2nd Workshop on Natural Language Processing Advancements for Software Engineering

NLPaSE 2021


Co-located with the 28th Asia Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC 2021)

06 December 2021, Taipei, Taiwan (VIRTUAL)

NLPaSE Goals

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has played an important role in automating the various software engineering processes (e.g., requirements analysis, requirements elicitation, identifying design artefacts, test automation, maintenance, etc.). The need for automation in the Software Engineering domain pushed the use of various techniques for reducing the effort and cost-cutting where ever possible. The automation is not only limited to software development it reaches to the automobile, embedded systems, and others. Specifically, the requirements are volatile in nature and it requires a huge amount of effort in assessing their quality and so on. NLP and its advancements have brought a lot of changes in analyzing the software artefacts and processing the information.

The main goal of the NLPaSE workshop is to bring out the existing techniques, their limitations, and discussions which may result in future collaborations and advancements. We also aim to set up NLPaSE as a regular meetup event at APSEC future editions starting from this year. Another important goal is to identify the areas where NLP was applied (limitation, challenges), can be applied (possible directions), and bring out the researchers/industry practitioners in a platform to interact, share their experiences and collaborate.

We look forward to your contribution and participation in NLPaSE 2021.

The proceedings of NLPaSE 2021 are online at https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/conhome/9719592/proceeding

Due to the concerns over the participants' health and safety and the travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Workshop and APSEC 2021 organizing committee decided to hold the NLPaSE 2021 totally online.

NLPaSE 2020 workshop will be run using the MicroSoft teams. Please register for participation (see APSEC 2021 #registration) guideline.
