Open PhD position on "team interaction in open source software ecosystems”

by Tom MENS

As part of the prestigious Belgian "Excellence of Science" research project SECO-ASSIST (see https://secoassist.github.io) we have an open PhD position at the Software Engineering Lab of the University of Mons (Belgium), conveniently located close to Brussels (Belgium) and Lille (France). The goal of the PhD is to explore new recommendation techniques to attract newcomers and retain contributors in software ecosystems, identifying “toxic” team members, predict future abandonment, and find adequate replacements. The PhD will be supervised by Prof. Dr. Tom Mens, head of the Software Engineering Lab of UMONS http://informatique.umons.ac.be/perso/Mens.Tom/ https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=5RJe8dsAAAAJ The position is available immediately for a period of up to 4 years with the aim to obtain a PhD degree. Candidates should be eligible for starting a PhD in Computer Sciences (they should have a Master or Engineering degree or equivalent) and are expected to complete their PhD during the project period. The candidates should have a clear interest in open source software development. Practical programming experience is required, and (practical) knowledge of statistical analysis is a plus. Motivated students that are currently finishing their second year of Master are encouraged to apply. Candidates should send their detailed CV together with a motivation letter expressing their interest in the project by e-mail to Tom Mens (tom.mens(a)umons.ac.be)

SATToSE 2017 Post-Proceedings are published

by Haidar Osman

Dear all, I'm glad to finally announce that the post-proceedings of SATToSE 2017 are now published (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2070/). Out of seven participants who expressed interest in the post-proceedings, only five came through. Luckily, that was enough to meet the required minimum number of articles in a CEUR volume. Congrats to the authors and good luck to all of you at SATToSE 2018. Cheers, Haidar

CFP: 34th International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME 2018)

by Eleni CONSTANTINOU

ICSME 2018: 34th International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution September 23-29, 2018 Madrid, Spain https://icsme2018.github.io/ https://twitter.com/IEEEICSME CALL FOR PAPERS - RESEARCH TRACK IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME) is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in software maintenance and evolution. We invite high quality submissions describing significant, original, and unpublished results related to but not limited to any of the following software maintenance and evolution topics (in alphabetical order): - Change and defect management - Code cloning and provenance - Concept and feature location - Continuous integration/deployment - Empirical studies of software maintenance and evolution - Evolution of non-code artefacts - Human aspects of software maintenance and evolution - Maintenance and evolution of model-based methods - Maintenance and evolution processes - Maintenance and evolution of mobile apps - Maintenance versus release process - Mining software repositories - Productivity of software engineers - Release engineering - Reverse engineering and re-engineering - Run-time evolution and dynamic configuration - Service oriented and cloud computing - Software and system comprehension - Software migration and renovation - Software quality assessment - Software refactoring and restructuring - Software testing ICSME welcomes innovative ideas that are timely, well presented and evaluated. All submissions must position themselves within the existing literature, describe the relevance of the results to specific software engineering goals, and include a clear motivation and presentation of the work. To establish a consistent set of expectations in the review process, the authors are asked, as part of the online submission process, to identify their papers with one or more of the following categories: - Analytical - Empirical - Technological - Methodological - Perspectives TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS All papers should be full papers, and papers may belong to more than one category. Note that papers from any research area can fall into any of these categories, as the categories are constructed surrounding methodological approaches, not research topics (e.g., one could write an analytical paper on a new analysis technique, an empirical paper that compares a broad range of such techniques, a technological paper that makes an analysis technique practically feasible and available, or a perspectives paper that reviews the state of the art and lays out a roadmap of analysis techniques for the future). IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: Friday, March 30, 2018 Paper submission: Friday, April 6, 2018 Submissions close at 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth, UTC-12) Author notification: Tuesday, June 5, 2018 Camera ready submission: Sunday, July 15, 2018 ******************* OTHER TRACKS ******************* INDUSTRY TRACK (https://icsme2018.github.io/cfp/IndustryTrackCFP.html) The industry track brings together participants from academia and industry in a venue that highlights practical and real-world studies of software maintenance and evolution. This track aims to foster mutually-beneficial links between those engaged in scientific research and practitioners working to improve software maintenance and evolution practices. Experiences from practitioners provide crucial input into future research directions and allow others to learn from successes and failures. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: June 9th, 2018 (Saturday) Paper submission: June 16th, 2018 (Saturday) Author notification: July 6th, 2018 Camera ready submission: July 15th, 2018 Early Bird Registration: July 15th, 2018 TOOL DEMO TRACK (https://icsme2018.github.io/cfp/ToolDemoTrackCFP.html) The ICSME 2018 Tool Demonstration track represents a unique opportunity for practitioners and researchers alike to present and discuss novel software maintenance and evolution tools. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: May 20th, 2018 Paper submission: May 27th, 2018 Author notification: June 24th, 2018 Camera ready submission: July 15th, 2018 Early Bird Registration: July 15th, 2018 DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM (https://icsme2018.github.io/cfp/DoctoralSymposiumCFP.html) The ICSME 2018 doctoral symposium features three tracks - early pre-doctoral, late pre-doctoral, and post-doctoral. Our overall goal is to help the next generation of ICSME researchers form connections and gain advice on their proposed areas of research. Each track will work towards this goal as appropriate for its career preparation stage. The three tracks will meet together for the day to enable multi-level peer mentoring as more senior students and junior researchers reflect on their experiences during their PhD studies. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: Saturday, June 16th, 2018 Author notification: Friday, July 6th, 2018 Camera ready: Sunday, July 15th, 2018
