The ACM International Conference on the Foundations of Software Engineering

The ACM International Conference on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE) is one of the most influential venues in software engineering research. FSE brings together researchers and practitioners to present advances in software design, analysis, testing, verification, maintenance, and the sociotechnical dimensions of software development. The conference covers both theoretical foundations — formal methods, program analysis, software models — and empirical investigations of how software is built, used, and evolved in practice. FSE is renowned for the breadth and quality of its technical program, which regularly features work that shapes the research and practice of software engineering for years.

Submissions are invited on all aspects of software engineering, including software design and architecture, program analysis and verification, software testing, requirements engineering, software evolution and maintenance, agile and DevOps practices, empirical software engineering, mining software repositories, software security, human aspects of software development, and AI-assisted software engineering. Both research and industry experience papers are welcome.
