ICSE, the International Conference on Software Engineering, is the premier software engineering conference where researchers, practitioners and educators gather together to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and issues in the field of software engineering. ICSE 2020, the 42nd instance of the conference series, is coming to Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Seoul has the world’s 4th largest metropolitan economy and is home of the headquarters of global tech companies including Samsung, LG, and Hyundai.
