A Historical Dataset of Software Engineering Conferences

Abstract—The Mining Software Repositories community typ-ically focuses on data from software configuration management tools, mailing lists, and bug tracking repositories to uncover inter-esting and actionable information about the evolution of software systems. However, the techniques employed and the challenges faced when mining are not restricted to these types of repositories. In this paper, we present an atypical dataset of software engi-neering conferences, containing historical data about the accepted papers and the composition of programme committees for eleven well-established conferences. The dataset (published on Github a
