2. The ICSE 2021 Program Committee •159 program committee members •Selected to have right mix of expertise for expected set of papers •Representative for software engineering research community • North America / Europe / Asia / Other: 40/30/20/10 % • Academia / industry: 90/10 % • Male / female: 60/40 % • Mix of experienced PC members and first-timers •Gratefully used SIGSOFT (self) nominations •Accepted in 2019 to serve on PC – unaware of COVID-19 THANK YOU!!
3. New: Seven Key Areas and their Subtopics
4. Area Chairs Help to scale ICSE and oversee reviewing process • AI and software engineering: Dongmei Zhang (Microsoft Research) • Testing and analysis: Anders Møller (Aarhus University) • Empirical software engineering: Tom Zimmermann (Microsoft Research) • Software evolution: Lori Pollock (University of Delaware) • Social aspects of software engineering: Daniela Damian (University of Victoria) • Requirements, modeling and design: Zhi Jin (Peking University) • Dependability: Eric Bodden (Paderborn University)
5. 615 Submitted Papers! •Around 2,000 authors •Submitted in spring / summer 2020 -- in time of COVID-19 •Program committee accepted 138 papers – highest ever •Acceptance rate of 22.4% -- compared to 21% of past 3 years THANK YOU!!
6. Papers can be in multiple areas Percentages of papers with at least one topic in given area.
7. Review Process •Week 1-2 Bidding, desk rejects, assignments to reviewers •Week 3-9 Review writing •Week 9 Check on review quality, expertise, and author questions •Week 10-11 Review improvement, extra reviews, replacements •Week 12 Author response period •Week 13-15 Reviewer discussions and consensus building •Week 16 Chairs finalize decisions and meta-reviews 1800 reviews, 550 meta-reviews, 10,000 comments
8. Reviewer Process – 10 eyes per paper •Each paper received 3 reviews •For each paper a 4th PC member served as moderator • Guide discussion to consensus • Write meta-review •For each paper one area chair oversaw the process • Consistency across papers • Guide difficult discussion • Ensure decision is made
