CALL FOR PAPERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st Workshop on Continuous Software Engineering (CSE 2016)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://cse2016.swc-rwth.de/

In conjunction with Software Engineering 2016
Vienna, February 23, 2016

Scope of the workshop:
----------------------
In order to develop and deliver high-quality products to their customers, software
companies have to adopt state-of-the-art software development processes. To face this
challenge, companies are applying innovative methods, approaches and techniques like
agile methods, DevOps, Continuous Delivery, test automation, infrastructure as code or
container-based virtualization.

These new approaches have a high impact on the specification, design, development,
maintenance, operation and the evolution of software systems. Therefore, common software
engineering activities, organizational forms and processes have to be questioned,
adapted and extended to ensure continuous and unobstructed soft-ware development
(Continuous Software Engineering). So far, there is a lack of systematic approaches to
face these challenges.

The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss innovative solutions, ideas and
experiences in the area of Continuous Software Engineering (CSE).

Workshop topics:
----------------
The specific topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
* DevOps & Release Engineering
* Approaches to Continuous Integration/Delivery/Deployment
* Infrastructure as Code
* Test Automation & Optimization
* Monitoring & Performance
* Security for DevOps
* Provisioning of Software & Infrastructure
* Application Virtualization with Container
* Engineering of Deployment Pipelines
* Quality & Metrics for DevOps
* Design for Scalability
* Organizational issues for CSE
* Continuous Delivery for Requirements Engineering/Early Prototyping
* Change Management - Handling user feed-back
* Teaching CSE approaches
* Software Architectures for CSE
* Microservices
* Software Development Lifecycle for CSE

Submission guidelines:
----------------------
We solicit two types of submissions: full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers
(up to 4 pages). Full papers present original and evaluated research whereas short
papers describe novel ideas, identified challenges, and especially experience reports
related to the workshop's theme. We encourage you to submit a contribution, both from a
research and an industry perspective. All submissions will be peer reviewed and judged
on the basis of their clarity, relevance, and interest to the workshop participants.
Paper submissions must be in English and conform to the LNI format.
Papers are to be submitted electronically to the CSE2016 EasyChair paper submission system.
The workshop proceedings will be published at CEUR-WS.
Authors of accepted papers have to register for the workshop.

Important Dates:
----------------
Paper submission:         December 13, 2015
Acceptance notification:  January 12, 2016
Camera-ready version:     January 23, 2016
