icsme-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a software-engineering project belongs at IEEE ICSME (maintenance, evolution, reverse engineering, program comprehension, technical debt, refactoring, mining software repositories) or should be routed to ICSE, FSE, ASE, ISSTA, MSR, SANER, SCAM, or an SE journal (TSE/EMSE), and when to use ICSME's Journal-First, Registered Reports, or RENE tracks instead of the research track.

When to use

• deciding if a project belongs at IEEE ICSME
• routing projects to ICSE, FSE, ASE, ISSTA, MSR, SANER, SCAM, or SE journals
• choosing between ICSME Journal-First, Registered Reports, or RENE tracks
• evaluating if a paper's centre of gravity is a maintenance-or-evolution problem
• applying lifecycle and re-label tests for borderline venue decisions
• scanning recent ICSME programs for subarea relevance
• comparing ICSME deadlines with other venue dates

When not to use

• greenfield synthesis techniques
• novel type systems
• pure ML models
• general SE techniques not specifically focused on maintenance
