Call For Paper

The Annual Conference on Software Analysis, Testing and Evolution (SATE) is organized by Technical Committee of Software Engineering (TCSE), Technical Committee of System Software (TCSS), and Technical Committee of Information System (TCIS) of China Computer Federation (CCF) with the focus on Software Analysis, Software Testing and Evolution. This conference aims at providing a premier forum for software engineering researchers, professional software analysts, testers and developers to present research findings, share practical experience and exchange academic ideas.

SATE 2018 will be co-located with the National Software Application Conference (NASAC 2018) and held in Shenzhen, Guangdong from November 23rd to 24th, 2018. We invite academic researchers and industrial practitioners from software engineering and other related areas to exchange ideas about research and practical issues related to software analysis, testing and evolution, including theoretical research, empirical study, new technology, case study and industrial practice.

SATE 2018 solicits both English and Chinese papers on research and practical issues about software analysis, testing and evolution. Accepted English papers will be published by Springer in the following venue.

• Lecture Notes in Computer Science

Some selected papers will be recommended to the following journals for publication.

• IEEE Transactions on Reliability
• Science China Information Sciences
• Frontier of Computer Science

Accepted Chinese papers will be recommended to reputable Chinese journals for publishing.

SATE 2018 will also include some special sessions, including keynote talks, top conference paper presentation, and panel discussion.
