********************************************************************* <br>Call for Contributions to <br>Software Engineering in Society <br>********************************************************************* <br>(http://2015.icse-conferences.org/call-dates/call-for-contributions/seis) <br> <br> <br> <br>* Goals * <br> <br>ICSE 2015 features for the first time the new Track on Software <br>Engineering in Society (SEIS). <br> <br>SEIS will provide a forum for discussing the role and impact of <br>software engineering in a sustainable society that is incrementally <br>intertwined with ecological changes, social challenges, economic <br>imperatives and technical demands and opportunities. <br> <br>* SEIS welcomes * <br> <br>- innovative, inspiring, thought-provoking research supported by <br> well-motivated scientific intuition; new research directions; <br> synergies with other disciplines <br> <br>- solid research results; empirical studies; research experimentation <br> bridging the gap between models and reality of a sustainable society <br> <br>* Scope * <br> <br>SEIS 2015 seeks papers challenging the role and impact of the software <br>engineering discipline for a sustainable society, along various <br>dimensions: <br> <br>- environmental sustainability: energy, climate change; <br>- social sustainability: for both organizations, individuals and <br> citizens, communities; <br>- economic sustainability: business and economic aspects of software <br> engineering; <br>- societal sustainability: software engineering ethics, digital <br> divide, software engineering implications of, and contribution to, <br> various aspects of our society, recognition and exploitation of <br> diversity to benefit software engineering practices; <br>- technical sustainability: software that can evolve, adapt to <br> changing requirements, adapt to ever-changing society. <br> <br>SEIS authors are encouraged to contribute both mature, and novel but <br>soundly-motivated research. SEIS especially welcomes multi- and <br>interdisciplinary research showcasing how software engineering can <br>contribute, and complement, the various sustainability dimensions of <br>our society. <br> <br>* Evaluation * <br> <br>The main criterion for acceptance is the degree to which a paper <br>matches the aforementioned track goals and scope, and provides <br>innovation to software engineering, emphasizing the 'Sustainability' <br>dimension of the track. The SEIS program committee will perform the <br>assessment according to the following criteria: originality, relevance <br>and soundness of the proposal, appropriate consideration of relevant <br>literature, and quality of presentation. <br> <br>Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the <br>program committee. <br> <br>* Presentation at the conference * <br> <br>The SEIS sessions will feature a mix of short papers and long papers. <br> <br>* How to Submit * <br> <br>All papers must conform at the time of submission to the ICSE 2015 <br>formatting and submission instructions. Short papers must not exceed <br>four pages, including all text, references, appendices, and <br>figures. Long papers must not exceed 10 pages, including all text, <br>references, appendices, and figures. Papers must be submitted <br>electronically at the SEIS CyberChair submission site <br>(http://cyberchairpro.borbala.net/icseseispapers/submit/), by the <br>submission deadline of October 24, 2014 (anywhere on earth). <br> <br>* Important dates * <br> <br>Submission deadline: October 24, 2014 <br>Notification to authors: January 21, 2015 <br>Camera ready deadline: February 13, 2015 <br> <br>* SEIS Committee * <br> <br>Daniela Damian (Co-Chair) University of Victoria Canada <br>Patricia Lago (Co-Chair) VU University Amsterdam Netherlands <br> <br> <br>Marco Aiello University of Groningen Netherlands <br>Rami Bahsoon University of Birmingham UK <br>Travis Breaux Carnegie Mellon University US <br>Bernd Bruegge Technische Universität München Germany <br>Steve Easterbrook University of Toronto Canada <br>Hakan Ergodomus Carnegie Mellon University US <br>Steve Fickas University of Oregon US <br>Anthony Finkelstein University College London UK <br>Scott D.
