SoHeal 2019: 2nd International Workshop on Software Health
Tuesday, May 28, 2019 - Montreal, Canada - co-located with ICSE 2019
[EXTENDED submission deadline for position paper submission: February 8, 2019]
https://soheal.github.io/https://twitter.com/iw_soheal
As can be witnessed by recent initiatives such as the Linux Foundation’s CHAOSS project (https://chaoss.community/) on community health analytics and the SecoHealth (https://secohealth.github.io/) research project on software ecosystem health, the research community and the industry have 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.
Factors impacting 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. Because of this variety, there is no clear definition of what constitutes software health, since it encompasses many different development and evolution attributes, including success, longevity, growth, resilience, survival, diversity, sustainability, etc.
Topics for contributions include but are not limited to:
- social, technical and business aspects of software health
- software health at the individual, team or community level
- software health at the software project or ecosystem level
- open source vs. industrial experiences with software health
- software health definition and modelling
- software health measurement and assessment
- qualitative or quantitative studies about software health
- prediction or recommendation models to predict health issues or improve health
- software health tools and dashboards (e.g. for analytics and visualization)

IEEE Software Theme Issue on
20 Years of Open Source: Impact on Software Engineering Practice
https://publications.computer.org/software-magazine/2018/07/25/20-years-ope…
Submission deadline: April 1st 2019
Publication date: Nov./Dec. 2019
Open Source Software (OSS) has conquered the software world; you can see it
almost everywhere, from Internet infrastructure to mobile phones to the
desktop. But not only that; although many of the OSS practices were seen
with skepticism 20 years ago, many have become mainstream in software
engineering nowadays: from development tools such as git to practices such
as modern code reviews. In the programmer community, OSS has become so
prevalent that some companies now expect potential employees to have an
active GitHub profile which showcases their OSS contributions.
For a phenomenon with as much impact on software development practice as
OSS, it is of crucial importance that we understand what works, what
doesn't, and why. While researchers and practitioners have studied and
discussed about OSS for many years, we still do not have a complete
understanding of it as a whole or of the many aspects that are related to
it. Akin to the famous quote about Wikipedia “The problem with Wikipedia
[read OSS] is that it only works in practice. In theory, it can never
work”, we see OSS impact our lives every day, yet there is only a very
limited number of theories about OSS which can describe, explain or predict
how OSS impacts software engineering practice.
Practitioners can ascertain that OSS is an evolving environment that has
changed much in the last 20 years. Scholars talk of three generations of
OSS: a first one where a community of volunteers led the development
process, a second one where the software industry started to interact with
the community, and a third one where industry consortia are pushing forward
OSS projects with a significant amount of professional (i.e., paid)
developers. And there is an increasing interest in OSS from the perspective
of industrial practitioners, noticeable not only by the paid developers,
but the rising number of previously closed source projects being
open-sourced recently.
The goal of this theme issue of IEEE Software is therefore to share with
software engineering practitioners reports that analyze those OSS products,
processes, practices and tools that have had major influence in software
engineering practice. It is important for the software engineering
community to benefit from the insights of having an overview of the
realities, promises, generalization and pitfalls of OSS.
We refer to Open Source in a wide sense as in IEEE Software’s 2004 article
by Gacek and Arief [1], which augments and contains both the Open Source
Definition by the Open Source Initiative [2] and the Definition of Free
Software by the Free Software Foundation [3].
Topics will include, but not limited to:
* Software development tools and platforms
* Open Source Software products and their adoption
* Economic and business aspects
* Legal aspects
* Quality issues
* Global software development
* Software ecosystems
* Release management
* Social software development
* Sociotechnical points of view
* Software analytics
* Programming languages
* Innersource
* Modern/public code review
* Software heritage
* Diversity
* Good/best practices
Besides seeking regular-length articles, we also seek short experience
reports from practitioners. These reports don’t need to make a research
contribution but should instead present the experiences of practitioners or
tool developers that share their practical insights and experience related
to the topic focusing on challenges faced, solutions attempted, and results
obtained.

Submission Guidelines
Manuscripts must not exceed 3,000 words, including figures and tables,
which count for 250 words each. Submissions in excess of these limits may
be rejected without refereeing. The articles we deem within the theme and
scope will be peer reviewed and are subject to editing for magazine style,
clarity, organization, and space. We reserve the right to edit the title of
all submissions. Be sure to include the name of the theme you’re submitting
for.
Articles should have a practical orientation and be written in a style
accessible to practitioners. Overly complex, purely research-oriented or
theoretical treatments aren’t appropriate. Articles should be novel. IEEE
Software doesn’t republish material published previously in other venues,
including other periodicals and formal conference or workshop proceedings,
whether previous publication was in print or electronic form.
