********************* Statement concerning LLMs *********************

Recognizing developing issue that affects all academic disciplines, we 
would like to state that, in principle, papers that include text 
generated from a large-scale language model (LLM) are prohibited, unless 
the produced text is used within the experimental part of the work.

*********************************************************************

The IEEE Software Engineering Workshop (SEW) is the oldest Software 
Engineering event in the world, dating back to 1969. The workshop was 
originally run as the NASA Software Engineering Workshop and focused on 
software engineering issues relevant to NASA and the space industry. 
After the 25th edition, it became the NASA/IEEE Software Engineering 
Workshop and expanded its remit to address many more areas of software 
engineering with emphasis on practical issues, industrial experience and 
case studies in addition to traditional technical papers. Since its 31st 
edition, it has been sponsored by IEEE and has continued to broaden its 
areas of interest.

One such extremely hot new area are Cyber-physical Systems (CPS), which 
encompass the investigation of approaches related to the development and 
use of modern software systems interfacing with real world and 
controlling their surroundings. CPS are physical and engineering systems 
closely integrated with their typically networked environment. Modern 
airplanes, automobiles, or medical devices are practically networks of 
computers. Sensors, robots, and intelligent devices are abundant. Human 
life depends on them. CPS systems transform how people interact with the 
physical world just like the Internet transformed how people interact 
with one another.

The joint workshop aims to bring together all those researchers with an 
interest in software engineering, both with CPS and broader focus. 
Traditionally, these workshops attract industrial and government 
practitioners and academics pursuing the advancement of software 
engineering principles, techniques and practices. This joint edition 
will also provide a forum for reporting on past experiences, for 
describing new and emerging results and approaches, and for exchanging 
ideas on best practice and future directions.


Topics

The workshop aims to bring together all those with an interest in 
software engineering. Traditionally, the workshop attracts industrial 
and government practitioners and academics pursuing the advancement of 
software engineering principles, techniques and practice. The workshop 
provides a forum for reporting on past experiences, for describing new 
and emerging results and approaches, and for exchanging ideas on best 
practice and future directions.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

+    Experiments and experience reports
+    Software quality assurance and metrics
+    Formal methods and formal approaches to software development
+    Software engineering processes and process improvement
+    Agile and lean methods
+    Requirements engineering
+    Software architectures
+    Design methodologies
+    Validation and verification
+    Software maintenance, reuse, and legacy systems
+    Agent-based software systems
+    Self-managing systems
+    New approaches to software engineering (e.g., search based software 
engineering)
+    Software engineering issues in cyber-physical systems
+    Real-time software engineering
+    Safety assurance & certification
+    Software security
+    Embedded control systems and networks
+    Software aspects of the Internet of Things
+    Software engineering education, laboratories and pedagogy
+    Software engineering for social media
