  Call for Contributions to
  Software Engineering in Society

  <http://2015.icse-conferences.org/call-dates/call-for-contributions/seis>

  * Goals *

  ICSE 2015 features for the first time the new Track on Software
  Engineering in Society (SEIS).

  SEIS will provide a forum for discussing the role and impact of
  software engineering in a sustainable society that is incrementally
  intertwined with ecological changes, social challenges, economic
  imperatives and technical demands and opportunities.

  * SEIS welcomes *

  - innovative, inspiring, thought-provoking research supported by
  well-motivated scientific intuition; new research directions;
  synergies with other disciplines

  - solid research results; empirical studies; research experimentation
  bridging the gap between models and reality of a sustainable society

  * Scope *

  SEIS 2015 seeks papers challenging the role and impact of the software
  engineering discipline for a sustainable society, along various
  dimensions:

  - environmental sustainability: energy, climate change;
  - social sustainability: for both organizations, individuals and
  citizens, communities;
  - economic sustainability: business and economic aspects of software
  engineering;
  - societal sustainability: software engineering ethics, digital
  divide, software engineering implications of, and contribution to,
  various aspects of our society, recognition and exploitation of
  diversity to benefit software engineering practices;
  - technical sustainability: software that can evolve, adapt to
  changing requirements, adapt to ever-changing society.

  SEIS authors are encouraged to contribute both mature, and novel but
  soundly-motivated research. SEIS especially welcomes multi- and
  interdisciplinary research showcasing how software engineering can
  contribute, and complement, the various sustainability dimensions of
  our society.

  * Evaluation *

  The main criterion for acceptance is the degree to which a paper
  matches the aforementioned track goals and scope, and provides
  innovation to software engineering, emphasizing the 'Sustainability'
  dimension of the track. The SEIS program committee will perform the
  assessment according to the following criteria: originality, relevance
  and soundness of the proposal, appropriate consideration of relevant
  literature, and quality of presentation.

  Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the
  program committee.

  * Presentation at the conference *

  The SEIS sessions will feature a mix of short papers and long papers.

  * How to Submit *

  All papers must conform at the time of submission to the ICSE 2015
  formatting and submission instructions. Short papers must not exceed
  four pages, including all text, references, appendices, and
  figures. Long papers must not exceed 10 pages, including all text,
  references, appendices, and figures. Papers must be submitted
  electronically at the SEIS CyberChair submission site
  , by the
  submission deadline of October 24, 2014 (anywhere on earth).
