24th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering 14-16 June, Oulu, Finland EASE welcomes papers addressing topics related to evaluating and assessing software products, processes, practices, tools & techniques including: • Defect and quality prediction • Estimation, decision-making, heuristics & biases in SE • Evaluation and comparison of software technologies (e.g. IoT, Context–Awareness, Cyber-physical) • Human factors and behavioral aspects of SE • Infrastructure and teachniques for conducting empirical studies • Inter- or multi-disciplinary studies intersecting SE • Modeling, measuring, and assessing product/ process quality, or SE success • Modeling, measuring, and assessing SE productivity and job performance • Software analysis, testing, verification, validation • SE analytics and metrics • Software project and knowledge management • Software technology transfer to the industry • Theory development and evaluation EASE also welcomes studies with negative findings or non-significant results. Similarly, EASE welcomes papers employing any of the following empirical methods: • Qualitative research including action research, case study, ethnomethodology, grounded theory, qualitative surveys (interviews) & qualitative simulation (e.g. protocol analysis) • Quantitative approaches including benchmarking, experiment, data science (i.e. AI or ML-based approaches), longitudinal studies (e.g. cohort studies), optimization studies, quantitative simulation, quasi-experiment, questionnaire surveys & repository mining. • Systematic literature review including case survey, critical review, meta-analysis, qualitative synthesis, & scoping review (systematic mapping) • Engineering research (also called “design as research” & “design science research”) • Mixed methods and multi-methodology • Replication studies • Meta-science (e.g. papers about research methods and methodological issues, whether empirical or conceptual).

The EASE full research papers track seeks high quality submissions of technical research papers describing original and unpublished results. EASE 2023 Preliminary Call For Papers Image by David Mark from Pixabay REVIEW PROCESS Authors are encouraged to consult the ACM SIGSOFT Empirical Standards for Software Engineering Research at https://acmsigsoft.github.io/EmpiricalStandards/ when designing their studies and writing their manuscripts. EASE 2023 will employ a double-anonymous review process. Authors are also expected to comply with the SIGSOFT Open Science Policy (i.e., to properly archive data and artifacts to the extent ethically and practically possible, and include a links in a Data Availability section in their manuscripts). More details regarding the review process will be released closer to the submission deadline. CONFERENCE TRACKS AND SUBMISSIONS EASE 2023 features the following tracks: full papers, vision & emerging results, short papers & posters, industry and doctoral symposium. There will also be co-located events, including workshops and tutorials, and a track planned for journal-first presentations. All papers
