The International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE) is one of the premier conferences for research related to empirical software engineering. The EASE research track seeks high-quality submissions of technical research papers describing original and unpublished results. A selection of the best papers will be invited to a Special Issue of Empirical Software Engineering (EMSE).

Topics

EASE 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 software engineering
Theory development, operationalization, testing, and application
Applications of evaluation and assessment in specific contexts, such as:
Software Requirements
Software Architecture
Data-Driven Software Engineering
Global Software Engineering
Software Design
Software Construction
Software Testing
Software Operations
DevOps and Continuous Delivery
Software Maintenance
Software Configuration Management
Software Engineering Management
Software Engineering Models and Methods
Software Engineering Process (e.g., agile, hybrid)
Software Quality
AI-Based Software Development
Human factors and behavioral aspects of Software Engineering
Software development practices and process improvement
Sustainability in Software Engineering
Inter- or multi-disciplinary studies intersecting software engineering
Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering
Ethics in Software Engineering

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