CALL FOR PAPERS

Quantum Software Engineering MeetUp (QSE 2025)

February 24th, 2024, Karlsruhe, Co-located with SE25

SCOPE AND TOPICS

Quantum computers can solve certain types of computational problems that go beyond the capabilities of classical computers. Over the last years, we observe remarkable progress in developing quantum hardware that paves the way to mid-scale quantum computers in the near future. To utilize these promising new potentials, we require comprehensive methods and tools for quantum software engineering. This includes concepts being well-established for classical software engineering like appropriate modeling abstractions, programming languages, compiler construction, to testing and analysis techniques and standardized development processes and guidelines. All these aspects are required to effectively and efficiently develop, operationalize and maintain novel quantum algorithms.

The recently accepted DFG priority programme 2514 Quantum Software, Algorithms and Systems Concepts, Methods and Tools for the Quantum Software Stack further pushes this topic on top of the research agenda. In this second edition, we open the workshop to involve the classical software engineering community in shaping the new research area of quantum software engineering as one of the most important an innovative topic in computer science. The goal of the workshop is to define a research roadmap and to foster collaborations between software engineering and quantum computing to create synergies between both disciplines.

TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS

We accept two types of contributions:

• Presentation of already published papers; a short summary (2 pages) will appear in the workshop proceedings.
• Original, previously unpublished, papers (6 – 12 pages) which will appear as full papers in the workshop proceedings.

REVIEWING PROCESS

All submissions will be reviewed by at least three program committee members following a single-blind review process. Submissions of already published papers will be only checked with respect to formal requirements and if the topic is within the scope of the workshop.

IMPORTANT DATES

• Paper Submission: 11 November 2024 (AoE)
• Notification: 28 November 2024 (AoE)
• Final Version: 09 December 2024 (AoE)
• Workshop: 24 February 2025
