Third Madrilenian Seminar on Empirical Software Engineering

Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Fuenlabrada, Spain. October 31st 2017

Call for Participation

The Third MadSESE research seminar aims to gather researchers and practitioners from Madrid and neighboring regions to meet and to share their interest in the field of empirical software engineering. If you intend to publish in venues and journals such as TSE, JEMSE, ICSE, FSE, ICSME, ESEM, SANER or MSR, you are more than welcome to participate!

Anyone active in the field are invited to submit an abstract (max. one A4 page) of a talk (to be sent before October 18th to grex@gsyc.urjc.es and jj.merchante@alumnos.urjc.es). Based on these extended abstracts, the organization will construct an exciting program. The length of the talks will depend on the number of submissions.

Attendance to MadSESE seminars is free, but registration is required, as we plan to have lunch together. If you are interested in attending, please, send an e-mail to grex@gsyc.urjc.es before October 25th. The Seminar will take place on October 31st.
