26-28 March 2021
LASER Center, Villebrumier
Second international workshop on
Empirical Answers to Questions of Software Engineering
Important note
We realized that Villebrumier workshops really only make sense if they are onsite – the participant interaction experience is a key part. This scheme does not prevent remote participation for a few attendees, but the core event should not take place virtually. So we have postponed all current events until physical meetings become possible again.
If you wish to be considered for invitation please write to the organizers.
Keynote speaker
To be announced soon.
About the workshop
Following the success of EAQSE 2019 in Villebrumier, EAQSE 2021 will again be devoted to the applications empirical methods advancing the state of software engineering.
Over the past two decades, it has become essential to back assertions on methodology, languages and tools by objective analysis of their effect. Sometimes, however, the temptation has been to perform empirical studies on problems that can be studied, because they make it easy to set up an empirical study, rather than problems that should be studied, because they are important for the practice of software development.
The EAQSE workshop focuses precisely on this goal: empirical studies whose results teach us lessons about what helps, or hinders, the quality of both software processes and software products.
The workshop is by invitation only (see below about obtaining an invitation); it is not a conference in the traditional style but is focused on discussion. It will include invited talks and presentations by participants. The intention is to publish a post-workshop proceedings volume, as part of the LASER sub-series of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Participation and submissions
All submissions will be reviewed for conformance to the aims of the workshop, but the actual refereeing process will apply to final contribution submitted after the workshop for publication in the LNCS proceedings. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

Venue
The workshop will be held at the Château de Villebrumier near Toulouse in Southwest France, a conference center devoted to meetings on new technologies. Villebrumier is easily reachable from Toulouse International Airport (40 km) or Montauban train station (15 km, 4 hours from Paris via high-speed trains). Remote participation is also possible.
Registration
The participants will either attend remotely or will be hosted at Villebrumier. As there are a limited number of rooms, single and double rooms will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We offer one convenient package including accommodation and meals.
