About SEED-2022 @ APSEC

6th Software Engineering EDucation Workshop (SEED-2022) aims to provide a unique forum to bring together researchers, educators, students, and practitioners to report on their experiences and their ongoing efforts in meeting the recent demands of remote teaching and learning in Software Engineering.

Sub-Theme-1:Work environment, tools & skills post pandemic

One major post-pandemic change is WFH/WIO hybrid mode. How can SE education adapt and what are the best practices for WFH that is back to the office? Some companies impose a mandatory back in the office or one could be fired. Other companies follow WFH and save so much on office space that WFH becomes the default mode. What are the skills software engineers need? What are the tools we use for remote collaboration and their effectiveness?

Sub-Theme-2: SE education post-pandemic

How can we maintain a high level of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for students and educators in a hybrid or remote study environment? Educators need to keep the long-term benefits in mind during the short-term transitions from online to face-to-face or vice versa. What kind of tools and teaching methods are best suited for making such transitions? How is it possible to track the current learning status of students in online and hybrid learning environments?

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Strategies for curriculum and assessment design in the evolving SE

  • Assessment methods in software engineering

  • Continuing education and on-the-job training of software engineers

  • Experiences outside the classroom concerning Software Engineering Education.

  • Educational research on software engineering

  • Empirical studies describing software engineering education contexts

  • Educational technologies and tools that support software engineering education

  • Use of online sources for software engineering education

  • Paradigms and experiments for making a transition to SE remote learning

  • Case studies or empirical data with lessons learnt or practical guidelines for SE teaching

  • Evaluation of software engineering skills

  • Role of soft skills (communication, collaboration, teamwork, organization, negotiation, conflict management) for software engineers

  • Continuing education of software engineers

  • Certification of software engineers

  • Teaching software engineering skills to multi-disciplinary students

Target Audience

  • Educators teaching SE courses

  • Course and curriculum designers for SE continuing education programs

  • Tool creators for supporting SE teaching programs

  • Practitioners and Trainers from the industry who engage with on-the-job training for software engineers

  • MS/PhD students interested in software engineering education

Important Dates

Submissions Guidelines

Paper submissions : Interested authors would submit papers via the Easychair submission link (SEED-2022).

Papers should not exceed 6 pages, including references in standard CEUR proceedings two-column format.

Submitted papers will be reviewed by a program committee. Review criteria would include the relevance of the paper to the audience, overall quality of the written paper, likely benefit to the participants of the workshop.

The workshop proceedings will be published at CEUR-WS, which is usually indexed by DBLP the world's most comprehensive open bibliographic Computer Science Bibliography, and then by SCOPUS. The Chairs reserve the right to reject submissions (without reviews) that are not in compliance or out of scope for the workshop submissions, detected with plagiarism and exceed the page limit.

Authors of accepted papers have to register for the workshop.
