Call for Papers
The 1st Workshop on Software Genomics (SWGeno) aims to gather researchers and practitioners to explore genome-inspired approaches for software analysis and governance.
The primary goal of the workshop is to foster interdisciplinary discussions on modeling software as “genomes,” identifying patterns, dependencies, and vulnerabilities, and developing tools and techniques for software engineering, supply chain security, and governance, as well as building a community of experts focused on advancing research in this space, and facilitating future collaboration.
Key topics include, but are not limited to:
Software structure, composition, and patterns.
Defect detection, analysis, and mitigation.
Metrics and analysis tools.
Software optimization and evolution models.
Datasets of software code analysis.
Studies on software genomics.
Software governance and management.
Data-driven software engineering and LLM training by code.
We encourage papers on these topics that look into or utilize finer-grained code semantics to rethink existing software engineering challenges or foresee possible new challenges in the future.
Submissions
Submission link : https://swgeno2025.hotcrp.com/
This workshop accepts both research papers and position papers:
Research papers (8 pages including references) on novel approaches, tools, datasets, or studies.
Position papers (4 pages including references) on novel ideas and positions that have yet to be fully developed.
All papers will be submitted via HotCRP and reviewed in double-blind mode.
All accepted papers by default will appear in the FSE 2025 conference companion proceedings (i.e., the archival option).
Meanwhile, we also provide a non-archival option on the paper submission system (HotCRP) for the authors who prefer to not have their papers in the proceedings.
For the non-archival papers, the camera-ready version will only be posted/advertised on our workshop website (not listed on DBLP).
Please note that no matter which option you choose (archival or non-archival), the submission should be fully original (not accepted/published anywhere else) by the submission time, and at least one author has to register for the workshop and present.
