Dear Colleagues
please take note of the Innovations in Software Engineering Conference 
(ISEC) 2023 call for papers deadline Sept 15 2022.
Two important changes this year (a) selected papers will be invited to 
ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM) and (b) 
the CFP is divided into areas to welcome contributions from research, 
education and industrial experience.

We hope to enhance the conference both in terms of research excellence 
as well as inclusive participation .
We look forward to your contributions to make the conference a 
resounding success.

Thank you so much.

# CALL FOR PAPERS

**16th Innovations in Software Engineering Conference (ISEC)**
**23-25 February, 2023**
**IIIT Allahabad, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India**
<https://isoft.acm.org/isec2023/>

ISEC is the annual conference of iSOFT, the India chapter of
[ACM SIGSOFT India](http://isoft.acm.org/). The 16th edition of the
conference will be held at [Indian Institute of Information
Technology Allahabad](https://www.iiita.ac.in/), Prayagraj, Uttar
Pradesh, India. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum
for researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry
to meet and share research problems, experiences, and cutting-edge
advancements in the field of software and systems engineering.

[ISEC 2023](http://isoft.acm.org/isec2023/) invites the submission
of technical papers describing original and unpublished results of
foundational, theoretical, empirical, and applied software and
systems engineering research. Submissions are invited in all areas
of software and systems engineering, including but not limited to
the following.

A new feature in [ISEC 2023](http://isoft.acm.org/isec2023/) is
that authors will need to choose one of the following five focus
areas. If a paper refers to multiple focus areas, authors could
choose the primary area which they feel best represents the paper.
Program chairs could re-assign a paper to a different focus area,
as needed.

**SUBMISSION DETAILS**

We invite submissions under three categories: (1) Regular papers
(2) Short papers, and (3) Posters:

(1) Regular papers should not exceed 11 pages, 10 pages for the
main text (including figures, appendix etc.) and 1 page for
references in [standard ACM 
format](https://www.acm.or/publications/proceedings-template).

Regular paper submissions are expected to contain in-depth
descriptions of the new ideas along with a detailed evaluation and
sufficient evidence for verifying the results.

**Selected papers from ISEC 2023, specifically those with high
practical value while providing strong foundations, will be invited
to submit to Stage 1 of the [Registered Papers Track of
TOSEM](https://dl.acm.org/journal/tosem/registered-papers). The
papers will go through further review in the Registered Track of TOSEM.**

(2) Short papers should not exceed 5 pages, including references in
[standard ACM 
format](https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).
Short papers may contain, for example, new, interesting ideas and
contributions which may not be evaluated extensively, tool
descriptions or case studies. However, the ideas must be robust and
of technical merit, with convincing evidence that they can be taken
towards completion.

(3) Poster papers should not exceed 2 pages. A poster paper is
intended to describe work that is at an early stage in development.
Accepted poster papers will be provided with an opportunity to
display a poster and to discuss the ideas with delegates during a
dedicated session of the conference.

We are pleased to announce a best paper award for regular papers
and a best poster award for poster papers, for ISEC 2023. The
awards will be decided based on reviews received by the PC and the
ISEC Steering Committee and will be announced during the conference.

We welcome submissions from Industry in the form of experience
reports and/or case studies. Such submissions should address the
application of software engineering practices (which may include
work on principles, techniques, tools, methods, processes) to a
specific business domain or to the development of a substantial
software platform/system. Each paper should describe the context of
a problem of practical importance and provide plausible solutions.

Accepted papers in all categories will be published in the
[ACM Digital Library](https://dl.acm.org/) and indexed by
[DBLP](https://dblp.uni-trier.de/). If a submission is accepted, at
least one author of the paper is required to attend the conference
and present the paper in person.

Please note that submissions must comply with the [ACM plagiarism
policy and 
procedures](http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism_policy).
In particular, it must not have been published elsewhere and must
not be under review elsewhere while under review for ISEC.
