SIGSOFT 2002 brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to exchange new results related to both traditional and emerging fields of software engineering. We invite submission of technical papers which report results of theoretical, empirical, and experimental work, as well as experience with technology transition.

TOPICS OF INTEREST. We encourage submissions in any field of software engineering, including, but not limited to:

• Component-Based Software Engineering
• Distributed, Web-Based, and Internet-Scale Software Engineering
• Empirical Studies of Software Tools and Methods
• Feature Interaction and Crosscutting Concerns
• Generic Programming and Software Reuse
• Requirements Engineering
• Software Analysis and Model Checking
• Software Architectures
• Software Configuration Management
• Software Engineering and Security
• Software Engineering Tools and Environments
• Software Information Management
• Software Metrics
• Software Performance Engineering
• Software Process and Workflow
• Software Reengineering
• Software Reliability Engineering
• Software Safety
• Software Testing
• Specification and Verification
• User Interfaces

SUBMISSION. Paper submissions will be made electronically via the Web, at the conference web site. Both an abstract and the full paper must be submitted together by the submission deadline. People without Web access must make advance arrangements with the Program Chair by email at least one week before the submission deadline. Papers must not exceed ten (10) 8.5"x11" single spaced pages using a 10-point or larger font. Accepted papers must be in the ACM proceedings format and must be accompanied by a signed ACM copyright release form.

» Templates for paper submissions are avialable.«

EVALUATION. Paper submissions will be reviewed by the program committee for originality, significance, soundness, and quality of presentation. Papers must clearly present an original contribution to the state-of-the-art. Experience papers are welcome, but they must clearly present general lessons learned that would be of interest and benefit to a broad audience of both researchers and practitioners. Papers must describe work that has not been submitted to or presented at another forum.

Contact theTutorials Chair for information on tutorials and the workshop co-chairs for information on the workshops.
