Introduction
UCLouvain is a comprehensive university offering, in the context of the present position, the opportunity of cross-disciplinary research and teaching collaborations. The position is attached to the Louvain School of Engineering and the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, Electronics and Applied Mathematics that offer opportunities for diverse and stimulating teaching as well as an environment to carry out ambitious research. The Louvain-la-Neuve site offers a unique modern living environment inside a naturally preserved neighbourhood, conveniently located to the heart of Europe. The Charleroi site offers a quality environment in higher education, at the heart of a region in full economic development, centred on new technologies.
Description of the mission
Teaching
The successful candidate will be involved in the implementation and teaching of a new bachelor's degree in computer science being created on the site of Charleroi, as well as in teaching in the computer science degrees at Louvain-la-Neuve, in particular the bachelor of computer science, the master in computer science engineering and the master in computer science. Bachelor level courses are taught mainly in French, master level courses exclusively in English.
Research
The successful candidate will develop his or her research activities in the main research domains in computer science at the ICTEAM institute, thus facilitating his or her integration within the existing team:
• Software Systems and Networks
• Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Software Engineering and Programming Systems
Experience in application areas such as medicine or life sciences will be considered an asset.
Nevertheless, this list should not be considered exhaustive; the position remains open to candidates with strong skills in other areas of computer science as well.
Specific qualifications
The involvement in the creation of a new bachelor’s degree in computer science should be seen by the candidate as a unique opportunity to increase the visibility and development of computing in Belgium and the city of Charleroi in particular.
Given the involvement in the creation and teaching of the bachelor’s degree in computer science in Charleroi, knowledge of the French language, spoken and written, is essential.

SoHeal 2020: 3rd International Workshop on Software Health
1-day Workshop, May 25, 2020 (Monday)
Seoul, South Korea - co-located with ICSE 2020
https://soheal.github.io/https://twitter.com/iw_soheal
IMPORTANT DATES
- Submission deadline: January 22, 2020
- Notification of acceptance: February 25, 2020
- Camera Ready for accepted position papers: March 16, 2020
- Workshop: May 25, 2020
As can be witnessed by recent initiatives such as the Linux
Foundation's CHAOSS project (https://chaoss.community/) on community
health analytics, and the SECO-ASSIST (https://secoassist.github.io/)
research project realized the need for a socio-technical perspective
concerning software health. SoHeal aims to enable and promote
collaboration between academia and industry, unifying the views on
software health of researchers and practitioners. The workshop's goals
are to: (1) raise awareness of practitioners' problems with software
health; (2) familiarize practitioners with the progress made by
academia; and (3) connect the two communities to further advance the
body of knowledge and state of the practice on software health.
Software Health can vary depending on the viewpoint of the involved
stakeholders: process factors, technical factors concerning the source
code and related software artefacts, social factors concerning the
communities of software contributors and users, and business factors
concerning commercial aspects of the software product. Software health
encompasses many development and evolution attributes, including
success, longevity, growth, resilience, survival, diversity, and
sustainability. Topics for contributions on software health include but are not limited to:
- technical health issues (e.g., library updates, breaking changes,
vulnerabilities);
- social health aspects (e.g., sustainability, onboarding,
collaboration, coordination);
- empirical qualitative and/or quantitative studies on software health;
- theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches to measure,
assess, and monitor software health at the individual, team,
organizational, or community level of granularity;
- prediction and/or recommendation models to forecast software
ecosystems issues or improve their health;
- dashboards and tools to analyse and visualise health-related factors;
- evolution of software ecosystems and their health;
- experiences with developing and/or relying on software ecosystems in
industry, open-source or the public sector
- studies concerning the legal, process, or business aspects.
CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS:
We invite talk proposal contributions of up to 2 pages (including
figures, tables, and references) reporting on practitioners or
industrial experience. Proposals need to be submitted through HotCRP
(https://soheal2020.hotcrp.com/) and will be peer-reviewed, on the
basis of an abstract of the talk and the author's biography. All
accepted proposals will be presented during the workshop.
CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS
We invite position papers of up to 8 pages (including figures, tables,
and references), to be submitted through HotCRP
(https://soheal2020.hotcrp.com/). All submissions will peer-reviewed.
Formatting instructions are available at
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template for both LaTeX
and Word users. LaTeX users must use the provided acmart.cls and
ACM-Reference-Format.bs without modification, enable the conference
format in the preamble of the document (i.e.,
\documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}), and use the ACM reference
format for the bibliography (i.e.,
\bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}). The review option adds line
numbers, thereby allowing referees to refer to specific lines in their
comments.
All accepted contributions will be presented during the workshop, but
only position papers will be included in the proceedings. The official
publication date of the workshop proceedings is the date the
proceedings are made available in the ACM Library. This date may be up
to two weeks prior to the first day of ICSE 2020. The official
publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related
to published work. All submissions should provide unpublished and
original work that has not been previously accepted for publication
nor concurrently submitted for review in another workshop, conference,
journal or book. If the submission is accepted, at least one author
must attend the workshop and present the paper in order to include the
paper in the proceedings.
