Below, I just repeat all proposals for possible venues for SATTOSE 2019 that have been mentioned so far.
Since I’m stepping down as SATTOSE SC chair, I would prefer to leave the discussion to pick next year’s venue to the new chair.
In the mean time, my personal opinion on the venue is :
- It would be interesting to have it in Austria for once, but is there any concrete proposal?
- Having it organised in France again for the reasons mentioned would be good too.
- I don’t have any objection against Romain Robbes’ proposal to host it in Italy,
though I think it is a pity that would imply that SATTOSE is only 2 days then.
- Tunesia seems to be a bit too far.
- I didn’t hear any concrete proposals for any of the other venues mentioned
so for now I just consider them as loose ideas.
Suggested SATToSE 2019 venues
Italy
IT, Bolzano, Romain Robbes
We have a concrete offer from Romain here, collocated with a summer school.
It would be a SATTOSE that is shorter than usual though
(except for attendees that join both SATTOSE and the summer school)
Tunesia
Cf. a suggestion by Gregorio Robles.
Should this be investigated in more detail?
France In a previous discussion last year it was suggested it would be nice to have SATToSE organised in France again.
What happened to that idea? That idea would revive French participation in SATToSE again
since it diminished significantly in recent years. Tom suggested as possible venues:
FR, Bordeaux, Xavier Blanc, Jean-Remy Falleri
FR, Lille, Laurence Duchien
Netherlands Are any of these concrete proposal or just an initial suggestion by Tom.
NL, Groningen, Mircea Lungu or Tijs van der Storm
Nl, Alexander Serebrenik, Eindhoven
NL, Amsterdam, Magiel Bruntink
Luxemburg
LU, Luxemburg, Lionel Briand
Germany
DE, Hagen, Friedrich Steinmann
DE, Berlin or Potsdam
Austria
AT, Vienna, Manuel Wimmer or someone else ???
AT, Klagenfurt, Martin Pinzger
Denmark
DK, Copenhagen Andrzej Warszowski
Sweden
SE, Chalrmers, Michel Chaudron

CALL FOR PAPERS: 12th Intl Workshop on Models and Evolution (ME 2018)
Co-located with the ACM/IEEE 21st International Conference on Model Driven
Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2018)
October 14-19, 2018 — Copenhagen, Denmark
http://www.models-and-evolution.com
===============================================================
Software artefacts constantly increase in complexity, variety and novelty.
Environment and business constraints, user requirements and new insights put
additional pressure on their adaptability, availability, reliability and
quality: they continuously need to be up to date. But evolution issues are
critical, complex and costly to manage. They concern requirements,
architecture, design, source code, documentation, integration or deployment.
They also typically affect various kinds of models (data, behavioral,
domain,
source code or goal models). Addressing and managing these varieties of
changes is essential. Models and meta-models, the cornerstone of complex
software systems’ abstractions, represent a powerful mean for facing
software
evolution challenges by ensuring a more abstract and expressive modeling of
software evolution. They can help and guide software evolution and can
enforce
and reduce critical risks and important involved resources. The workshop
puts
the focus on Models and Evolution by considering two main sides: (1)
Managing
software evolution needs by relying on the high- level abstraction power of
models and meta-models; (2) Managing model and metamodel evolution needs and
the co-evolution of all related software artefacts by putting attention to
their increasing evolution issues as they become primary artefacts.
ME 2018 will bring together researchers and practitioners to share
experiences
in dealing with the various forms of models and evolution. It combines a
strong practical focus with theoretical approaches as required in any
discipline to support engineering practices. ME 2018 targets researchers and
practitioners on model-driven engineering to meet, disseminate and exchange
ideas, identify the key issues related to the problem of models and
evolution
and explore possible solutions and future work.
** TOPIC
Contributions are solicited on all aspects of models and evolution, its
foundations, practices and technologies. In particular, we encourage
submissions from both academia and industry about the following (non-
exhaustive) list of topics:
– Formalisms, theories, formal approaches, methods and languages for
expressing and understanding model-driven software evolution
– Supporting processes and tools for managing model-driven software
evolution
– (Co-)evolution and (co-)adaptation of models, meta-models and modeling
(languages; classification of (co-)evolution scenarios
– Conformance checking, inconsistency management, synchronization,
differencing, comparison, impact analysis of evolving models
– Transformation techniques for evolving models: restructuring, refactoring,
migration, translation, composition, versioning, etc.
