Top Software Engineering Conference Highlights Latest Research and Practical Applications

2021 ACM ESEC/FSE Conference to Be Held Virtually from August 23-27

New York, NY, August 17, 2021 – The ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (ESEC/FSE) will be held virtually this year from August 23-27. ESEC/FSE is an internationally renowned forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in the field of software engineering. ESEC/FSE brings together experts from academia and industry to exchange the latest research results and trends, as well as their practical application in all areas of software engineering.

Software engineering powers the global economy, and its central importance was only heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic, with software applications making possible the explosive growth in e-work, e-school and e-commerce applications. Beyond the "everything digital" phenomenon, the software field is being rapidly transformed by other trends, such as no code/low code platforms that allow almost anyone to develop software with graphical interfaces instead of traditional coding, the growth of cloud services, and the adoption of advanced technologies such as machine learning and hybrid architecture.

The ESEC/FSE program includes talks on recent innovations in software engineering; industry best practices; software engineering of the future; workshops; tool demonstrations; and a Student Research Competition.
