FSE-20
10-17 November 2012
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
Welcome
Mark your calendars for ACM SIGSOFT 2012 (FSE-20), to be held at the
Embassy Suites
in Cary, North Carolina (Research Triangle Park), USA. Located
in a wooded setting just minutes from the Raleigh-Durham International
Airport and near Duke University, North Carolina State, and the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and over 20 computer-related
industries, this year's venue will provide a convenient, easily accessible
and relaxing environment to present new ideas and share experiences.
We're very pleased to announce that Adam Lally, IBM Senior
Software Engineer on the DeepQA team that developed the Watson system, will
be our keynote speaker.
From the SIGSOFT Chair
As Chair of ACM SIGSOFT, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate
in the 20th annual offering of SIGSOFT's flagship conference, the core of
which is the International Symposium on the Foundations of Software
Engineering. Since its inception in 1993 at Redondo Beach, FSE has served
the software engineering community as a leading venue for dissemination of
the latest ideas and results from the broad range of software engineering
research.
Will Tracz and his team are planning an exciting week of keynotes, technical talks, workshops and other activities, and I sincerely hope you make plans to submit your latest and greatest work to the conference and to engage with other members of the community there. I look forward to meeting you in North Carolina for SIGSOFT 2012!

Paper Evaluation
FSE
is recognized for the strength of its technical program, which is
due to the quality of the submissions it attracts. As in previous
years, we invited high-quality submissions describing significant,
original, and unpublished results of theoretical and experimental
software engineering research.
Researchers advance the state of the art by building on each other's work, and for this reason we particularly encouraged submissions that facilitate reproducibility and follow-up research by making their research artifacts publicly available.
The submission process for FSE 2012 included the option to attach a digital appendix, so that complementary research artifacts could be included and/or described in detail. In addition to Distinguished Paper Awards, the program committee will also recognize efforts to develop research artifacts with a Best Artifact Award.
We received 201 submissions to FSE 2012. This is a record high for the FSE conference. The submissions are currently under review by the program committee. Results will be announced in June.
