CIbSE is the leading research forum on Software Engineering (SE) in
Ibero-America. The primary objective of this conference is to promote
high-quality scientific research in Ibero-American countries and,
thus, support the researchers in this community in publishing and
discussing their work. Also, the conference fosters collaboration and
cross-fertilization among academics, students, and practitioners from
industry.

CIbSE 2022 will be held in Cordoba, Argentina. In this edition of the
conference, the three traditional tracks (Software Engineering,
Requirements Engineering, and Empirical Software Engineering) are
going to be merged into a single main track. CIbSE 2022 will include
keynotes from influential researchers of the Software Engineering
community and will be held in conjunction with three satellite
events: a Doctoral Symposium, the 5th edition of the Advanced
Ibero-American School on Software Engineering (EIbAIS), and Industry
Talks. The Doctoral Symposium is organized to discuss work in
progress of PhD theses related to the general area of Software
Engineering. EIbAIS combines lectures and tutorials on the current
trends in Software Engineering by renowned speakers. The Industry
Talks aim at approximating academics and practitioners from the local
community to discuss state-of-the-practice Software Engineering
topics.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 Application of artificial intelligence to software engineering
 Continuous software engineering practices (e.g., agile development
and DevOps)
 Empirical software engineering
 Formal methods applied to software engineering
 Human and social aspects of software engineering
 Mining software repositories and software analytics
 Model-driven software engineering
 Requirements engineering
 Search-based software engineering
 Software architecture
 Software dependability
 Software economics
 Software ecosystems and systems-of-systems
 Software engineering education and training
 Software engineering for emerging application domains (e.g.,
artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, cloud computing,
cyber-physical systems, IoT, and quantum computing)
 Software engineering in industry
 Software maintenance and evolution
 Software metrics and measurement
 Software process
 Software product lines
 Software quality and quality models
 Software reuse
 Software testing
 Technical debt management

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

We invite authors to submit high-quality research papers describing
significant, original, and not previously published results on
Software Engineering, in any of the official CIbSE languages:
English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The following paper categories are
welcome.

** Technical papers ** (not exceeding 15 pages): papers describing
innovative research in the topics of the conference. Papers in this
submission category should describe a novel contribution to the
topics and should carefully support claims of novelty with citations
to the relevant literature.

Technical papers will be evaluated by originality, soundness,
relevance, importance of contribution, strength of validation,
quality of presentation, and appropriate comparison to related work.
In case a submission builds upon the previous work of the author(s),
the novelty of the new contribution must be described clearly
concerning the previous work. Technical papers need to discuss openly
how the results were validated.

**Emerging Ideas papers** (not exceeding 8 pages): papers describing
new, non-conventional approaches that depart from standard practice,
on the topics of the conference. They are intended to describe clear
research ideas that are at an early stage of the investigation.

Emerging ideas papers will be assessed primarily on their level of
originality and potential for impact on the field regarding promoting
innovative thinking. Hence, inadequacies in the state-of-the-art and
the pertinence, correctness, and impact of the idea must be described
precisely. While the idea that is described does not need to be fully
validated, a presentation of preliminary results that provide initial
insights into the feasibility and the impact of the idea is expected.

Any paper that is not in the scope of the conference, does not follow
the formatting guidelines, or was submitted or published in any other
forum (conference or journal) will be desk-rejected without review.
All other submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three members
of the Program Committee. The best paper will receive an award
certificate.

SUBMISSION

All papers must be submitted through EasyChair
(http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/lt.php?id=Y00PAAMLAQYAAEVTV1EOSVQPU1xX
), using PDF format only. Submissions must be formatted according to
the style of the Brazilian Computing Society for conference papers
(http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/lt.php?id=Y00PAAMLAQYAD0VTV1EOSVQPU1xX
).

The accepted papers will be included in the proceedings made
available online by the Digital Open Library of the Brazilian
Computing Society – SOL
(http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/lt.php?id=Y00PAAMLAQYADkVTV1EOSVQPU1xX
) and Curran Associates
(http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/lt.php?id=Y00PAAMLAQYBB0VTV1EOSVQPU1xX
), and later indexed by DBLP and Scopus.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register by the
camera-ready deadline. One registration corresponds to only one
paper. Some author of each accepted paper must present it in person
or the paper will be excluded from the proceedings. If an author has
more than one accepted paper, it is possible to pay the 50% of the
registration in the second and following co-authored papers.

JOURNAL FIRST

Authors of papers on the topics of interest of the conference and
accepted in Q1 or Q2 JCR journals are invited to present their
research work at CIbSE. This offers an opportunity for the authors to
discuss their work with the community as well as to enrich the
technical program of CIbSE. Presentations of journal-first papers
will be included into CIbSE 2022 main tracks.

The main evaluation criterion to select journal-first papers is the
description of original results that are not extensions of previous
conference papers. In addition, the paper must have been accepted for
publication in the journal no earlier than January 1st, 2021 and must
have not been presented at any other conference as a journal-first
contribution.

At least one author per selected journal first paper must register
and attend the conference to present it.

Authors interested in presenting journal first papers at CIbSE 2022
must submit their proposals in PDF format through EasyChair
(http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/lt.php?id=Y00PAAMLAQYAAEVTV1EOSVQPU1xX
). The following information must be provided: (i) paper title; (ii)
list of authors; (iii) keywords; (iv) journal and information about
its impact factor and its rank; (v) DOI; (vi) abstract, and; (vi) a
short statement on how the work satisfies the criteria above.

DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM

The Doctoral Symposium aims at disseminating research-in-progress
conducted by novice researchers. A board of experts will discuss with
the researchers to suggest new perspectives and improvements to the
PhD theses.

The submitted research can address any of CIbSE 2022 research topics.
We recommend, although it is not compulsory, that the research is at
an intermediate stage (~ 2nd year) so that experts’ suggestions
could be included in the PhD work.

The suggested paper structure is as follows:

 Introduction to the field of research and identification of the main
challenges therein
 Explicit formulation of the research questions and objectives
justifying why they were chosen
 Outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain as well as
the state of existing solutions
 Sketch of the research methodology that is being applied
 Introduction of the proposed solution and the results achieved so
far
 The statement in what aspects the suggested solution is different or
better as compared to existing approaches
 An indication of the outstanding issues and description of the next
steps that are planned
 Provision of a list of references

Doctoral Symposium papers shall be authored by the doctoral candidate
exclusively (thus, the name of the supervisor should not be included).

All papers must be submitted in PDF format through EasyChair
(http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/lt.php?id=Y00PAAMLAQYAAEVTV1EOSVQPU1xX
). Submissions must be written in English, Portuguese, or Spanish.
Moreover, the papers must not exceed eight pages and must be
formatted according to the style of the Brazilian Computing Society
for conference papers
(http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/lt.php?id=Y00PAAMLAQYAD0VTV1EOSVQPU1xX
).

Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of the
conference.

The authors of accepted papers must register by the camera-ready
deadline.