– Maintenance and evolution of domain-specific languages Maintenance and
evolution of model transformations
–Traceability maintenance, verification, and validation of evolving models,
evolving model transformations, and evolving modeling languages; runtime
models
– Analysis of model maintainability
– Variability management using models
– Model-driven software architecture recovery, reverse architecting,
reconstruction, migration and software release engineering
– Model-based and model-related techniques for legacy systems evolution and
systems integration
– Reusable evolution solutions and patterns
– Evolution issues in new and emerging systems and paradigms (e.g., cyber-
physical systems, systems of systems, systems engineering, Internet of
Things,
cloud computing, etc)
– Training, education, and certification around software evolution
– State-of-the-art and state-of-practice in software evolution Empirical
studies, industrial needs, experience reports and experiments in software
evolution
– Tools and methods supporting all of the above topics

Tool Demos, Doctoral Symposium, Journal-First
======================================================================
IMPORTANT DATES*
Tool demonstration submission: May 31, 2018
Tool demonstration notification: July 3, 2018
Tool demonstration camera-ready: July 24, 2018
Doctoral symposium submission: May 31, 2018

Journal-first submission: June 15, 2018
Journal-first notification: July 3, 2018
* Dates are to be understood as AoE (Anywhere on Earth)
======================================================================
GENERAL THEME
The IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering (ASE) Conference series is the premier research forum for automated software engineering. Each year, it brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss foundations, techniques, and tools for automating the analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of large software systems.
=== TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS ==============================================
http://www.ase2018.com/?p=calls#demonstrations
The objective of the ASE 2018 Demonstrations Track is to excite the software engineering community about new advances in our field through compelling demonstrations that help advance research and practice. The track is a highly interactive venue where researchers and practitioners can demonstrate their tools and discuss them with attendees.
Tool-based demonstrations describe novel aspects of early prototypes or mature tools. The tool demonstrations must communicate clearly the following information to the audience:
- the envisioned users;
- the software engineering challenge it proposes to address;
- the methodology it implies for its users; and
- the results of validation studies already conducted for mature tools,
- or the design of planned studies for early prototypes.
Highlighting scientific contributions through concrete artifacts is a critical supplement to the traditional ASE research papers. A demonstration provides the opportunity to communicate how the scientific approach has been implemented or how a specific hypothesis has been assessed, including details such as implementation and usage issues, data models and representations, APIs for tool and data access. Authors of regular research papers are thus also encouraged to submit an accompanying demonstration paper, stating clearly the contributions of the tool paper over the research paper. The chairs will ensure that tool papers and research papers are not reviewed by the same people, to avoid revealing the authorship of research papers.
EVALUATION
Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the demonstrations selection committee.
The evaluation criteria include:
- the relevance of the proposed demonstration for the ASE audience;
- the technical soundness of the demonstrated tool (for a tool demo);
- the originality of its underlying ideas;
- the quality of the optionally provided video, code, and datasets;
- and the degree to which it considers the relevant literature.
Tool demos that can demonstrate real-world applicability of the underlying ideas, e.g. by references to industrial case studies, will be particularly appreciated.
SUBMISSION
Submissions must conform to the ASE 2018 formatting and submission instructions (ACM format preferred but IEEE format also acceptable). In particular, submissions of demonstrations papers must meet the following criteria:
A demonstration submission must not exceed four pages (including all text, references, and figures). Authors are encouraged to submit a short video (between three and five minutes long) illustrating the demonstration. The video should be made available on YouTube at the time of submission. Videos should (i) provide an overview of the tool's capabilities; (ii) walk through (some of) the tool capabilities; (iii) where appropriate, provide clarifying voice-over and/or annotation highlights; and (iv) be engaging and exciting for the watcher!
