CALL
FOR PAPERS
The concept of search has been explored in many fields such as Search-Based Software Engineering and Data Mining (e.g. one way to characterize data mining is a heuristic search though a large space of possible generalizations). That is, there is a strong theoretical connection between the goals of Search-Based SE and data mining. Hence, many papers have explored combinations of data mining and SBSE, using a range of techniques. For example:
The goal of this special issue is to understand the
cost/benefit trade offs in combining Search-based SE
and data mining. There are many questions in this field including (but not
restricted to) the following:
SCOPE
This special issue encourages high quality submissions on all aspects of combing data mining and search-based software engineering. Note that the evaluation section of all such submissions must use at least some software engineering case studies such as (but are not limited to) :
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submission of a manuscript implies that the
work described has not been published before. A submission extended from a
previous conference version has to contain at least 30% new material. Authors
are requested to attach to the submitted paper their previously published
articles and an explanation of the novel contributions made in the journal
version. Papers should be submitted to the special issue through the Editorial
Manager https://www.editorialmanager.com/ause/, selecting the
article type "Special Issue: Search-based Software Engineering and
Predictive Modelling". Formatting templates can be found in the following
