Congratulations on the acceptance of your paper at ASE 2019!

Please read this page carefully. It contains important information regarding how to register for the conference, request a visa letter, submit the final version of your paper, and make travel arrangements.

Know your unique paper identifier!

Each paper has a unique identifier.

Replace NNN with the original paper number in the submission systems (no leading zeros). The CATEGORY for your track/event is in the following table. Example: For submission 97 in the tool demonstration track, the paper identifier is ase19-demo-97.

Register for the conference.

One of the paper authors must register for the event your paper was accepted at by September 16, 2019. If you do not register on time, your paper may be removed from the program of the event. You also must present the paper at the event in person. One registration can cover multiple papers that you have co-authored.

Student authors are allowed to register at the student rates to satisfy the registration requirement. There is no requirement for students to pay the full conference rate.

The registration is expected to open August 7. Please visit the registration page for more details and the fees.

When you register, please pay special attention to our diversity and inclusion activities.

Travel support. There are several programs by SIGSOFT, SIGAI, and the National Science Foundation (NSF) to help defray costs of attending ASE. Another possibility is to apply as a Student Volunteer. For more information on these programs and the application deadlines, please visit Travel Support page.

Check the visa requirements.

Please check if you need to request a visa to travel to San Diego, USA to attend the conference. For more information on U.S. visas, please visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html/

If you need a visa, please apply for the visa as soon as possible.

You can request a visa support letter during the registration. If requested, visa invitation letters are automatically sent when your registration is paid in full. Authors can request a more detailed letter during the registration that will be send manually within 2-3 days after the registration is paid in full. To avoid delays with visa support letters pay the registration by credit card and do not use wire transfer as they can take a long time. For any questions, please contact aseconf2019@gmail.com.

Travel arrangements

The closest airport to the conference is San Diego International Airport (SAN). From the airport it is a short taxi or rideshare (Uber, Lyft) to the conference venue. The conference will take place at the Hilton San Diego Mission Valley.

The conference room rate at the hotel is $149 per night and includes free Wi-Fi and breakfast.

You may make your reservations online by clicking on this link https://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/personalized/S/SANMVHF-AS2-20191106/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG or by calling 1-800-682-6099 and mentioning you are with group code “AS2.” The cut-off date for the room block is Thursday, October 10, 2019. Make your reservations early in case the room block sells out.

The main advantage is that hotel is the center of conference activity, allowing you quick access to the programs and functions, as well as the ability to network easily with other attendees. Staying at the conference hotel will also increase your chance of social encounters with other attendees.