Authors are encouraged to make their code and datasets open source, and to provide a URL for the code and datasets with the submission.
A submission must not have been previously published in a demonstration form and must not simultaneously be submitted to another symposium.
Submissions for tool track will NOT follow double-blind review process.
The paper submission must be in PDF.
Papers must be submitted electronically through HotCRP (https://ase18tools.hotcrp.com) by May 31, 2018.
At the end of the abstract, please append the URLs, if any, at which your demo video, code, and datasets can be found. Please note that for consistency, we require that ALL videos be uploaded to YouTube and made accessible during the time of reviewing. Authors of successful submissions will have the opportunity to revise the paper, the video (and its hosting location), the code, and the datasets by the camera-ready deadline.
Submissions must conform to the ASE 2018 formatting guidelines (ACM format preferred but IEEE format also acceptable). Submissions that do not comply with the instructions and size limits will be rejected without review.
For further information, please email the Tool Demonstrations co-chairs.

=== DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM ===============================================
http://www.ase2018.com/?p=calls#symposium
The goal of the ASE 2018 Doctoral Symposium is to provide a supportive yet questioning setting in which the Ph.D. students have an opportunity to present and discuss their research with other researchers in the ASE community. The symposium aims at providing students useful guidance and feedback on their research and to facilitate networking within the scientific community by interacting with established researchers and with their peers at a similar stage in their careers.
The technical scope of the symposium is that of ASE. Students should consider participating in the Doctoral Symposium after they have settled on a dissertation topic with some initial research results. The ASE 2018 Doctoral Symposium is open to Ph.D. students at any stage of their research, whereby students at the initial stage (first or second year) will be able to challenge their ideas and current research directions, while students at a later stage (third or fourth year) will be able to present their preliminary results and get advice for improvement and for better exposition of their contributions and conclusions.
EVALUATION
The Doctoral Symposium Committee will select participants using the following criteria:
- Quality of the research (plan) and its relevance to ASE;
- Quality of the research abstract;
- Diversity of background, research topics, and approaches.
Students should not infer that a list of prior publications is in any way expected or required; we welcome submissions from students for whom this will be their first formal submission as well as those who have previously published.
SUBMISSION
To apply as a student participant in the ASE 2018 Doctoral Symposium, one should prepare a submission package consisting of two parts, both of which must be submitted by the submission deadline (see instructions below).
All submissions must come in PDF format. The formatting is the same as the ASE research track.
Part 1: Research Abstract (max. 4 pages)
The research abstract must conform to the ASE 2018 formatting and submission instructions and should cover all of the following:
- The research problem with justification of its importance;
- Discussion on previous work by submitter and others;
- A sketch of the proposed approach or solution;
- The expected contributions of the dissertation research;
- Progress that has been made so far in solving the stated problem;
- The methods that are or will be used to carry out the research;
- A plan for evaluating the work and presenting credible evidence to the research community;
- A list of publications (if any) of the submitter (appeared, accepted, submitted).
Students at the initial stage of their research might have some difficulty in addressing some of these instructions, but should make the best attempt. The research abstract should include the title of the work, the submitter's name a one-paragraph summary in the style of an abstract for a regular paper, and a text body that covers the points above. A paper for a doctoral symposium typically describes the work of a single student and does not have any coauthors. During the submission process, the system will additionally ask for the name of the advisor(s), contact information, and a link to the submitter's academic web page.
The deadline for submitting the research abstract is May 31, 2018; notifications are expected for July 3, 2018.
Part 2: Letter of Recommendation
In addition to the research abstract, a submitter must provide a letter for recommendation from their Ph.D. advisor. This letter should include the student's name and a candid assessment of the current status of the dissertation research and an expected date for dissertation submission. The recommendation letter should be in PDF, and sent to both doctoral suposium co-chairs (abdelhak.seriai(a)lirmm.fr and Virginie.Wiels(a)onera.fr) with the subject "ASE 2018 DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM RECOMMENDATION".
ACCEPTANCE
All authors of accepted contributions will receive further instructions for preparing their camera ready versions. Authors must register for the ASE 2018 Doctoral Symposium and present their work at the symposium.

