SCOPE AND MOTIVATION
----------------------------

CIbSE (formerly IDEAS) is the leading research forum on Software Engineering in Ibero-America. The main goals of CIbSE are: promoting diffusion of iberoamerican community research results and activities; as well as to stimulate the dialogue and collaboration among scientists, educators, students and software industry.

Building over the experience with 17 successful previous editions, CIbSE 2015 is organized by the Ricardo Palma University to be held in Lima, Peru. The event will include research paper presentations, tutorials, doctoral symposium, workshops, and keynote speeches by renowned iberoamerican researchers.

The conference, in the 2015 version, has been organized around of different thematic lines, which is part of the effort made by the iberoamerican Software Engineering community to consolidate and disseminate the progress made by researchers and industry professionals. We invite contributions for the following tracks:

§ Software Engineering Technologies (*SET'2015*).

§ Requirements Engineering (*WER'2015*).

§ Experimental Software Engineering (*ESELAW'2015*).

In addition, papers for Doctoral Consortium and Industrial Forum, as well as Tutorials, Posters and Demos are part of CIbSE 2015.


SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATION
----------------------------

We invite contributions in the form of papers, tutorials, and doctoral work related to CIbSE's conference themes. Submissions are accepted in Spanish, Portuguese or English.

Long papers should not exceed 14 pages in Springer-Verlag's LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions should be sent via the EasyChair submission system considering a specific track. They will be peer reviewed according to their relevance, originality, technical quality, and adequacy to the conference topics.
