ESEM Steering Committee
The ESEM Steering Committee is responsible for constituting and guiding each edition of ESEM, the International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement and for establishing and evaluating practices that are binding upon the organizers of each conference for the continued technical and financial success of ESEM.
The steering committee is composed by the General Chairs from the past two years (because of the bi-annual ACM/IEEE sponsorship), the present and the two years in future, the Program CoChairs from the last, present and future ESEM symposium. In addition the committee has a nomintated secretary (typically fro five years). The steering committee is headed by the past year conference general chair. The change in the committee happens as soon as the future people are included (typically after the present ESEM).
The table below lists the current ESEM Steering Committee members.
