Call For Papers

CIbSE is the leading research forum on Software Engineering (SE) in Ibero-America. The main objective of this conference is to promote high-quality scientific research in Ibero-American countries, thus supporting the researchers in this community in publishing and discussing their work. In addition, the conference fosters collaboration and cross-fertilization among software academics, students, and industry.

CibSE 2018 will be held at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, one of the most vibrant cities in South America and beating heart of Colombia. The event will include various tracks, industry exhibition, keynote speeches by influential researchers of the SE community, and social events.

The conference will be held in conjunction with two satellite events: the Doctoral Symposium and the first version of the Ibero-American School on Software Engineering. The Doctoral Symposium is organized to discuss work in progress in Software Engineering during the PhD program. The school will be led by renowned lecturers, offering an attractive program, combining lectures and tutorials based on the current trends of Software Engineering.

We invite you to submit papers to one or more of our Foundations tracks:
SET - Software Engineering Track
WER - Requirements Engineering Track
ESELAW - Experimental Software Engineering Track

Papers can be submitted in any of the three available categories (i.e., Technical, (NEW!) Emerging ideas, and (NEW!) Tools) and the CIbSE official languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Below, you will find the details of each track and the general organization committee.

For more information go to CibSE 2018 website (http://cibseconference.org), or contact us through e-mail (info.cibse@gmail.com) or any of our social media outlets (Twitter and Facebook).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOUNDATIONS TRACKS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We invite authors to submit high quality research papers describing significant, original, and unpublished results in any of the following tracks and categories:

Tracks
SET - Software Engineering Track
WER - Requirements Engineering Track
ESELAW - Experimental Software Engineering Track

Categories

Technical Papers (not exceeding 14 pages): Technical papers should describe innovative research in the topics of the Foundations tracks. Papers in this submission category should describe a novel contribution to the topics and should carefully support claims of novelty with citations to the relevant literature.

Evaluation criteria: Technical papers are evaluated on the basis of originality, soundness, relevance, importance of contribution, strength of validation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. Where a submission builds upon previous work of the author(s), the novelty of the new contribution must be described clearly with respect to the previous work. Technical papers need to discuss clearly how the results were validated.
(NEW!) Emerging Ideas Papers (not exceeding 8 pages): Emerging ideas papers describe new, non-conventional approaches on the topics of the Foundations tracks, that depart from standard practice. They are intended to describe well-defined research ideas that are at an early stage of investigation.

Evaluation criteria: Emerging ideas papers will be assessed primarily on their level of originality and potential for impact on the field in terms of promoting innovative thinking. Hence, inadequacies in the state-of-the-art and the pertinence, correctness, and impact of the idea must be described clearly. While the idea that is described does not need to be fully validated, a presentation of preliminary results that provide initial insights into the feasibility and/or impact of the idea is expected. In case of paper acceptance, authors have to prepare a poster from the paper and present it in the Poster Session. The Poster Session separates itself from the Technical Papers’ Sessions by allowing authors the ability to get immediate, personal feedback from conference attendees during the session as they present their work. Posters also provide conference attendees an opportunity to see new work in the field in a more relaxed setting.

(NEW!) Tools Papers (not exceeding 8 pages): These papers should describe tools that complement research papers from two different perspectives: (i) The tool has been used previously as part of a support pipeline (e.g., to collect data, evaluate results, etc.); (ii) The tool implements a previously proposed technique/approach. The submissions must fall under the topics of the Foundations tracks and include a short video (Max. 5 minutes) describing the main features of the presented tool. The link to the video should be included in the paper abstract. Note that commercial products cannot be accepted. The tool demo track is for promoting scientific contributions instead of promoting sales of a tool currently being commercialized. Authors of accepted tool demo papers will be invited to give a presentation and present the tool in the Hands-on session. Both presentation and hands-on will be scheduled within the program.

Evaluation criteria: We look for papers that include: (i) Clear motivation for the tool; (ii) The software engineering task/challenges the tool aims to address; (iii) Discussion regarding similar tools; (iv) Description of the tool features, envisioned users, and usage scenarios; (v) Results of validation studies for the case of mature tools, or design of planned studies if the tool is an early prototype.

Below, you will find details on the dates, the submission and evaluation of papers, besides the important topics and organization committee of each Foundations track.

SUBMISSIONS
All papers must be submitted through the EasyChair submission system at https://easychair.org/conferences/, using PDF format only. Submissions must be formatted according to the LNCS style. At least one author of accepted papers must register by the camera-ready deadline. One registration corresponds to only one paper.

EVALUATION PROCESS
Any paper which is not within the scope of the conference, or do not follow the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected without review. All other submissions are going to be peer reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee.

All accepted papers will be published by the organization in the conference proceedings that will be indexed in Scopus and DBLP.

The best paper of each track will receive an award certificate. We are also working to publish the best papers in a special issue of an international journal.
