by the PC members when reviewing these papers. Each paper type has its own review criteria, presented in order of relevance.
Research Preview
-
Novelty: is the proposal sufficiently novel with respect to the state-of-the-art? Do the authors discuss related work and clearly identify the gaps their contribution aims to fill?
-
Soundness of the Research Plan: do the authors present a convincing research plan? Did the authors discuss the limitations and risks of their plan? Is the plan referring to sound research methods? Do the authors clarify their research questions, planned data collection, and data analysis? Did the authors perform a convincing proof-of-concept or some preliminary research steps?
-
Potential for Discussion: will the preview presentation raise the interest of the SANER audience? Will the preview lead to a good discussion? Will the audience be able to provide useful feedback to the authors, given the typical background of the SANER audience? Can the preview raise controversial opinions in the audience?
-
Presentation: is the paper clearly presented? To what extent can the content of the paper be understood by the general SANER public?
Vision
-
Novelty: is the main idea of the vision sufficiently surprising, thought-provoking, or visionary? To what extent is the main idea exciting for a reader?
-
Ambition of the Idea: is the scope of the idea sufficiently broad to change the state of SANER or one of its sub-fields (e.g., AI & SE, LLM & SE)? To what extent does the idea create synergies with other disciplines? Do the authors sketch a convincing and visionary roadmap for research? Will other authors embrace the vision?
-
Potential for Discussion: is the idea sufficiently thought-provoking? Will the presentation of the idea raise the interest of the SANER audience? Will the idea raise discussion? Will the audience be able to provide useful feedback to the authors, given the typical background of the SANER audience? Can the idea raise controversial opinions in the audience?
-
Presentation: is the paper clearly presented? To what extent can the content of the paper be understood by the general SANER audience?
Submission Instructions
All authors who intend to submit a paper must first submit the title, abstract (max. 200 words), and author information. Abstracts are used only to point out your interest in submitting a paper and to allow the track co-chairs to match with the committee members early in time.
An abstract submission must be followed by a full paper submission.
Papers must describe original work that has not been previously published or submitted elsewhere. Papers must have between 4 and 5 pages, with an additional page for references. Submissions must be written in English and formatted according to the IEEE formatting instructions. Submissions must be double-blinded in conformance with the instructions described in the research track. Submissions that do not respect these constraints will be rejected without review.
Accepted papers may require editing for clarity prior to publication and presentation. They will appear in the IEEE Digital Library.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register to and attend the conference in order to present their paper.
For further information and Word/Latex templates, please check the main call for papers.
To submit your paper, please use the same submission link. After clicking on “Make a New Submission,” you will be presented with a list of all available tracks. Be sure to select the correct track (e.g., Short Papers and Posters Track), as illustrated in the attached screenshot.
