José Campos, LASIGE integrated member, is part of the program committee of the NIER track at SSBSE 2020 which will take place in October, 7-8 in Bari, Italy.

The New Ideas and Emerging Results (NEIR) Track at SSBSE 2020 is a forum to present and get feedback on forward-looking, innovative ideas in the Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) field. This forum provides an opportunity for researchers to present and gather feedback on groundbreaking results, tools under development, experience reports, or position papers. The track provides an opportunity for researchers to introduce ideas that challenge the status-quo in the SBSE community, start a discussion, and receive feedback on new research ideas or results in an early stage of investigation. Early career researchers and PhD students are particularly encouraged to present inspiring research efforts that push the boundaries of SBSE. However, researchers at all levels are invited to submit.
