<p align="center">GTSE 2013<br>
2nd Semat Workshop on a General Theory of Software Engineering<br>
Sunday May 26, 2013, San Francisco, USA<br>
In conjunction with<br>
ACM/IEEE Intl. Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2013)<br>
</p>
<div align="left">
<p>Software engineering is becoming more and more mature as an
academic discipline. Its fundamental concepts are better
identified and defined and its underlying methods are better
understood. Despite this, few software engineering theories have
been proposed, and none of them have achieved significant
recognition so far.</p>
<p>GTSE 2013 aims at providing a forum for discussing the concept
of a general theory in software engineering. The goal is to
launch a scientific process of proposing, generating,
criticizing and testing general theories of software
engineering, and thereby, lead the software engineering
discipline towards a more mature theoretical state. The workshop
solicits submissions in the following non-exclusive topics (for
brief introduction see <a title="Introduction to GTSE"
href="http://semat.org/?page_id=632">here</a>):</p>
<ul>
<li>How can a general theory of software engineering be of
practical use?</li>
<li>What are the objectives of such a theory?</li>
<li>What questions should it address?</li>
<li>What is a useful definition of theory?</li>
<li>How foundational/universal should a general theory of
software engineering be?</li>
<li>What should its main concepts be? Should it be expressed
formally? If formalized, what is a suitable language?</li>
</ul>
<p>To allow submissions of both developed research and of early
ideas, GTSE 2013 solicits two categories of papers: (1) 10-page
research papers and (2) 4-page position papers. All accepted
papers will be published in the ACM / IEEE CS Digital Library .
They must follow ICSE formatting guidelines: <a
title="http://2013.icse-conferences.org/content/submission-guidelines"
href="http://2013.icse-conferences.org/content/submission-guidelines"
target="_blank">http://2013.icse-conferences.org/content/submission-guidelines</a>,
and they should be submitted to the workshop’s EasyChair site: <span
style="text-decoration: underline;"><a
title="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gtse2013"
href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gtse2013">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gtse2013</a></span> .
When submitting the paper, please indicate in the subtitle to
which of the categories you are submitting (<em>short</em> position
paper versus <em>long </em>research papers).</p>
