Industry Track

The objective of the Industry Track is to establish a meaningful dialog among software practitioners and software engineering researchers on the results (both good and bad), obstacles, and lessons learnt while applying program comprehension practices and tools in various environments. The Industry Track presentations at the conference provide accounts of the application of software engineering practices (which may be principles, techniques, tools, methods, processes, testing techniques etc.) to a specific domain or to the development of large software systems. We like the Industry Track presentations to be of interest to software development professionals as well as software researchers.

We seek submissions on industry relevant topics in technology, tools and practices related to program comprehension, including both the human activity of comprehending software, as well as the processes, techniques and tools for supporting it.

=======================

SUBMISSION

Submissions can be in one of three forms:
  • A traditional industry full paper, which should follow the format of the research track.
  • A short paper, which should follow the format of the short research paper. It may have early results with initial evaluation.
  • A talk, which contains an abstract and a talk outline, as well as slides, if ready. The talk should include the problem definition, importance, solutions, and results / lessons learned.

Submissions must be either:
  • Industrial full paper: 8 pages for the main text, inclusive of figures, tables and appendices plus 2 additional pages for references (for a total of maximum 10 pages)
  • Industrial short paper: 4 pages for the main text, inclusive of figures, tables and appendices plus 1 additional page for references (for a total of maximum 5 pages)
  • Talk: 2 pages abstract describing the problem definition, importance, solutions, and results / lessons learned

All accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library and will get a presentation slot.

=======================

HOW TO SUBMIT

Submitted papers must not exceed 2 / 4+1 / 8+2 pages, including all tables, figures, and references and are required to be formatted according to the instructions provided here. Papers must be submitted through the EasyChair Conference System. All submissions will go through a peer review process, with independent PC members reviewing each submission.
