SATToSE is the Seminar Series on Advanced Techniques & Tools for Software Evolution. Its 15th edition will occur at the University of Salerno's Computer Science department in Fisciano (Salerno, Italy) on June 12-14, 2023. Past editions of SATToSE saw presentations on software visualization techniques, tools for co-evolving various software artifacts, their consistency management, runtime adaptability, context awareness, and empirical results about software evolution. SATToSE will host invited talks, paper presentations, and tutorials, fostering interactions among participants and stimulating lively debates and discussions around the topics of interest of the event. We expect attendees to be active participants and not just passive listeners.

SATToSE aims to gather undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their research, exchange ideas, improve communication skills, and attend and contribute to technology showdowns and hackathons.
This year's SATToSE is co-located with the 16th International Summer School on Software Engineering (ISSSE), organized yearly by the University of Salerno. The summer school features international speakers and will be held June 13-15, 2023. In particular, two days of the program overlap between ISSSE and SATToSE. On such days, invited talks will alternate with SATToSE seminars. Find more information at [https://sesalabunisa.github.io/ISSSE-2023/].

Travel and Accommodation
SATToSE will be held at the University of Salerno's computer science department, located a few kilometers from Salerno at the junction of motorway intersections—more details at https://web.unisa.it/en/home.
The best way to reach the campus from abroad is first to go to Salerno. The nearest International Airport is Naples Capodichino (code NAP). You can take a bus (Alibus) from the airport to the central station in Naples and get off here for connections to Salerno through high-speed and traditional train services.
Frequent buses connect the city to the university. Specifically, lines 7 and 17 arrive at the university from the Salerno train station (Salerno FS). More information on the bus route can be found on the main page of Busitalia.
A dedicated app, QuiBus Campania, is available for Android and iOS and allows rapid individuation of available routes. The app can be downloaded for Android or iOS (Italian language only!).
Salerno is located about 60 km south of Naples and is considered a gateway to the Amalfi Coast. It offers much, from a medieval city center that takes you back to its ancient and prestigious origins to a seafront with modern and avant-garde architecture.
Regarding accommodation, we recommend you use Booking. You can find possible solutions at the following link. Please modify the filters to match your needs.
IMPORTANT. If you are interested, there is a special offer with the Hotel dei Principati in Baronissi. You can book a single room for 72€ and a double room for 79€ (breakfast included). Remember to indicate the code "International Summer School on Software Engineering" during your booking.
