We invite MSR researchers and practitioners across multiple disciplines and knowledge backgrounds to submit contributions dealing with the following (or related) topics:
Any paper within the scope of the workshop will be considered. Additionally, this year we especially welcome submissions elaborating on MSR applications for vulnerability management (including identifying, assessing, reporting on, managing, and remediating vulnerabilities) using Generative AI.
Submitted papers must have been neither previously accepted for publication nor concurrently submitted for review in another journal, book, conference, or workshop. All submissions must come in PDF format and conform, at the time of submission, to the IEEE Conference Proceedings Formatting Guidelines: title in 24pt font and full text in 10pt font, LaTEX users must use \textit{$\backslash$documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}} without including the \textit{compsoc} or \textit{compsocconf} option. Also, papers must comply with the IEEE Policy on Authorship. All submissions must be in English. Submissions can be of the following types:
The authors have two options for submitting their papers:
The workshop will follow a double-anonymous peer review process in alignment with SANER's Review Process policies. This means that the papers submitted must not reveal the authors’ identities in any way, omitting the names from the submission and referring to self-citations in the third person.
All submitted papers will be reviewed regarding technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity by the program committee. All workshop papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through the workshop website (IEEE Format, Double Columns). Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings.
Please note that for each accepted paper, at least one author must register at MSR4P&S 2025 and present it. This is mandatory to get the paper published in the proceedings.
