Abstract

The ACM / IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement (ESEM) is the premier conference for research results related to empirical software engineering&#046; These include discussions of: i) strengths and weaknesses of software engineering technologies and methods from an empirical viewpoint; ii) the design and analysis of empirical studies, ranging from controlled experiments to case studies and from quantitative to qualitative studies; and iii) the use of data and measurement to understand, evaluate, and model software engineering phenomena&#046; The symposium encourages the presentation of both novel work and replication studies&#046;<br>Papers are rigorously reviewed by leading international experts and the full paper acceptance rate is competitive&#046;<br>ESEM provides a stimulating forum where researchers and practitioners can present and discuss recent research results on a wide range of topics, in addition to also exchanging ideas, experiences and challenging problems&#046;<br>The relevant topics include, but are not restricted to, the following:<br>New ideas pertaining to measurement, evaluation, comparison and development of empirical software methods<br>Qualitative methods<br>Infrastructures and novel techniques for conducting empirical studies<br>Families of experiments<br>Replication of empirical studies<br>Cross&#8211; and multi&#8211;disciplinary methods and studies<br>Systematic literature reviews<br>Aggregation, synthesis and meta&#8211;analysis of studies<br>Empirical studies of software processes and products<br>Industrial experience, case studies and action&#8211;research<br>Evaluation and comparison of techniques and models<br>Reports on the benefits / costs associated with using certain technologies<br>Empirically&#8211;based decision making<br>Development and evaluation of empirical prediction systems or software estimation models<br>Data mining and empirical methods<br>Quality measurement and assurance<br>Simulation&#8211;based studies in software engineering<br>Software project experience and knowledge management<br>Software technology transfer to the industry<br>Measurement and process improvement programs<br>
