===== ABOUT A-SPPI =====

The International Workshop on Analytics for Software Product and Process Improvement (A-SPPI) offers a dedicated venue for researchers, practitioners, and educators to discuss advances and applications in software analytics.

Software analytics focuses on extracting actionable insights from the vast amount of data generated throughout the software development lifecycle, including source code, version histories, issue trackers, execution logs, and user interactions. By applying qualitative methods (e.g., thematic analysis), quantitative techniques (e.g., statistical modeling), and AI-driven approaches (e.g., machine learning, deep learning, large language models), this data can be leveraged to support the understanding, assessment, and improvement of software products and processes.

===== TOPICS =====

A-SPPI 2025 encourages contributions from industry, government, and academia on all topics involving analytics for software product and process improvement. These topics include, but are not limited to:

- Analysis of data for understanding and/or enhancing software products and processes, user experience, or decision making in software engineering.
- Application of techniques based on artificial intelligence to software data.
- Approaches, techniques, and tools for mining, analyzing, or visualizing software data.
- Empirical studies involving the mining, analysis, or visualization of software data.
- Teaching and training of skills and competencies for understanding and/or enhancing software products and processes.

===== CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS =====

The workshop welcomes unpublished papers from both academia and industry. The categories of papers welcomed are as follows:

- Full papers (8 to 12 pages) presenting mature or advanced research work.
- Short papers (6 to 8 pages) reporting experience reports or work-in-progress research.
- Position papers (4 to 6 pages) describing ideas, visions, and reflections about the topics of the workshop.
- Panel proposals (1 to 4 pages) discussing hot issues about the topics of the workshop.

Submitted papers must conform to the Springer LNCS author guidelines. The submission web page for all contributions in A-SPPI 2025 is: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=asppi2025. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous single-anonymous peer review process. Accepted papers will be published in a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) proceedings volume.
