Dear Members of the ASE community: Just a reminder that the submission deadline for WEASELTech'07 (Workshop on Empirical Assessment of Software Engineering Languages and Technologies), to held at ASE in Atlanta, Georgia, November 5th, 2007 is August 31st, just over 2 weeks from now.
Background: ---------- Software-engineering research often involves new languages, notations, tools, and methods that a human designer or analyst will use to improve productivity, quality, etc. This First Workshop on Empirical Assessment of Software Engineering Languages and Technologies (WEASELTech'07) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to share their experiences in evaluating SE tools, methods, or artifacts. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Case studies that apply a software-engineering tool or method to a realistically sized problem, * Controlled experiments that compare tools or methods with respect to some software-development task, * The usability of modeling languages and notations with respect to some task, * Empirical studies that attempt to gauge the practical utility of automated verification tools. We seek contributions in one of three categories: 1. Industrial case studies that apply some tool or technique to a practical problem, accompanied by a discussion of lessons learned. 2. Experience reports that describe the findings of a pilot study or of a controlled experiment that suggests a trend or that yields valuable lessons for future studies. 3. Brief position papers that propose a solution to some difficult aspect of empirical assessment, e.g., methods for archiving experimental data to enable replication, frameworks for meta-analysis, etc. Industrial case studies may be up to 8 pages in length, 6 pages for experience reports of controlled experiments, and 2 pages for position papers. Submissions should be sent by e-mail to the workshop organizers: Eileen Kraemer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Jonathan Maletic([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Submissions should include "WEASELTech" in the subject line and should state whether the paper is to be reviewed as a case study, an experience report, or a position paper. See the WEASELTech'07 home page at: http://www.cse.msu.edu/ase2007/workshops/WEASELTech07/welcome.html for further details. best regards, Eileen Kraemer & Jonathan Maletic Organizers, WEASELTech'07 _________________________________________________________________________________ mozart-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.mozart-oz.org/mailman/listinfo/mozart-users
