IEEE ICSME Related Work Positioning
Positions IEEE ICSME paper submissions against software maintenance literature using delta-first contrasts, anonymity audits, and replication framing.
ICSME Related Work is a specialized academic assistant tailored for researchers preparing submissions for the IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME). It guides authors in mapping their contributions across critical software maintenance and evolution lanes—including SANER, MSR, ICPC, SCAM, ICSE, and top journals like TSE and EMSE. The skill emphasizes writing delta-first comparative arguments rather than generic citation lists, ensuring strict double-anonymous compliance for self-citations, and correctly handling replication declarations for the RENE track or extensions of prior workshop papers.
