The International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE) is one of the premier conferences for research related to empirical software engineering. EASE is an internationally leading venue for academics and practitioners to present and discuss their research on evidence-based software engineering, and its implications for software practice. EASE is ranked as A conference in CORE. The 28th edition of EASE will take place from 18 to 21 June 2024 in Salerno, Italy.

EASE 2024 welcomes high-quality submissions, describing original and unpublished research for the following tracks: full research papers, vision & emerging results, short papers & posters, industry, and a doctoral symposium. There will also be co-located events, including workshops and tutorials, and a track planned for journal-first presentations.


The EASE research track welcomes papers addressing topics related to evaluating and assessing software products, processes, practices, tools & techniques including:

- Meta-science (e.g., papers about research methods and methodological issues, whether empirical or conceptual)
-- Infrastructure and techniques for conducting empirical studies on SE.
-- Theory development, operationalization, testing and application.

- Applications of evaluation and assessment in specific contexts, such as
-- Software Requirements
-- Software Architecture
-- Software Design
-- Software Construction
-- Software Testing
-- Software Engineering Operations
-- Software Maintenance
-- Software Configuration Management
-- Software Engineering Management
-- Software Engineering Models and Methods
-- Software Engineering Process
-- Software Quality
-- Software Security
-- Software Engineering Economics
-- Software Engineering Professional Practice
-- Computing Foundations
-- Human factors and behavioral aspects of SE

- Inter- or multi-disciplinary studies intersecting software engineering

- Evaluation and comparison of technologies and approaches (e.g., IoT, Context–Awareness, Cyber-physical)


Similarly, EASE welcomes papers employing any of the following empirical methods in SE:
- Action Research
- Benchmarking
- Case Study
- Case Survey
- Data Science
- Engineering Research (aka design as research, design science)
- Experiment with human participants
- Grounded Theory
- Longitudinal Study
- Meta-science
- Mixed Methods (also select methods that were mixed)
- Optimization Studies
- Qualitative Survey (i.e., interview study)
- Quantitative Simulation
- Questionnaire Survey (quantitative)
- Repository Mining
- Systematic Literature Review
- Mixed methods and multi-methodology
- Replication studies


EASE also welcomes studies with negative findings or non-significant results.
