Automated Software Engineering Conference

On-line Bibliography (ASE-OLB)

The original motivation for this on-line bibliography is to serve as a reference for potential contributors to examples of papers that are considered good conference papers. It also contains seminal papers and papers that help define the field.

The ASE conference began as the Knowledge-Based Software Assistant project meeting (KBSA) in 1986. KBSA was funded by the US Air Force Rome Laboratory (then RADC). The meeting became an open conference in 1989, and in 1990 changed names to the Knowledge-Based Software Engineering Conference (KBSE), established a steering committee, an international program committee, and a proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. The conference was still fully funded by Rome Laboratory until 1997, when the conference changed names to Automated Software Engineering (ASE), and became a self-sufficient conference governed by the steering committee and sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society.

Except where noted, all the papers below have been published in either a KBSE or ASE conference, and are copyright IEEE Computer Society Press. Most of the papers listed were candidates for the best paper award, and longer versions of most of them have appeared in special issues of The Journal of Automated Software Engineering.

The proceedings, beginning with ASE-97, are available on-line to subscribers to the IEEE CS Digital Library. Access to the abstracts via the IEEE CS DL is freely available to anyone starting from KBSE-96.
