ICGSE 2011 – Review process complete

Posted

by


Being a program chair of a premier conference in someone’s area of research is a privilege but with huge amount of responsibility and work; but the amount of effort and work required to complete the reviewing process of ICGSE 2011 were unusual. However, I am very delighted that we completed the reviewing process on time despite a few reviewers sending last minutes apologies :-( There were 251 reviews on 87 submissions. Each paper was reviewed by three reviewers except a few papers. This year we have accepted 26 papers out of 87 submissions – approximately 30% acceptance rate. We have accepted 17 out of 57 research papers, 7 out of 26 industry papers and 2 out of 6 education papers.

We are grateful to a lot of colleagues for their continuous support and advice; the program committee members not only provided timely reviews, most of the reviews were quite detailed, but also actively participated in the discussions on papers with conflicting reviews. Apart from Christian and myself, Casper (GC) also reviewed several papers that needed extra reviews and/or difficult decisions. We are fully confident that ICGSE 2011 would have a very high quality technical program this year. You can view the accepted papers below:
