Scope
Aims and Topics
The Objective of the Software Engineering (SE) Track is to provide an open forum for discussing a wide range of experiences and ideas for developing high-quality software applications more effectively and efficiently. The SE track examines both macroscopic and microscopic aspects of in-depth theories, tools, and practices in the field of software engineering. It provides a platform for academic researchers and industry practitioners to seek collaboration opportunities and identify the state-of-the-art technologies, which are vital to the software engineering community.
Topics of Interest
- Architecture, Framework, and Design Patterns
- Requirements Engineering
- Process, Standards, and Project Management
- Software Maintenance and Evolution
- Software Testing and Verification
- Mining Software Repositories
- Quality Assurance and Management
- Verification, Validation, Testing, and Analysis
- Safety, Security, Privacy, and Risk Management
- Dependability and Reliability
- Fault Tolerance and Availability
- Metrics and Measurement
- Formal Methods and Theories
- Aspect-Oriented Software Development and Design
- Component-Based Development and Reuse
- Empirical Studies, Benchmarking, and Industrial Best Practices
- Pervasive, Ubiquitous, Smart Service-Oriented Computing
- Search-based Software Engineering
- Applications and Tools
Important Update on ACM's New Open Access Publishing Model
Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs).
With over 1,800 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors. Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers.
To ease this transition, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026, offering a 65% discount on APCs. The subsidized prices are:

Paper Submission & Selection
Research papers and experience reports related to the above topics are solicited. Submissions must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. Papers should be submitted in the PDF format using the ACM-SAC proceedings format via the EasyChair submission system. Each submission will be reviewed in a double-blind process according to the ACM-SAC Regulations.
Paper selection is based on the originality, technical contribution, presentation quality, and relevance to the SE Track.
We have received numerous inquiries regarding formatting guidelines for Regular, Poster, and SRC submissions. Please refer to the Author Kit below for detailed instructions on how to prepare your manuscript: Author Kit
Paper registration is required. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper.
