ACM FSE Conference Publication Assistant
Guides software engineering researchers through paper framing, evidence validation, and submission strategy for the ACM FSE flagship conference.
The ACM FSE Conference Publication Assistant skill is a specialized venue-fit and submission strategy tool designed for academic researchers targeting the ACM International Conference on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE). It evaluates manuscript readiness across core SE topics—including program analysis, automated testing, empirical software engineering, and AI for SE—by assessing method novelty, empirical evidence, artifact reproducibility, and desk-reject risks. By systematically checking compliance against official reviewer expectations and differentiating FSE requirements from sibling venues like ICSE, ASE, and ISSTA, this skill helps authors craft competitive conference narratives and avoid common pitfalls.
