The Software Engineering Technology and Applications (SETA) symposium is the flagship IEEE symposium on software engineering technologies, and an integral part of the IEEE COMPSAC conference. We encourage submissions on the use of data driven intelligence technologies to support software engineering activities, techniques and tools to cope with technical challenges of intelligent world development and pervasive computing in general. The submissions are expected to be high quality research papers that describe original, unpublished work on any topic related to software engineering technology including but not limited to empirical and theoretical work on intelligent software engineering, conventional software engineering and also work on emerging topics.

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work presenting research and novel computer applications in full-paper format (10 pages, inclusive of figures, tables, appendices, etc). The review and selection process for submissions is designed to identify submissions that break new ground and provide substantial support for their results and conclusions as significant contributions to the field. Submissions will be selected that represent a major advancement in the subject of the symposia. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and to present the paper in person at the conference.

Please note that SETA submissions should also follow policies from the COMPSAC conference (e.g., plagiarism). Simultaneous submission to other publication venues is not permitted except as highlighted at COMPSAC JC/CJ page. Accepted papers may be invited to prestigious journal(s) for extension after consideration from the COMPSAC conference.

Paper Templates

IEEE Paper templates are available in MS Word 2003 and LaTex. All submissions must use US 8.5×11 letter page format.
