Introduction

The ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement (ESEM) is the premier conference for presenting research results related to empirical software engineering. These include results on:

  • empirical methods as well as the design and analysis of empirical studies, ranging from controlled experiments to case studies and from quantitative to qualitative studies;

  • the strengths and weaknesses of software engineering technologies and methods from a strong empirical viewpoint, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed studies; and

  • the systematic use of data and measurement to understand, evaluate, and model software engineering phenomena.

ESEM provides a stimulating forum where researchers and practitioners can present and discuss recent research results on a wide range of topics, in addition to exchanging ideas, experiences and challenging problems. The 11th edition of ESEM 2017 conference will be held in Toronto, Canada from November 9th to 10th, 2017
