**************************************************************** SSBSE 2013 5th International Symposium on Search Based Software Engineering August 24 - 26, 2013 - St. Petersburg, Russia http://www.ssbse.org/2013 **************************************************************** ----------------------- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ----------------------- We invite you to participate in the upcoming 5th International Symposium on Search Based Software Engineering (SSBSE 2013) in Saint Petersburg With tracks of technical and graduate student papers, SBSE challenge, tutorials and keynotes by renowned researchers. SSBSE is a great venue for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members, and industrialists to attend. As a delegate at SSBSE 2013, you will learn about the theory and practice of search based methods in a wide variety of areas within the software engineering field. SSBSE 2013 is co-located with the 9th joint meeting of the European Software Engineering Conference and the ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (ESEC/FSE 2013). ----------------- KEYNOTE SPEAKERS ----------------- Wesley Weimer - University of Virginia, USA Xin Yao - University of birmingham, UK ---------- TUTORIALS ---------- David R.

PETERSBURG ---------------------- Saint Petersburg is the Venice of the north, the cultural capital of Russia and the home of some of the most spectacular sights of the world. Founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, Saint Petersburg was the Imperial capital of Russia. Even after the capital was moved to Moscow in 1918, St. Pete holds its status of Federal city. With help of UNESCO, city center saved its historical look and guests of the city can enjoy diversity of architectural styles and magnificent views. There are over 30 emperor, grand-prince and other palaces, most of them saved initial interiors and are used as museums and concert halls. -------------------- ORGANIZING COMMITTEE -------------------- GENERAL CHAIR Gordon Fraser, University of Sheffield, UK PROGRAM CHAIRS Guenther Ruhe, University of Calgary, Canada Yuanyuan Zhang, University College London, UK GRADUATE STUDENT TRACK CHAIR Gregory M.
