Use when auditing an ASE (IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering) research-track submission for HotCRP readiness, covering the ACM acmart sigconf template and the 10+2 page budget, double-anonymous review, the mandatory Data Availability Statement, the early-rejection stage before rebuttal, and desk-reject triage before the deadline.

ASE Submission
Run this audit before uploading to ase26.hotcrp.com. ASE research papers are published in the
proceedings of the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering, indexed
in both IEEE Xplore and the ACM Digital Library. Every number below was read from the ASE 2026
research-track call on 2026-07-09 via search renderings of the conf.researchr.org URLs (see
resources/official-source-map.md); treat them as a one-cycle snapshot and reopen the live call
first.
Calendar and portal
Portal: HotCRP at ase26.hotcrp.com. NIER, Tools-and-Datasets, and Journal-First each have
their own site/track — do not upload a research paper to the wrong one.
ASE 2026 research dates: submission 26 March 2026, notification 25 May 2026 (Munich,
Oct 12-16 2026). The exact abstract-registration deadline that precedes the full-paper deadline
is 待核实 — confirm it, because a missed abstract registration can forfeit the submission slot.
As of 2026-07-09 the ASE 2026 notification has passed; the next submission target is ASE 2027
(host/dates 待核实). Reverify the whole calendar before acting.
Format and page budget
Template: for ASE 2026, the ACM Primary Article (Proceedings) Template —
\documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart}. Note the ASE nuance: because the conference
is dual IEEE/ACM sponsored, the mandated template has varied across editions (an IEEE
two-column format in some years, ACM acmart sigconf for 2026). Confirm which the current call
requires before you format anything — carrying an old IEEEtran or acmart habit forward is a
classic ASE mistake.
Page budget:10 pages for all content — text, figures, tables, and appendices — plus 2
pages for references only. There is no unlimited appendix inside the paper; anything a reviewer
must read to judge the work lives inside the 10 pages.
Mandatory Data Availability Statement: placed after the Conclusions and inside the
10-page limit. It is not optional and it is not free space — budget for it.
Accepted papers are typically allowed one additional content page for revisions; do not
pre-spend it in the submission.
Double-anonymous sweep
ASE runs double-anonymous review: author names and affiliations are omitted and prior work is
cited in the third person. Automated-SE papers leak identity through their tools more than their
prose, so the surface is wide:
Use when targeting IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE) or deciding whether a computer-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes conference fit, framing, evidence bar, submission-cycle checks, rebuttal posture, and desk-reject risks for automated software engineering.
