The International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) is the premier software engineering conference, providing a forum for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in the field of software engineering.
We are all saddened by the passing of David Notkin, our General Chair. David was passionate about software engineering, and that passion is reflected in the wonderful conference that David and the ICSE Team have been organizing over the past three years. Come. Learn. Participate. Connect.
Track: Technical Research
Session: Empirical Studies
