The Technical Track is the core of the conference, serving as the premier venue for high-quality, original research in software engineering. We invite submissions describing significant theoretical, empirical, or experimental advances that push the boundaries of the discipline.

Submissions must present unpublished results and make novel contributions to software engineering research.
