HUMAN 2022: The 1st Workshop on Advances in Human-Centric Experiments in Software Engineering
https://human-conf.github.io/human22/
Co-located with SANER conference, Honolulu, Hawaii, March 18, 2022
Call for Papers
The 1st Workshop on Advances in Human-Centric Experiments in Software Engineering aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in any field of Software Engineering, but with high interest in human-centric experiments, in particular, empirical evaluation of tools, processes and models which involves human participants. While much attention in the software engineering community is properly directed towards other aspects of systems development and evolution, it is the humans who will ultimately use the systems, and the proposed tools and methods. Hence, the use of appropriate methodologies to perform human-centric experiments remains a pressing concern. The workshop will strive to involve researchers and practitioners from fields other than computer science who have in-depth methodological knowledge about the applicable techniques, such as psychology and social sciences, thus providing an opportunity to share ideas and experiences among these communities.
The topics of the submissions should be of direct interest to software engineering, and in particular, analysis, evolution, and (re)engineering communities. Topics of interest include aspects listed for the main conference, but additional topics are welcome too. In particular:
- Software Analysis, Parsing, and Fact Extraction
- Software Reverse Engineering and Reengineering
- Program Comprehension
- Software Evolution Analysis
- Software Architecture Recovery and Reverse Architecting
- Program Transformation and Refactoring
- Mining Software Repositories and Software Analytics
- Software Visualization
- Software Reconstruction and Migration
- Software Maintenance and Evolution
- Program Repair
- Software Release Engineering, Continuous Integration and Delivery
- Education related to all the above topics
- Software design or engineering philosophies, practices, and tools
- Adapting tools or processes to accommodate a range of organizational and cultural situations
- Managerial or organizational aspects focused on people and their interactions
- Teamwork, collaboration, or cooperation in or across various development teams and methodologies
- Community-based software development (e.g., Open Source, crowdsourcing, etc.)
- Stakeholder participation within and across phases
- Processes and tools to support communication, collaboration, and cooperation among stakeholders
Submitted papers should fit into one of the following categories
Empirical Papers
Empirical utilization or evaluation of theoretical or practical tools, methodologies, techniques of humanities to address software engineering-related problems and research issues. We encourage researchers to submit parts of their already presented works about the successful application of humanities-related methodologies. Negative results are also welcomed.
Methodological Papers
Adaptation of theoretical or practical frameworks, mindsets, methodologies of humanities in the context of software engineering-related problems and research issues. Submissions may contain a methodological description of the possible application of humanities-related methods without any empirical evaluation yet.
Submissions and Formatting
All submissions must come in PDF format and conform, at time of submission, to the IEEE Conference Proceedings Formatting Guidelines (title in 24pt font and full text in 10pt font, LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran} without including the compsoc or compsocconf option. Also, papers must comply with the IEEE Policy on Authorship.
All submissions must be in English. Submissions should not exceed 8 pages including references, figures and appendices, and should be uploaded electronically in PDF format via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=human22. Submissions that do not adhere to these limits or that violate the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected without review.
HUMAN 2022 will employ a double-blind review process. Thus, no submission may reveal its authors’ identities. The authors must make every effort to honor the double-blind review process. In particular, the authors’ names must be omitted from the submission, and references to their prior work should be in the third person. If you have any questions or wonder whether your submission is in scope, please do not hesitate to contact the organizers.
Special Issue
Authors of selected papers accepted at HUMAN 2022 will be invited to submit revised, extended versions of their manuscripts for a special issue of Journal of Software: Evolution and Process (JSEP), edited by Wiley. We will post additional details about this call in the future.
