================== CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================
QAOOSE 2008
(12th ECOOP Workshop on Quantitative Approaches on
Object Oriented Software Engineering)
at ECOOP 2008
July 7 or 8, 2008, Paphos, Cyprus
http://ecomodis.uni-mannheim.de/cms/QAOOSE/index.html
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
Measures of software internal attributes have been extensively used to help
software managers, developers, customers, and users to characterize, assess,
and improve the quality of software products. Many software companies have
intensively adopted software measures to increase their understanding of how
(and how much) software internal attributes affect the overall quality of their
software. Estimation models based on software measures have been successfully
used to perform risk analysis and assess maintainability, reusability, and
reliability. Although most known work applies to object-oriented software, it
is also desirable to find measures for related paradigms such as
component-based software (CBS), aspect-oriented development, model-driven
development or web-based software.
TOPICS
Topics include, but are not limited to, the topics of interest below. We
explicitly solicit position papers related to highlighted topics as well as
papers that document and/or motivate the use of quantitative methods in
industrial software processes. These topics were identified as important open
research issues in QAOOSE 2008.
Area C (Metrics Collection and Metric-Based Analysis)
* Metrics for object-oriented systems, component-based systems,
aspect-oriented systems, model-driven design, or web-based systems
* Theories and standards for collection, comparison and validation of metrics
* Evaluation of metrics and tools and their integration in CASE-tools
* Automatic support for collecting metrics, sharing research hypotheses and
results
* Metrics collection in the development process (measurement planning)
* Metric-based visualization
* Metric-based analysis of evolution
* Public repositories for measurement data
Area A (Quality Assessment)
* Measuring non-functional requirements of OO and related systems
* Quantitative design heuristics
* Metric-based reengineering
* Quantitative assessment of design patterns, frameworks, behavioral models,
and database schemata
* Evaluating the ROI of adopting product measurement and quality programs
* Quantitative and qualitative analysis of software repositories
* Quantitative analysis of evolution of software systems
Area P (Process Management)
* Reliability and rework effort estimates based on design measures
* Reuse evaluation
* Resource estimation models for OO and CB software development
* Quantitative tracking of OO, web services, and CBS development activities
* Empirical studies on the use of measures for process management
* Measurement support in a CBD life cycle
PARTICIPANT PROFILE
This workshop will be of interest to researchers in and practitioners of
software quality, object-oriented methodologies, software metrics, reuse,
frameworks, analysis, design, and programming, as well as to anyone interested
in the management of development projects.
PROGRAM PREVIEW
This workshop will provide a forum to discuss the current state of the art and
of the practice in the field of quantitative approaches in object-oriented
software engineering. A blend of researchers and practitioners from academia
and industry is expected to share recent advances in the fieldsuccess or
failure, lessons learnedand seek to identify new fundamental problems arising
in the field and potential solutions. The workshop format will include the
(short) presentations of selected submitted papers and a plenary working
session for summarizing, evaluating, and assembling new research results and
identifying future research opportunities.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Potential attendees must submit a position paper or experience report in
English to the workshop organizers. All submissions must include the authors
names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses. Authors must indicate the area(s)
and/or topic(s) addressed in the submitted paper. Only authors of accepted
submissions will be invited to participate in the workshop. The workshop
organizers will select a subgroup of the accepted submissions for oral
presentations. All accepted submissions will be included in the workshop
proceedings.
FORMAT
Papers must be written in English using Springer LNCS format.
File should be sent in PDF only.
Page limit: 10 pages.
