<div>Twitter: @IEEEICSME</div><div>Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Council on Software</div><div>Engineering (TCSE)</div><div>============================================</div><div><br></div><div>The deadline for the ERA/Tool Demo/Doctoral Symposium/Industry tracks</div>
<div>is approaching! Please read below and refer to the web page for</div><div>further information.</div><div><br></div><div>================================</div><div>IMPORTANT DATES</div><div>================================</div>
<div><br></div><div>Abstract submission: June 23, 2014 (optional)</div><div>Full papers submission: June 30, 2014</div><div>Notification: July 31, 2014</div><div>Camera-ready: August 7, 2014</div><div><br></div><div>*** One week submission 'Grace Period' for all paper tracks ***</div>
<div><br></div><div>Authors can update the PDF file for a paper submitted by the</div><div>submission deadline for one week. No new papers will be accepted</div><div>during the grace period.</div><div><br></div><div>================================</div>
<div>ERA Track</div><div>================================</div><div><br></div><div>The goal of the Early Research Achievements (ERA) track is to provide</div><div>researchers and practitioners with a forum for presenting great,</div>
<div>promising ideas in early stages of research. These ideas do not</div><div>require a strong empirical evaluation! The 2014 ERA track aims to</div><div>provide constructive feedback to guide you from your initial idea and</div>
<div>limited evaluation towards a solid ICSME 2014 paper with strong</div><div>empirical underpinnings. The topics of interest for this track are the</div><div>same as for the main research track, i.e., all the topics in the</div>
<div>research and practice of software maintenance and evolution. Papers</div><div>submitted to the ERA track must not have been accepted previously for</div><div>publication or submitted for review to another conference, journal, or</div>
<div>book.</div><div><br></div><div>Further details are available at:</div><div><a href="http://www.icsme.org/call-for-papers/era-track-cfp" target="_blank">http://www.icsme.org/call-for-papers/era-track-cfp</a></div><div>
<br></div><div>
================================</div><div>Doctoral Symposium Track</div><div>================================</div><div><br></div><div>As with previous editions, ICSME 2014 will feature a double doctoral</div><div>symposium:</div>
<div><br></div><div> Pre-doctoral: The first part is dedicated to PhD students in the</div><div> midst of their doctoral studies in the field of software</div><div> maintenance, who intend to finish their PhD within the next two</div>
<div> years (2015-2016). This symposium aims to provide PhD students with</div><div> an opportunity to present their ongoing work, to interact with other</div><div> researchers in the field, and to get constructive feedback from</div>
<div> senior researchers. Participants will discuss their goals, methods,</div><div> and results at an early stage in their research.</div><div><br></div><div> Post-doctoral: The second part is dedicated to researchers who have</div>
<div> delivered their PhD dissertations in the area of software</div><div> maintenance and evolution within the last 2 years (2012-2014). This</div><div> symposium aims to provide a forum for post-docs to present the</div>
<div> highlights of their work to the ICSME community. Moreover,</div><div> participants will be asked to reflect on the PhD process itself, and</div><div> share some lessons learned with PhD students as well as PhD</div>
<div> advisors.</div><div><br></div><div>Further details are available at:</div><div><a href="http://www.icsme.org/call-for-papers/doctoral-symposium" target="_blank">http://www.icsme.org/call-for-papers/doctoral-symposium</a></div>
<div>
<br></div><div>================================</div><div>Industrial Track</div><div>================================</div><div><br></div><div>This track brings together participants from academia and industry in</div><div>
a venue that highlights practical and real-world studies of software</div><div>maintenance and evolution. This track aims to foster</div><div>mutually-beneficial links between those engaged in scientific research</div><div>
and practitioners working to improve software maintenance and</div><div>evolution practices. Experiences from practitioners provide crucial</div><div>input into future research directions and allow others to learn from</div>
<div>successes and failures.</div><div><br></div><div>Further details are available at:</div><div><a href="http://www.icsme.org/call-for-papers/industry-track-cfp" target="_blank">http://www.icsme.org/call-for-papers/industry-track-cfp</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>================================</div><div>Tool Demo Track</div><div>================================</div><div><br></div><div>This track provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners</div>
<div>to present and discuss the most recent advances, experiences, and</div><div>challenges in the field of software maintenance with the goal of</div><div>allowing live presentation of new research tools. Whether the tools</div>
<div>are early research prototypes or polished tools prepared for</div><div>commercialization (but not yet commercialized), this track provides</div><div>the perfect opportunity to reach an international audience of</div>
<div>researchers and practitioners, and solicit critical feedback.</div><div><br></div><div>Further details are available at:</div><div><a href="http://www.icsme.org/call-for-papers/tool-demo-track-cfp" target="_blank">http://www.icsme.org/call-for-papers/tool-demo-track-cfp</a></div>
