ICSE 2025 47th International Conference on Software Engineering
April 27, 2025 - May 3, 2025
ICSE, the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering, is the premier software engineering conference. It will be held April 27-May 3 2025 in Ottawa. Core conference days will be Wednesday April 30 to Friday May 2.
2025 marks the 50th anniversary of ICSE, which was first held in 1975!
ICSE provides a forum where researchers, practitioners, and educators gather together to present and discuss research results, innovations, trends, experiences and issues in the field of software engineering.
This is an ideal opportunity for CIPS members to learn more about the latest trends in software engineering, and to network with 2000 like-minded people from around the world.
ICSE has 10 core tracks, 12 co-located conferences and 32 workshops covering all areas of software development, including AI, robotics, internet of things, blockchain, quantum tech, requirements, IDEs, tools, software analysis, formal methods for system correctness, program comprehension, and much more.
If you want to make a presentation, there are paper deadlines in the coming weeks. If you simply want to attend, the deadline for early registration with a discount will be February 18th: https://conf.researchr.org/attending/icse-2025/registration
