Automated SE Journal
Companion Site
This journal welcomes papers that describe some automated task where:
- software engineering tasks are being explored (in some non-trivial manner);
- and the activity being automated (or semi-automated) is too complex for manual analysis (given reasonable resource constraints).
For example, a manual requirements engineering method would not be acceptable here. On the other hand, what could be acceptable would be a novel tool (e.g. automatic natural language analysis) that supports that requirements engineering process.
Note that a standard paper in this journal will offer some new automated technique, then report extensive benchmarks of the new method against some prior state-of-the-art.
