===== CALL FOR PAPERS =====
Evolutionary Methods and Machine Learning in Software Engineering,
Testing and SE Repositories (SEBASENet@WCCI'2018)
https://www.uco.es/investigacion/proyectos/SEBASENet/index.php?title=SBSE@CEC2018
Special Session at (CEC2018) as part of WCCI Rio de Janerio, Brazil,
8-13 July 2018
http://www.ecomp.poli.br/~wcci2018/
IEEE CEC 2018 is a world-class conference that aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation
and computational intelligence from all around the globe.
===== Aims and Scope =====
This WCCI'2017 special session aims to bring together both theoretical
developments and applications of Computational Intelligence to
software engineering (SE), i.e.,the management, design, the
development, operation, maintenance, and testing of software. All
bio-inspired computational paradigms and machine learning techniques
are welcome, such as Genetic and Evolutionary Computation, including
Multi-Objective Approaches, Fuzzy Logic, Intelligent Agent Systems,
Neural Networks, Cellular Automata, Artificial Immune Systems, Swarm
Intelligence, and others, including machine learning techiques.
Currently, an increasing number of researchers from the SE discipline
are focusing on applying computational intelligence techniques such as
meta-heuristics (known as Search based software engineering -SBSE-),
data mining or statistics to their research. Problems such as planning
and decision making in software engineering, arrangements of modules,
finding patterns of defective modules, cost and effort estimation,
testing and test case generation, debugging and fault localisation,
knowledge extraction, etc. can be reformulated or addressed using a
set of techniques which includes searching and optimization
techniques, data mining and machine learning, simulation, process
mining, etc. These techniques, already used extensively in other
areas, are incrementally being applied in SE.
===== Topics =====
Topics of interest include:
* Search-based Software Engineering
* Requirements engineering
* Automated design and development of software
* Genetic improvement of software
* Software maintenance and self-repair
* Software effort estimation and fault prediction
* Software reliability, testing and security with data-mining or
meta-heuristic techniques
* Project management, planning and scheduling
* Studies, applications and tools to extract information from
software repositories
* Dealing with data problems in software repositories (noise,
imbalance, outliers, etc.) when applying ML or meta-heuristics
* Process mining
* Mining mobile application repositories (AppStore and Google Play)
* Tools based on evolutionary or ML methods in SE
* Real world applications of the above
===== Submission Guidelines =====
Following the WCCI'2018 guidelines all the papers have to be submitted
electronically through the conference Web application:

===== Important Dates =====
* Submission deadline: January 15th, 2018
* Notification of acceptance: March 15th, 2018
