ESEM 2020 - Call for Papers

The ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement (ESEM) is the premier conference for presenting research results related to empirical software engineering. ESEM provides a stimulating forum where researchers and practitioners can present and discuss recent research results on a wide range of topics, in addition to exchanging ideas, experiences and challenging problems.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemics, the 2020 edition of ESEM will not take place in Bari. However, we will have a proceedings-based conference and we will have ACM proceedings for all tracks. We will also recognize best paper awards. Hence, we will have to wait until 2021 to meet in beautiful Bari.
