Call For Papers

Overview

The 17th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering (TASE 2023) will be held in Bristol, UK on July 4-6, 2023. Modern society is increasingly dependent on software systems that are becoming larger and more complex. This poses new challenges to the various aspects of software engineering, for instance, software dependability in trusted computing, interaction with physical components in cyber physical systems, quality assurance in AI systems, distribution in cloud computing applications, security and privacy in general. Hence, new concepts and methodologies are required to enhance the development of software engineering from theoretical aspects.

TASE 2023 aims to provide a forum for people from academia and industry to communicate their latest results on innovative advances in software engineering. TASE 2023 is the 17th in the TASE series. The past TASE symposia were successfully held in Shanghai ('07), Nanjing ('08), Tianjin ('09), Taipei ('10), Xi'an ('11), Beijing ('12), Birmingham ('13), Changsha ('14), Nanjing ('15), Shanghai (’16), Nice ('17), Guangzhou ('18), Guilin (’19), Hangzhou (’20), Shanghai (’21), Cluj (’22).

Submission

Submissions to the conference must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the conference. The proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 16 pages (excluding bibliography) for long papers and 6 pages (excluding bibliography) for short papers in LNCS format. Submissions should be made through the TASE 2023 submission page, handled by the EasyChair conference management system.
