Goal and Scope
ICSE is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, outcomes, experiences, and challenges in the field of software engineering. We invite submissions of high quality research papers that describe original and unpublished results on any topic of empirical or theoretical software engineering research.We welcome submissions addressing topics across the full spectrum of software engineering, broadly construed. In addressing the question of scope, we seek to be inclusive, provided that your submission addresses issues of concern to software engineering researchers or practitioners (or both).

Topics of interest to ICSE 2018 include (but are certainly not limited to):

- Agile software development - Apps and app store analysis
- Autonomic and (self-)adaptive systems - Cloud computing
