Call For Papers

ACM SIGSOFT 2006 brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss the latest and most innovative results in all areas of software engineering. SIGSOFT has a tradition of welcoming both theoretical and experimental work, drawn from both academic and industrial research. We invite submissions of technical papers which report on the results of theoretical, empirical, or experimental work, as well as experience with technology transition.

The conference will offer a set of events appealing to a broad audience, including a technical track of rigorously reviewed research papers, workshops, keynote addresses, and student programs for both beginning and advanced students. For the technical track, we invite submissions describing original unpublished research results. Papers should clearly represent the relevance to software engineering goals, such as cost, quality and schedule. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

Technical papers must present original results, including a clear presentation of the validation methodology used. Theoretical papers should argue relevance to software practice.Experience reports must offer novel "lessons learned" that would be of interest to a broad software engineering audience. Papers will be evaluated by rigorous review of at least 3 program committee members and subsequent on-line and in-person discussions.

Submission Instructions

Submissions to SIGSOFT 2006 must not have been previously published, nor be under consideration for publication in any other conference, journal, book or workshop, and authors must comply with ACM policy and procedures with respect to plagiarism. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference by one of the authors, without exception.

Submissions as well as final papers must be submitted as PDF and strictly adhere to ACM proceedings format, including font sizes, line spacing, and margins. Papers are strictly limited to 11 pages in this format, and submissions exceeding 11 pages will be summarily rejected without review.
