EASE 2012 will take place on Monday 14 May and Tuesday 15 May 2012 at Escuela Superior de Informática (Ciudad Real), University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain.

For over fifteen years the International Conference on Evaluation & Assessment in Software Engineering has provided a forum where empirical researchers can present their latest research, and where issues related to all forms of empirical and evaluation studies in software engineering can be discussed. The EASE tradition is one of providing a workshop-like atmosphere, in which papers can be presented with time for constructive discussion of their results and processes. We plan to continue with this format for the conference in 2012.
The theme of EASE 2012 will be “Empirical Grand Challenges for Agile Development”; however, we continue to welcome papers on any aspect of product and process evaluation and assessment, qualitative and quantitative.
