Most Influential Papers

The Automated Software Engineering Conference Series has a rich history of good contributions to the area of research and development. The ASE Most Influential Papers (MIPs) are a reflection of this history, and an acknowledgment of the authors’ lasting contributions. The ASE MIP Committee originally selected the MIPs from a time frame of 15 +/- 1 years before respective current ASE, but the selection process is now transitioning to a time frame of 10 +/- 1 years, to align with the processes of other software engineering conferences; during the transition period, two to three MIPs are selected.
