Call for Papers

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from software quality and AI. As an outcome, we would like to build up a community that will target the new challenges emerging in both domains creating fruitful synergies.

• Best practices and experiences on training non software engineering experts on quality assurance for AI.
• Software quality aspect related to integration of AI-based components.
• The relationship between software quality and system as well as data quality for AI-based systems.
• Techniques and tools on software quality for AI.
• Testing AI-based systems.

Call for submission

You are invited to submit

• A research or experience full paper with 8 pages max. Papers describing the challenges, starting results, vision papers, or the experience papers from or in cooperation with the practitioners are encouraged.
• A short research or experience paper with 4 pages max. Paper describing initial research results for which there is not yet a complete evaluation.
• Position paper with 2 pages. Paper describing how software quality and AI research and practice will look at least ten years from now.

The paper submissions will follow the full double-blind review process as recommended by the SANER organizer committee. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three PC members and will be assessed for their pertinence to the workshop theme, for the quality of the writing and for the level of interest that the expressed position could raise in the community.

Evaluation Criteria

• Relevance: Submission must respond to Call for Papers.
• Novelty: Is there sufficient originality in the contribution, and is it clearly and correctly explained with respect to the state of the art?
• Soundness: Are all claimed contributions supported by the rigorous application of appropriate research methods? Claims should be scoped to what can be supported, and limitations should be discussed.
• Significance: Are contributions evaluated for their importance and impact with respect to the existing body of knowledge? The authors are expected to explicitly argue for the relevance and usefulness of the research and discuss the novelty of the claimed contributions through a comparison with pertinent related work.
• Replicability: Is there sufficient information in the paper for the results to be independently replicated? The evaluation of submissions will take into account the extent to which sufficient information is available to support the full or partial independent replication of the claimed findings.
• Presentation Quality: Are results clearly presented? Submissions are expected to meet high standards of presentation, including adequate use of the English language, absence of major ambiguity, clearly readable figures and tables, and respect of the formatting instructions.

Submission format

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.
