Research Paper Submission

 

Proceedings Publication

Research papers describe innovative and significant work in software process improvement, which is relevant to the software industry. The papers should be readable for a scientific and industrial audience and support claims with appropriately described evidence or references to relevant literature. 18 selected papers will be published in the Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series. CCIS is a spin off from LNCS and the same typing instructions apply as for the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series.

Research papers shall reference previous articles from the thematic workshops, find below the online links to the SPRINGER books of the last 22 years.

Research Paper Topics

Standards and Assessment Models

Introduction to standards and norms with hints about how to understand and apply them. Norms related to product, system, software and services engineering, testing, functional safety, cybersecurity. Norms related to industry branches such as Automotive, medical devices, aerospace.  New norms to be considered.

Emerging and Multidisciplinary Approaches to Software Engineering

Engineering software products requires a vision
of thinking across boundaries for the future
which goes further than what we have so far
conceived. To address these concerns and
establish a strategy that will achieve a broader
vision, researchers seek ways to adopt
techniques from multiple academic disciplines
and draw knowledge from various areas to
design complex software based systems.

Digitilisation of Industry, Infrastructure, and E-Mobility

Industry 4.0 advanced manufacturing, additive layer manufgacturing (3D printing), knowledge engineering, robotics & automation, artificial intelligence, Smart Car, Car to Car communication, sensor clusters, Highly Automated Drive, Fail Safe Concepts, Big Data Processing, Robotic engineering, Electrical Powertrain, Zero Emission,     Smart energy management, New business models,New legislation, Learning vehicles,   sustainability (CO2 reduction), Eco & recycling, Used electronics treatment e.g. battery, bio(circular) economy,  Hydrogen/Fuel Cell vehicles,    E-Mobility service models,  New Life Cycle Models,  Complex Supply Chains, On the air Updates in Complex Systems,   Integration of Virtual Reality,    Best Practices, How to Assess Digitilised Industry, Infrastructure and artificial intelligence,  self driving vehicles?

High Maturity Organisations

There are relatively few High Maturity
companies within the European Union. This calls
for the need of a High Maturity group within the
European Union, where European companies
can assist and help each other to share the
benefits and how to succeed with High Maturity.

 Functional Safety and Cybersecurity

ISO 26262 experiences, IEC 61508 experiences, safety assessments and Automotive SPICE assessments integrated, specific topics (design patterns, SEooC strategies, FTA, diagnostic coverage, FIT, etc.), new norm parts published in 2018, design patterns for functional safety, SOTIF - Safety Of The Intended Functionality (vehicle function receives ASIL). SAE J3061, ISO 27000 cybersecurity norms, experiences with cybersecurity methods (STRIDE, EVITA, etc.). Specific experiences with attack trees, cybersecurity concepts, new system and software architectures and networks. How to create systems addressing both, functional safety and cybersecurity.

Agile and Lean

The Agile Manifesto, lean and agile, best practices in development, improvement projects, business processes. Agile in industry branches such as Automotive, IT services, aerospace, medical devices, and production.

 

Innovations

ISO 560xx Innovation Standard Series – e.g.
Strategic Intelligence Management, Innovation
assessments, experts and AI and GenAI to
analyze problems, big data and find innovation
decisions and solutions, best practices for
innovation.

 

Sustainability and Life Cycle Challenges

The world is changing from having different
separate products and production processes to
an integrated IOT world with fully networked,
automated, connected and AI supported
processes. When you drive a car, maybe in 15
years from now you use the mobile and connect
the IT infrastructure to everything in the life.
How will such a world look like, How will a life
cycle management in this future work?

 

   

 

Review Process

All papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the EuroAsiaSPI² programme committee. Papers will be evaluated according to originality, significance of the contribution, quality of written and graphical presentation, research method applied and appropriateness of comparison to relevant research and literature.

Please also read the submission guidelinesMore...

Journal Publication

EuroSPI² editorial teams will select papers from the book and propose an extended version (50% must be different) to be published in a journal. From 2004 onward EuroSPI² collaborates with WILEY Journal of Software: Evolution and Process (SPI Best Practices),. More cooperations will be announced.

This means that additionally ca. 5  articles will be selected for submission of a minimum 50% extended journal publication. For each journal there will be an extra call. Submission of papers is through the EuroSPI submission process.
