----------------------------------------------------------------

The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software
Engineering brings together researchers and practitioners to share
ideas on the foundations, techniques, tools, and applications of
automated software engineering technology. Both automatic systems
and systems that support and cooperate with people are within the
scope of the conference, as are models of software and software
engineering activities.

TOPICS:

ASE'05 encourages contributions describing basic research, novel
applications, and experience report relevant to automating software
engineering activities. Solicited topics include, but are not
limited to:

        - Automated reasoning techniques
        - Automated software specification
        - Automated software design and synthesis
        - Category and Graph-theoretic approaches
        - Component-based systems
        - Computer-supported cooperative work
        - Configuration management
        - Domain modeling and meta-modeling
        - Human computer interaction
        - Knowledge acquisition
        - Maintenance and evolution
        - Modeling language semantics
        - Ontologies and methodologies
        - Open systems development
        - Process and workflow management
        - Program understanding
        - Re-engineering
        - Reflection and Metadata approaches
        - Requirements engineering
        - Reuse
        - Specification languages
        - Software architectures
        - Software design and synthesis
        - Software visualization
        - Testing
        - Tutoring, help, documentation systems
        - Verification and validation

PUBLICATION:

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. In
addition, authors of a selection of papers from the conference will
be invited to revise and re-submit their papers for consideration
for a special issue of the Journal of Automated Software
Engineering (Springer). ASE'05 will also include invited talks,
tutorials, panel discussions, doctoral symposium, and research
demonstrations, for which separate calls for participation will be
issued.

PAPER SUBMISSION:

Papers should not exceed 10 pages in the conference format
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). Papers
exceeding the length restriction will not be reviewed. Papers will
be reviewed by at least three program committee members. All papers,
especially application papers and experience reports, should clearly
identify their novel contributions. Please see the ASE on-line
Bibliography at http://ase.informatik.uni-essen.de/olbib/index.html
as a reference for potential contributors. All papers should be
submitted electronically in PDF format by June 6, 2005 (abstracts
should be submitted by May 31). Information regarding electronic
submission will be available at the conference website
http://www.ase-conference.org/
