International Conference on Software and Systems Process 2023 (ICSSP 17)

In recent years, society has adopted innovative software and systems technologies rapidly. These technologies include, for example, various forms of AI; big data and data science; blockchain and distributed ledgers; augmented, virtual, and extended reality; low-code/no-code platforms; and even quantum computing. The new technologies have had increasingly widespread, but uncertain, impacts. By their novel nature, these new technologies and applications demand new approaches to software and systems development. Moreover, the novelty and uncertainty surrounding these technologies and applications require new and more effective approaches and processes to assure correctness, understandability, predictability, responsibility, security, ethics and other vital qualities of our software and systems.

At the same time, many of these new technologies may have applications within the software life cycle. Consequently, the question naturally arises, can we put technologies such as AI, blockchain, low code, and big data, to work in improving our ability to develop, manage, and apply new software and systems applications? Indeed, we can even ask whether it will become essential to do so.

ICSSP 2023 focuses on software and systems processes for and with these new technologies. In addition, it concentrates on incorporating these new technologies into new modes of working in software and systems development for business, government, society, and the environment. ICSSP 2023 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to share their research findings, experiences, and new ideas on diverse topics related to software and system processes. For 2023, the theme of the conference is: “Software and System Processes for and with Emerging Technologies.” Our goal is to advance both the state of the research and the state of the practice by applying innovative ideas from different fields of research to the future of software and system engineering processes.

The Call for Submissions is available. Registration and attendance will be managed through the ICSE 2023 website. As ICSSP 2023 is operating under the auspices of ICSE 2023, ICSSP 2023 has adopted the ICSE 2023 Code of Conduct and Diversity and Inclusion Plan.
