Call for PhD Candidates in the Software Engineering at the University of
Groningen
Within the context of the University PhD Scholarships Programme,
applications are invited for an opening in the Software Engineering and
Architecture Research Group at the University of Groningen in the
Netherlands.
In the Scholarship Programme, selected prospective PhD students are invited
to write their own PhD research proposal in collaboration with an expert
PhD supervisor from the University of Groningen with whom they want to
work. As a PhD scholarship student you have the opportunity to let your
curiosity drive your research at the boundaries of knowledge. More details
about the programme are available online. [1]
The Software Engineering and Architecture Research Group carries research
in software engineering with a focus on architecture, evolution analysis,
and intelligent tools for software development. We are interested in
particular in candidates who have a strong background and interest in one
of the following research directions:
- software analysis
- software visualization
- program understanding
- software ecosystem evolution
- accelerating knowledge acquisition
- run-time monitoring of software systems
The University of Groningen, one of the oldest universities in the
Netherlands, is home to a vibrant international student body. The
university constantly ranks in the top 100 universities in the world. The
city of Groningen has an active cultural scene and the university sports
center offers a wide range of athletic activities.
To apply, please send an email, including a short statement of research
interest and CV with at least two references to Dr. Mircea Lungu
m.f.lungu(a)rug.nl by June 30, 2017.

Dear People,
Please note that the deadline for submitting papers
and presentation proposals to the workshop on
ecosystem architectures has been extended to June 14.
The workshop (https://wea.github.io) is this year collocated with
ESEC/FSE. Thus, if you're attending the conference do consider
submitting also to WEA. We'd be excited to see as many SATToSErs
as possible and put the Evolution in Ecosystems!
I attach a visual summary of this announcement just in case
you're more visually inclined :)
Cheers,
M.

Dear all,
Given that this year will be the 10th edition of SATToSE we were thinking of collecting all pictures of all previous events and perhaps doing something fun with it. If you still have such pictures, please add them to the DropBox folder linked below. If you make pictures of the 10th edition in Madrid of course you can add them in the same folder in due time.
Friendly greetings,
Kim Mens
P.S. If you know of people that (should) have such old pictures but are not on this mailing list, feel free to forward them this link.

CALL FOR PAPERS: 11th International Workshop on "Models and Evolution"
Co-located with ACM/IEEE 20th International Conference on Model Driven
Engineering Languages & Systems (MODELS 2017), Austin, Texas, Sept
17-22, 2017
http://www.models-and-evolution.com/
We cordially invite submissions to the 11th International Workshop on
Models and Evolution (ME) held in conjunction with the ACM/IEEE 20th
International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and
Systems (MODELS) at Austin, Texas in September, 2017.
Scope
Software artefacts constantly increase in complexity, variety and
novelty. Environment and business constraints, user requirements and new
insights put additional pressure on their adaptability, availability,
reliability and quality: they continuously need to be up to date. But
evolution issues are critical, complex and costly to manage. They
concern requirements, architecture, design, source code, documentation,
integration or deployment. They also typically affect various kinds of
models (data, behavioral, domain, source code or goal models).
Addressing and managing these varieties of changes is essential. Models
and metamodels, the cornerstone of complex software systems’
abstractions, represent a powerful mean for facing software evolution
challenges by ensuring a more abstract and expressive modeling of
software evolution. They can help and guide software evolution and can
enforce and reduce critical risks and important involved resources. The
workshop puts the focus on Models and Evolution by considering two main
sides: (1) Managing software evolution needs by relying on the
high-level abstraction power of models and metamodels. (2) Managing
model and metamodel evolution needs and the co-evolution of all related
software artefacts by putting attention to their increasing evolution
issues as they become primary artefacts.
ME 2017 will bring together researchers and practitioners to share
experiences in dealing with the various forms of models and evolution.
It combines a strong practical focus with theoretical approaches as
required in any discipline to support engineering practices. ME 2017
targets researchers and practitioners on model-driven engineering to
meet, disseminate and exchange ideas, identify the key issues related to
the problem of models and evolution and explore possible solutions and
future work.
Topics
Contributions are solicited on all aspects of models and evolution, its
foundations, practices and technologies. In particular, we encourage
submissions from both academia and industry about the following
(non-exhaustive) list of topics:
Formalisms, theories, formal approaches, methods and languages for
expressing and understanding model-driven software evolution
Supporting processes and tools for managing model-driven software evolution
(Co-)evolution and (co-)adaptation of models, metamodels and modeling
languages; classification of (co-)evolution scenarios
Conformance checking, inconsistency management, synchronization,
differencing, comparison, impact analysis of evolving models
Transformation techniques for evolving models: restructuring,
refactoring, migration, translation, composition, versioning, etc.
Maintenance and evolution of domain-specific languages
Maintenance and evolution of model transformations
Traceability maintenance, verification, and validation of evolving
models, evolving model transformations, and evolving modeling languages;
runtime models
Analysis of model maintainability
Variability management using models
Model-driven software architecture recovery, reverse architecting,
reconstruction, migration and software release engineering
Model-based and model-related techniques for legacy systems evolution
and systems integration
Reusable evolution solutions and patterns
Evolution issues in new and emerging systems and paradigms (e.g.,
cyber-security, cyber-physical systems, systems of systems, systems
engineering, Internet of Things, cloud computing and its Software,
Platform, Infrastructure (SPI) model, data analytics, big data, social
media, devices and services, mobile applications, open source software,
sustainability and modeling for social good, open architectures,
product-line architectures, software ecosystems, Service-Oriented

Model-driven software evolution regarding energy-awareness and
sustainability
Training, education, and certification around software evolution
State-of-the-art and state-of-practice in software evolution
Empirical studies, industrial needs, experience reports and experiments
in software evolution
Tools and methods supporting all of the above topics
Submission
We solicit papers of the following types:
Research papers (max. 10 pages) providing novel contributions on topics
of the workshop presenting novel ideas, addressing challenging problems,
or making practical contributions.
Position papers (max. 6 pages):
Work in progress papers presenting early work and preliminary research
results of young researchers in topics related to the workshop.
Visionary papers proposing visionary and strategic ideas and/or looking
for collaborations around international projects.
Industrial experience papers reporting about experiences in the area of
models and evolution, novel industrial tools, and positions from
industry about experience and/or case studies about managing or putting
into practice model-driven software evolution solutions are highly
appreciated.
Tool presentations (max. 6 pages) presenting (experience with) tools
(which may be either research prototypes or commercial tools) that are
fully/partially dedicated to supporting the model-based software
evolution and evolution issues encountered in model-based development.
Contributions must be written in English, adhere to the ACM SIGS format,
and be submitted through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=me2017).
All submissions must be original work and must not have been previously
published or being under review elsewhere. For each accepted paper, at
least one of the authors must register for the workshop, participate
fully in the workshop, and present the paper at the workshop. Accepted
workshop papers will be published on CEUR-WS.