ASE is inviting journal-first presentations for papers published recently in prestigious software engineering journals. This will both enrich the ASE program as well as offer the authors an opportunity to speak to the community.
The journal-first manuscripts are published through the journals and will not be part of the ASE proceedings. The journal-first papers will be listed in the conference program and the proceeding will only contain the abstract and a pointer to the journal publication.
At least one author of each presentation accepted for the journal-first program must register and attend the conference to present the paper.
SCOPE
We invite applications for journal papers published in:
- Automated Software Engineering (Springer)
- IEEE Transaction of Software Engineering (IEEE TSE)
- ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM)
- Empirical Software Engineering
Other journals may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
A journal-first presentation submitted to ASE 2018 must adhere to the following criteria:
- The accepted paper version was published (or accepted for publication) in a journal from the above list no earlier than January 1st 2017.
- The paper is in the scope of the conference.
- The paper reports completely new research results or presents novel contributions that significantly extend and were not previously reported in prior work; and
- The paper does not extend prior work solely with additional proofs or algorithms (or other such details presented for completeness), additional empirical results, or minor enhancements or variants of the results presented in the prior work.
- The paper has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, journal-first programs of other conferences.
SUBMISSION
Authors of manuscripts that respect these criteria are invited to fill out this application form, including the paper title, authors, an extended abstract and a pointer to the original journal paper:
https://goo.gl/forms/Xcr9FL0zFpH1cTIk2
Authors will be invited to present their paper at ASE 2018 after a check that the paper is in scope for the conference and it adheres to the criteria above. The papers will not be reviewed again for technical content. In case an exceptionally high number of proposals is received, presentation proposals will be prioritized according to fit to the conference theme and structure of sessions.

ICSME 2018: 34th International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution
September 23-29, 2018
Madrid, Spain
https://icsme2018.github.io/https://twitter.com/IEEEICSME
CALL FOR PAPERS - TOOL DEMO TRACK (https://icsme2018.github.io/cfp/ToolDemoTrackCFP.html)
The ICSME 2018 Tool Demonstration track represents a unique opportunity for practitioners and researchers alike to present and discuss novel software maintenance and evolution tools.
We welcome submissions for tools ranging from research prototypes to industry-strength mature tools. We also encourage submissions that accompany papers from the Research Paper track. While research papers describe the foundation for a proposed approach, a tool demo paper describes the incarnation of the approach in a tool with a focus on the tool's architecture and implementation, the intended usage scenarios, and its evaluation with respect to these scenarios
Accepted papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings.
REVIEW CRITERIA
Each Tool Demo submission will be evaluated by at least three members of the program committee. The evaluation criteria include:
1. Relevance of the proposed tool to the ICSME community
2. Clear motivation behind the tool including typical usage scenarios
3. The novelty of the proposed tool and/or its architecture
4. Technical soundness of the tool
5. Intrinsic/extrinsic evaluation of the tool
6. Consideration of the relevant literature
7. Presentation quality and originality of the paper and its accompanying video
SUBMISSION
Submissions for the Tool Demo track must satisfy the following criteria:
1. Describe a tool, according to the above guidelines, that is within scope of the conference's software maintenance and evolution topics. Please refer to the CFP (https://icsme2018.github.io/cfp/ResearchTrackCFP.html) of the conference's Research Track for examples.
2. Adhere to the ICSME 2018 formatting instructions (https://icsme2018.github.io/cfp/formatting-instructions.html).
3. Be submitted as PDF to the Tool Demo track via Easy Chair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsme2018).
4. Not exceed 5 pages: 4 pages for the content + 1 page for references only.
5. Be accompanied by a link to a 3-to-5 minutes video that shows a typical usage scenario of the tool. The video can be made available via YouTube or on the tool's website.
6. Need not be blinded (i.e., authors will remain visible to the reviewers). This to facilitate reporting on characteristics such as the tool's ecosystem, community support, etc.
PRESENTATION
Authors of accepted papers will be invited to give a presentation at the conference. At least one author should be present. The presentation should include either a live or a recorded tool demonstration.
