SOFTWARE ENGINEERING IN PRACTICE : Call for Papers

http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/events/icse2009/calls/SEIP/


Software Engineering in Practice is a track at the
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
(ICSE 2009, May 16-24, 2009 http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/events/icse2009)


Call for "Software Engineering in Practice" Papers
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Software Engineering in Practice" Track at ICSE 2009 will be a
two-day track oriented towards reports of applying software
engineering in practice and experience related to application.

We are inviting for this track experience reports from practitioners
on new advances in software engineering methods, practices or tools.

If your team or company has developed new insights, both positive
or negative, into new tools methods or practices in software engineering,
for example in agile methods, service oriented architecture,
concurrency, value-based approaches, and if you think that the lessons
you have learned from experience are valuable for the software
engineering community, please consider contributing to this track.

A contribution should consist of a brief explanation of the method,
practice, or tool in question, a description of the context and
particulars in which you have experience, the results you've achieved,
and the lessons you and your organization have learned relative
to this method, practice or tool, its applicability, its effectiveness, or
insights on how to further improve it.

In particular, the content must be practical and relevant,
and be presented in a well-documented and thorough manner.

We provide here an outline (thanks to Alistair Cockburn for the
bulk of it) of aspects that are relevant for an experience report.
Please use this as a guide in the writing of your paper.

1. Context - provide sufficient background and setting so that the reader
can understand whether the experience will/won't transfer to his/her situation..
2. Goal/assignment - what was supposed to be built or accomplished.
3. How things went at the beginning.
4. What went wrong or was unsatisfactory.
5. How the team changed to repair this.
(6. What went wrong next with that idea.)
(7. How the team changed to repair that.)
8. What happened finally.
9. How you, the author, feel about this now; what you consider was
transferrable to your next situation, or would omit the next time.

We explicitly aim to acquire submissions from both the industrial
practitioners that are able to convey their practical and relevant
approaches in a well-structured and useful way, as well as academics
whose work is relevant to the practitioner.

The track will be a mix of peer-reviewed presentations and invited speakers.

Submission Deadline
-----------------------------
Submission Deadline: Oct. 10, 2008
