International Conference on Software Engineering in San Francisco May 18-26, 2013
The International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) will be held in San Francisco in May 2013.
More than 1200 software engineering researchers and practitioners from all over the world will meet in San Francisco from May 18 to
26, 2013 for exchanging latest results, trends, experiences, and challenges in software engineering research and practice. The main
conference is from May 22-24, 2013, complemented by a broad spectrum of pre- and post-conference workshops, tutorials, and other
associated events.
ICSE is the premier software engineering conference and is co-sponsored by the Computer Society of the Institute for Electrical
Engineering (IEEE CS) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The quality and reputation of ICSE publications is
comparable to that of the best journals in the field. ICSE is the oldest, most well-established conference in this area, and the 2013 ICSE
is the 35th offering. The conference is traditionally held in a different location around the world. San Francisco, however, has the notable
honor of being the only city that ICSE has been held in twice (the previous occurrence was in 1976).
The planning for ICSE 2013 was started more than three years ago under the leadership of Prof. David Notkin from University of
Washington’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering, a highly distinguished and respected scholar, educator, and mentor in
the international software engineering community. Sadly, Prof. Notkin recently passed away due to terminal cancer and will not be able
to see the fruits of his labors. But the organization team with whom he had been working closely until his death, will realize his vision of
making ICSE 2013 an extraordinary event offering cutting-edge, high quality content combined with many opportunities to connect and
network across the international software engineering community.
The keynotes for ICSE 2013 are:

Tony DeRose from Pixar Research Group (USA), broadly known in both academia and industry in the field of computer graphics,
with interests in how to make science, technology, math, and engineering more inspiring and relevant for middle and high school
students;

Linda Northrop from the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (USA), a highly-respected researcher with
interests in architecture-centric engineering, software product lines, cyber-physical systems, advanced mobile systems, and ultralarge scale systems; and,

Pamela Samuelson from the University of California, Berkeley (USA) a recognized pioneer in digital copyright law, intellectual
property, cyberlaw, and information policy.
The conference includes tracks for technical research, software engineering education, software engineering in practice , new ideas
and emerging results ; a broad set of workshops and tutorials; as well as demonstrations, posters, social activities, and other engaging
activities for the international software engineering research and academic community.
The ICSE 2013 also has many highly-respected speakers as keynotes in the workshops or conference tracks including: Barry Boehm
(University of Southern California), Lionel Briand (University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg), Dustin Campbell ( Microsoft), Betty Cheng
(Michigan State University), John Clark (University of York, UK), Schahram Dustdar (Technical University of Vienna, Austria), Jerry Gao
(San Jose State University), Martin Griss (Software Engineering Institute), Alan Grosskurth (VMWare) , Mark Harman (University
College London, UK), Rich Hilliard, Philip Levis (Stanford University), Steve McConnell (Construx), Marija Mikic-Rakic (Google), James
Noble (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand) , John O’Duinn (Mozilla), Mary Poppendieck, Dan Russell (Google), Mary Lou
Soffa (University of Virginia), Wei-Tek Tsai (Arizona State University), Alan Wassyng (McMaster University, Canada), Michael Whalen
(University of Minnesota, and Tao Xie (North Carolina State University).
In addition, ICSE 2013 has several collocated events that provide further opportunities for the software engineering community to
exchange research results and best practices. These events address a wide range of topics, including

The 10th working conference on mining software repositories (MSR),

The 26th IEEE-CS conference on software engineering education and training (CSEET),

The 8th international symposium on software engineering for adaptive and self-managing systems (SEAMS),

2013 International conference on software and systems (ICSSP),

2013 IEEE international conference on program comprehension (ICPC), and

Traceability in Emerging Forums of Software Engineering (TEFSE).
Registration is open now (see web page for details).
