Emerging Results and

Vision Papers

These papers should promote current work in progress on research and practice and should should clearly state the longer-term objectives and planned work. Papers on emerging results should communicate initial research results for which there is not yet a complete evaluation. The primary purpose of such papers is the communication of new ideas to obtain early feedback from the empirical software engineering community. 

The track also welcomes vision papers which will be on long-term challenges and opportunities in empirical software engineering research that are outside of current mainstream topics of the field. The goal of vision papers is to describe how empirical software engineering research and practice will look at least ten years from now. 

As a new addition this year, we welcome Reflection papers which focuses on the mid-aged studies published in a partnered journal (TSE, IST, EMSE, JSS, TOSEM) in 3 to 7 years ago with the intent to discuss the current impact and implications.  The purpose of this initiative is fostering innovation and transition of research results by systematically allowing authors to explore and evaluate the status quo of their research after a few years since its original publication.
