The objective of the International Symposium on Empirical Software
Engineering and Measurement (ESEM) is to provide a forum where
researchers and practitioners can report and discuss recent research
results in the area of empirical software engineering and metrics.

This conference encourages the exchange of ideas that help
understand, from an empirical viewpoint, the strengths and weaknesses
of software engineering technologies. The conference focuses on the
processes, design and structure of empirical studies, and the results
of specific studies. These studies may vary from controlled experiments
to field studies and from quantitative to qualitative studies.
