CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

 19th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE 2015)
27-29 April, 2015 Nanjing, China
http://emse.nju.edu.cn/ease2015/
=======================================================

For almost two decades, the International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE) has become the premier event of the empirical software engineering and evidence-based software engineering. The EASE 2015 will offer an excellent opportunity to empirical researchers and practitioners to present and/or listen the latest work on evaluation and assessment in Software Engineering and associated opportunities, challenges, and strategies. In 2015, the 19th EASE conference will take place in Nanjing, China. It will be the first time that EASE goes to Asia-Pacific, and the conference is broadening its influence in the community.

Like previous years, EASE 2015 will feature a high quality technical program consisting of two keynote talks, 15 regular papers, 5 Systematic Reviews, 11 short papers, 3 posters and a panel session.
