New Zealand's Software Engineering community is particularly honoured to host the Asia-Pacific Software Engineering community especially since almost all our Universities have software engineering researchers on their academic staff who all contribute regularly at the primary venues such as ICSE, TSE, ASE, FSE, SPLASH, MODELS, and, of course at regional venues such as APSEC.en2016-07-0210.1109/APSEC.2016.00885018468356
