WORKSHOP THEME AND GOALS
Privacy and Security (P&S) are multifaceted and complex research areas spanning
across different knowledge domains (e.g., engineering, law, and psychology).
Challenges in P&S cannot be solely addressed from a single discipline as they
often involve human factors, technological artefacts, and regulatory/legal
frameworks. Particularly, the quest for P&S solutions requires in-deep
knowledge and actionable information about its users/stakeholders,
vulnerabilities/flaws, and potential attackers.
Mining Software Repositories (MSR) techniques can support this quest by
providing means to understand the P&S dimensions of information systems, thus
help shaping privacy- and security-friendly software. This workshop aims to
explore the application of MSR at the different stages of P&S engineering.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
- MSR applications for security risk assessment
- MSR applications for privacy requirements engineering
- MSR applications for security vulnerabilities detection
- Engineering PETs through MSR methodologies
- Privacy-Enhancing Technologies through MSR
- MSR-based research for safety/security by design
- Privacy-friendly MSRs (including mixed-methods)
- MSR-based mixed-methods on P&S research
- Privacy requirements in MSR-based research
- Integrating MSRs into P&S research (empirical)
- Analysis of repositories to mine for P&S research
- Tools supporting MSR-based research for P&S
- Datasets used for MSR-based research for P&S
- MSR applications to P&S assurance
SPECIAL TOPICS OF INTEREST
Any paper within the scope of the workshop will be considered. Additionally,
this year we specially welcome submissions elaborating on MSR for the analysis
and extraction of privacy and security anti-patterns–namely, solutions that
demonstrate knowledge of poor development practices.
=============================
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Workshop papers must follow the ESEC/FSE 2022 Format and Submission Guidelines:
https://2022.esec-fse.org/track/fse-2022-how-to-submit
<https://2022.esec-fse.org/track/fse-2022-how-to-submit>
The workshop follows a double-blind peer review process, aligned with
ESEC/FSE’s Double-Blind Review Process' policies. Papers submitted must not
reveal the authors’ identities in any way, omitting the names from the
submission and referring to self-citations in the third person. The only
exception will be dataset and tools papers, which will employ an optional
single-blind review process.
All submitted papers will be reviewed regarding technical quality, relevance,
significance, and clarity by the program committee. All workshop papers should
be submitted electronically in PDF format through the workshop website.
Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings.
PAPER TYPES AND LENGTHS
(I) Regular Papers: up to 8 pages, including references. It must describe
original contributions in research and/or practice. Although they can be
work-in-progress, the authors must present a clear path forward. These will be
given a 15-minute presentation during the workshop.
(II) Short Papers: up to 4 pages, including references. It welcomes position
papers, experience reports, work-in-progress, new trends papers, industrial
reports, datasets and tools. These will be given a 7-minutes presentation
during the workshop.
