Call For Papers |
|
The 2nd edition of the workshop on Empirical Studies for Quantum Software Engineering (E-QSE), co-located with EASE 2025 (rank A - CORE 2023), aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss empirical research on quantum software engineering. We expect that the workshop will help with:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Evaluation Criteria and Submission
The workshop will consider two different types of submissions: regular papers, and short papers.
- Regular papers will be up to 10 pages and will report original empirical research quantum software engineering;
- Short papers will be up to 5 pages and will discuss visions, novel ideas, and experience reports on quantum software engineering.
All accepted papers will be part of the EASE 2025 proceedings under the copyright of the ACM digital library.
In adherence to the main conference guidelines, our workshop will follow a comprehensive paper revision process.
All papers will be subjected to a thorough peer review process, with a focus on originality, quality, soundness, and relevance. The workshop will use a double-blind review process, with three members of the program committee reviewing each submitted paper.
Our review process will be following the same criteria of the main conference, namely:
- Soundness: The extent to which the paper’s contributions and/or innovations address its research questions and are supported by rigorous application of appropriate research methods;
- Significance: The extent to which the paper’s contributions can impact the field of software engineering and under which assumptions (if any);
- Novelty: The extent to which the contributions are sufficiently original with respect to the state-of-the-art;
- Verifiability and Transparency: The extent to which the paper includes sufficient information to understand how an innovation works; how data was obtained, analyzed, and interpreted; and how the paper supports independent verification or replication of the paper’s claimed contributions;
- Presentation: The extent to which the paper’s quality of writing meets the high standards of EASE, including clear descriptions, adequate use of the English language, absence of significant ambiguity, clearly readable figures and tables, and adherence to the formatting instructions provided above.
How to Submit
All papers must be submitted in PDF format through EasyChair. Page limit will be 10 for regular submissions and 5 for short papers, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices.
All submissions should use the official ACM Primary Article Template (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Deviating from the ACM formatting instructions may lead to a desk rejection.
Authors must comply with the SIGSOFT Open Science Policy, https://github.com/acmsigsoft/open-science-policies/blob/master/sigsoft-open-science-policies.md (i.e., to archive data and artifacts in a permanent repository—e.g., Zenodo, not GitHub—to the extent ethically and practically possible, and include links in a Data Availability section in their manuscripts).
E-QSE 2025 will employ a double-anonymous review process. Do not include author names or affiliations in submissions. All references to the author’s prior work should be in the third person. Any online supplements, replication packages, etc., referred to in the work should also be anonymized. Advice for sharing supplements anonymously can be found here https://ineed.coffee/post/how-to-disclose-data-for-double-blind-review-and-make-it-archived-open-data-upon-acceptance.
By submitting to E-QSE, authors agree to the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism, Misrepresentation, and Falsification https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism-overview. Papers submitted to EASE must not be published or under review elsewhere. The Program Chairs may use plagiarism detection software under contract to the ACM. If the research involves human participants/subjects, the authors must adhere to the ACM Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/research-involving-human-participants-and-subjects.
