fse-related-work

Use when positioning an ESEC/FSE submission against the software-engineering literature across ICSE, FSE, ASE, ISSTA, MSR, and the SE journals (EMSE, TSE, TOSEM), writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog, keeping self-citations double-anonymous, and handling concurrent, preprint, and prior-version overlap.

# FSE Related Work

Use this to audit novelty and eligibility. FSE reviewers are close to the SE literature and expect
to see where your paper sits relative to the nearest prior work — stated as a **delta**, not a
list. Reopen the current call for dual-submission, anonymity, and prior-publication rules before
advising authors.

## Positioning checks

- **Separate the software-engineering novelty from the engineering effort.** What is new: a
  technique, an empirical finding, a validated measurement, a design, or an evidence regime nobody
  had covered?
- **Cover the SE lanes.** FSE reviewers expect the flagship venues and the journals, not just the
  papers nearest your method (see the table). A bibliography missing the obvious sibling work reads
