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.
