In conjunction with the 45th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2023)

The International Workshop on Software Vulnerability Management (SVM) invites academia, industry, and governmental entities to submit original research papers and demos (hands-on or videos) concerning the advances and practices of software vulnerability management from both technical and socio-technical perspectives.

The suggested topics include but are not limited to:
- Requirements engineering for SVM
- Techniques and practices of threat modeling (including mixed-methods)
- Methodology and processes for SVM
- Static/dynamic analysis tools for SVM
- AI-driven techniques for SVM (AI4SVM)
- SVM for AI-based systems (SVM4AI)
- Socio-technical aspects of SVM
- Human-AI collaboration for SVM
- Empirical study of SVM tools and/or practices (including mixed-methods)
- SVM in software development lifecycle
- SVM in software supply chain security
- Mining software repositories for SVM
- Datasets for SVM
- Data quality for SVM analytics
- Software infrastructures for SVM
- SVM for infrastructure-as-code and/or virtualised infrastructures
- SVM for DevOps
- SVM for emerging software systems (e.g., blockchain, virtual, augmented, mixed reality, and quantum systems)

**SUBMISSION TYPES**

The SVM workshop welcomes two types of submissions:

- FULL PAPERS: up to eight pages, including references. These full papers are expected to describe original contributions to research and/or practice for SVM. We also welcome experience or industrial reports. Although these papers can include work-in-progress work, the authors must outline a clear plan moving forward. The accepted papers will be allocated 10 to 15 minutes for presentation.

- SHORT PAPERS: up to four pages, including references. These short papers are expected to present emerging ideas papers or visions for the SVM field, or new datasets and tools for SVM that can be accompanied by either hands-on or recorded demos. The papers that are overly focused on the advertisement of a product or service, rather than discussing interesting findings and insights gained from the use of a product or operation of a service, are heavily discouraged. The accepted short papers will be allocated 4 to 7 minutes for presentation.

**HOW TO SUBMIT**

We adopt the guidelines of ICSE 2023 paper submission for the SVM workshop. Specifically, submissions must conform to the IEEE conference proceedings template, specified in the IEEE Conference Proceedings Formatting Guidelines (title in 24pt font and full text in 10pt type, LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran} without including the compsoc or compsocconf options).

When submitting to the workshop, authors acknowledge that they conform to the authorship policy of the ACM, and the authorship policy of the IEEE. Authors are strongly encouraged to share the artifacts (e.g., data, code, and models) in the submissions, whenever possible, as per the Open Science Policy of ICSE 2023.

The submissions need to be made to HotCRP at https://svmconf2023.hotcrp.com/
