icse-related-work
Use when building the related-work and positioning sections of an ICSE research-track paper, covering the literature lanes SE reviewers check, searching ACM DL, IEEE Xplore and dblp across the flagship venues, staying current in fast-moving areas like LLM4SE, and keeping self-citations double-anonymous.

# ICSE Related Work
Positioning at ICSE is scored twice: once under novelty ("sufficiently
original with respect to the state-of-the-art", per the 2027 criteria read
2026-07-08) and once implicitly when the assigned reviewers — likely authors
of the nearest prior work — check whether they and their neighbors are
represented fairly. Cover the lanes below before writing a word of the section.
## The five lanes an SE reviewer sweeps
| Lane | Where it lives | What missing it costs you |
|---|---|---|
| Flagship conference line | ICSE, FSE, ASE, ISSTA proceedings (ACM DL / IEEE Xplore) | The direct-competitor omission — often the reviewer's own paper |
| Journal line | TSE, TOSEM, EMSE | Mature versions of "your" idea; journals often published it first |
