The ASE conference has become one of the world's premier Software Engineering venues. Software engineering is concerned with the analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of large software systems. Automated software engineering focuses on how to automate or partially automate these tasks to achieve significant improvements in quality and productivity.
ASE encourages the submission of technical research papers, experience reports, demonstrations, and short papers about emerging topics. In addition it features a doctoral symposium, several associated workshops, and a number of in-depth tutorials. The proceedings will be published in the ACM International Proceedings Series. Authors of selected papers will be invited for a special issue of the Journal of Automated Software Engineering, published by Springer.
