Requirements and Submission Guidelines

Call for Submission

We encourage you to contribute and share your work in one or more of the conference tracks. Submissions requirements, guidelines, and eligibility conditions are elaborated in call for contribution of each track.

Submissions from Organizing Committee Members:
For conferences and symposia, no paper or tutorial may be submitted by the General Chair or Program Chair of the conference, or by any of their current research students. All other members of the Organizing Committee may submit to the conference.

Three main tracks will form the first edition of FAMECSE:

Technical Papers

Short Papers

Tutorials

For the technical research track, we invite high quality submissions of original and unpublished papers of all types of work, whether empirical, theoretical, tool-oriented, or conceptual. We specifically promote papers addressing how innovation in software engineering can support Artificial Intelligence development, and how AI can provide innovative solutions to advance Software Engineering practices and techniques.

Format and Submission Guidelines:

• No more than 10 pages for the main text, inclusive of figures, tables, appendices and references.
• All papers must conform, at time of submission, to the ACM Formatting Guidelines.
• All submissions must be in PDF format.
• By submitting your paper to FAMECSE 2022, all authors acknowledge that they are aware of and agree to be bound by the ACM plagiarism policy and procedures. In particular, papers submitted to FAMECSE 2022 must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere while under consideration for FAMECSE 2022. Any violations for of this submission policy will be considered a serious breech of scientific and publication ethics, and serious actions will be taken in all such cases.

All proposals must be submitted via Easy Chair Submission System.

Papers must be submitted electronically by the deadline indicated.

Paper Review and Evaluation:

All research track submissions will be reviewed by two members of the Program Committee (PC). A final decision will be made based on the collective review and comments reported by the PC members. Papers will be evaluated based on the following main criteria:

• Novelty and significance: Submissions are expected to have sufficient scientific originality and significance to add to the state-of-the-art in the their respective areas.
• Presentation Quality: Submissions are expected to meet high standards of presentation, including adequate use of the English language, clearly readable figures and tables, and respect of the formatting instructions stated in this page.

Short papers aim at initiating discussions among researchers regarding their experiences in studying the mutual benefits of AI and Software Engineering. This is done with compliance to FAMECSE goal of stimulating sharing ideas, problems, and solutions among Software Engineering researchers and practitioners.

Format and Submission Guidelines:

• No more than 4 pages for the main text, inclusive of figures, tables, appendices and references.
• All papers must conform, at time of submission, to the ACM Formatting Guidelines.
• All submissions must be in PDF format.
