ASE Review Process Guide
Navigates the IEEE/ACM ASE conference peer-review pipeline, including early rejection, rebuttals, and criteria-bound revisions.
Guides software engineering researchers through the distinct stages of the IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering (ASE) conference review process. This skill provides strategic guidance on handling double-anonymous reviews on HotCRP, surviving the pre-rebuttal early-rejection gate, formulating effective rebuttal arguments, and addressing criteria-bound revision rounds with precision. It also highlights critical structural differences between ASE, ICSE, FSE (PACMSE), and ISSTA to maximize publication success.
