19th IEEE International Conference
AUTOMATED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (ASE)
====================================
Linz, Austria, September 20-25, 2004
http://ase-conference.org/
The conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2004) brings together
researchers and practitioners to share ideas on the foundations, techniques,
tools, and applications of automated software engineering. We invite
contributions that address theoretical foundations, practical techniques,
software tools, applications and/or experience reports in automated software
engineering. ASE 2004 will include technical papers, invited talks,
tutorials, workshops, panel discussions, and a doctoral symposium.

Call for Papers
---------------
Software engineering is concerned with the analysis, design, implementation,
testing, and maintenance of large software systems. Automated software
engineering is concerned with how to apply computation to automate or
partially automate these tasks to achieve significant improvements in
quality and productivity. We invite papers that address theoretical
foundations, practical techniques, software tools, applications and/or
experience reports in automated software engineering. Topics include, but
are not limited to:
- Automated reasoning techniques
- Category & Graph-theoretic approaches to
software engineering
- Component-based systems
- Computer-supported cooperative work
- Configuration management
- Domain modeling and meta-modeling
- Human computer interaction
- Knowledge acquisition
- Maintenance and evolution
- Modeling language semantics
- Ontologies and methodologies
- Open systems development - Program understanding
- Re-engineering
- Reflection- and Metadata approaches
- Requirements engineering
- Reuse
- Specification languages
- Software architecture
- Software design and synthesis
- Software visualization
- Testing
- Tutoring, help, documentation systems
- Verification and validation

Call for Workshops
------------------
Workshops are co-located with the conference. They should provide an
opportunity for exchanging views, advancing ideas, and discussing
preliminary results on topics related to software engineering research and
applications. Workshops should not be seen as an alternative forum for
presenting full research papers. The workshops co-located with the
conference will be held either before or after the conference on 20th, 21st
or 25th of September 2004. A workshop may last one or two days.

Call for Tutorials
------------------
We invite half-day/full day tutorials addressing theoretical foundations,
practical techniques, software tools, and applications in areas related to
the ASE topics. A Tutorial program that gives attendees the opportunity to
gain new insights, knowledge and skills on evolving and emerging research
topics in the area of automated software engineering will be an essential
part of the ASE 2004. The Tutorials are scheduled for September 20 - 21,
2004 at the beginning of the ASE 2004 conference. Tutorials are intended to
provide independent instruction on a relevant theme, therefore no commercial
or sales-oriented presentations will be accepted.

Call for Formal Tool Demonstrations
-----------------------------------
The Formal Tool Demonstrations track is an important part of the conference
with the goal to allow live presentation of new tool developments. Tools are
central to automated software engineering. Hence, formal tool demonstrations
will have a prominent role within the conference. We solicit proposals for
formal tool demonstrations related to automated software engineering. Tools
can range from alpha-versions to fully developed products that are being
prepared for commercialisation. Commercial products and products that are
currently being commercialised cannot be accepted. Formal demonstrations are
intended to highlight scientific contributions, and consequently should not
be sales pitches. For further clarification, please contact the Formal Tool
Demonstrations Chairs.
We want to specially encourage submitting tool demonstration proposals in
addition to full scientific papers. Whereas the scientific paper is intended
to give the background information and point out the scientific contribution
of a new automated software engineering approach, the tool demonstration
provides a good opportunity to show how the scientific approach has been
transferred into a running tool prototype.

Doctoral Symposium
------------------
The Doctoral Symposium seeks to bring together PhD students working on
foundations, techniques, tools and applications of automated software
engineering and give them the opportunity to present and to discuss their
research with researchers in the ASE community in a constructive atmosphere.
Specifically, the symposium aims to:
- provide a setting whereby students receive feedback on their research and
guidance on future directions from a broad group of advisors,
- foster a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative
research, and
- contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other
researchers and conference events.
The symposium is intended for students who have not yet completed their
dissertation research and do not expect to write up their dissertation
before the conference. If you are already writing your dissertation, or
expect to be substantially done by the time of the symposium, we encourage
you to submit your work as a full paper to the ASE conference.The Doctoral
Symposium will be held on September 20th, two days before the main
conference.
