Call for Papers


EASE is ranked as "A" in the Excellence in Research for Australia
(ERA) journal & conference rankings

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dates: Monday 14 May and Tuesday 15 May 2012

Venue: Escuela Superior de Informática (Ciudad Real), University of
Castilla-La Mancha, Spain

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keynote Speakers

Professor Dieter Rombach, University of Kaiserslautern, Fraunhofer
Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (Fraunhofer IESE),
Germany.

Keynote's title: "Empirical Models: Towards a Science of Software
Engineering".

Professor Helen Sharp, The Open University, UK.

Keynote's title: "Ethnographic studies in Software Engineering".


For over fifteen years the International Conference on Evaluation &
Assessment in Software Engineering has provided a forum where empirical
researchers can present their latest research, and where issues
related to all forms of empirical and evaluation studies in software
engineering can be discussed. The EASE tradition is one of providing
a workshop-like atmosphere, in which papers can be presented with
time for constructive discussion of their results and processes. We
plan to continue with this format for the conference in 2012.

The theme of EASE 2012 will be "Empirical Grand Challenges for Agile
Development"; however, we continue to welcome papers on any aspect
of product and process evaluation and assessment, qualitative and
quantitative.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Topics encompass any relevant aspect of empirical studies of software
engineering, and include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Experiments (laboratory and field)
* Replications of empirical studies
* Case studies
* Surveys
* Observational studies
* Field studies
* Action research
* Methodological issues and practices
* Systematic reviews, mapping studies and meta-analysis

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We seek two types of submissions: Full and short papers.

Full papers. Full papers should be no longer than 10 pages in length.

Short papers. Short Papers should be no more than 5 pages in
length. Their goal is to promote current work, research, practices,
experiences, and issues that are not at a mature stage yet to be
submitted as full papers.

All papers will be included in the Proceedings, which will be published
and indexed by the IET.

Formatting guidelines for papers can be found at:

The Venue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ciudad Real (which means 'Royal City' in Spanish) is a city located
in the Southern Central part of Spain, in the region of Castilla-La
Mancha, which is the "Don Quixote" region. It is perfectly located
for transport connections, as it is only 1 hour away from the main
cities of Spain: Madrid (1 hr by high speed train) and Barcelona
(less than 1 hour by plane).

It is a modern city, one of the very few in Spain where you can forget
your problems and have time to enjoy yourself. Ciudad Real's citizens
love the outdoors, enjoying the weather and people. Their hospitality
and open mindedness make visiting this city an experience that nobody
should miss.
