It is in the scope of the conference, and presents an original work consisting of a query language, and a corresponding retrieval engine. - - CRITERIA - The paper is in the scope of the conference, as defined in the call for ASE 2023 research papers - The paper does not exclusively report a secondary study, e.g., systematic reviews, mapping studies, surveys. - The paper reports completely new research results and/or presents novel contributions that significantly extend and were not previously reported in prior work. As a rough guide, a journal-first paper should have at least 70% new content over and above the content of previous publications. As such, the expectation is that an extension of a full 8-10 page conference or workshop paper would not be deemed a journal-first paper. - The paper has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, journal-first programs of other conferences.
