Publications

A list of top cited conferences/journals in research on software systems and engineering (Source: Google Scholar)

In software engineering research, IEEE TSE, Elsevier EMSE and ACM TOSEM are considered the top three journals, followed by reputed journals like ELSEVIER IST, JSS, etc. Among the conferences ICSE, FSE, and ASE are considered the top three core A* conferences, followed by reputed conferences like MSR, SANER, ICSME, etc. IEEE Software, which publishes articles in a magazine format, is considered as a top journal due to its high impact and visibility. Similar to the machine learning community, in software engineering community, top-tier conferences are considered as prestigious as the top-tier journals.

In my papers, the order of author names is based on the extent of contribution (following IEEE author policy). In the following, students whom I officially supervised are marked with double star (**) and the students whom I mentored are marked with a single star (*).
