FASE 2015

18th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering (FASE)

FASE is concerned with the foundations on which software engineering is built. Submissions should focus on novel techniques and the way in which they contribute to making software engineering a more mature and soundly-based discipline. Contributions that combine the development of conceptual and methodological advances with their formal foundations and tool support are particularly encouraged. We welcome contributions on all such fundamental approaches, including:

Software engineering as an engineering discipline, including its interaction with and impact on society;
Requirements engineering: capture, consistency, and change management of software requirements;
Software architectures: description and analysis of the architecture of individual systems or classes of applications;
Specification, design, and implementation of particular classes of systems: adaptive, collaborative, embedded, distributed, mobile, pervasive, or service-oriented applications;
Software quality: validation and verification of software using theorem proving, model checking testing, analysis, refinement methods, metrics or visualisation techniques;
Model-driven development and model transformation: meta-modelling, design and semantics of domain-specific languages, consistency and transformation of models, generative architectures;
Software processes: support for iterative, agile, and open source development;
Software evolution: refactoring, reverse and re-engineering, configuration management and architectural change, or aspect-orientation.

Important Dates and Submission

See the ETAPS 2015 joint call for papers. Submit your paper via the FASE 2015 author interface of EasyChair.

FASE accepts research papers (max 15 pp), tool papers (max 15 pp) and tool demo papers (4+6 pp). FASE 2015 will not use a rebuttal phase.
