Dear colleague, please consider participating in GTSE 2014 by submitting full or position paper
GTSE 2014 - Call for Papers 3rd Semat Workshop on General Theories of Software Engineering http://semat.org/?page_id=1061 2014, Hyderabad, India In conjunction with the Intl. Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2014)
Most academic disciplines emphasize the importance of their general theories. Examples of general theories include the Big Bang theory, Maxwell’s equations, the theory of the cell, the theory of evolution, and the theory of demand and supply. Among the general theories are also found theories with names such as the general theory of crime and the theory of marriage, both well-established within their respective fields. Few general theories of software engineering have, however, been proposed, and none have achieved significant recognition. The main consequence of a lack of theory is a craft, limited to problem solving by trial-and-error and rules-of-thumb. Its knowledge base can only be used for rudimentary predictions. This, in turn, means that innovations only can be tested in vivo, which may be both expensive and painful. The long list of well-known software failures is a testament to the tradition of trial-and-error. Theory - a system of rules that mimics the real worl! d cheaply and without pain - addresses this problem. A general theory of software engineering would ideally advise against costly error before trials are initiated.
This workshop, organized by the SEMAT initiative, aims to provide a forum for discussing the concept of general theories of software engineering. The topics considered include proposed general theories as well as papers on the benefits, the desired qualities, the core components and the form of such theories. The workshop follows GTSE 2012, held in November 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden, and GTSE 2013, held in May 2013 in conjunction with the ICSE 2013 in San Francisco.
To allow submissions of both developed research and of early ideas, GTSE solicits two categories of papers: 12-page research papers and 4-page position papers. All papers will be published in the ACM and IEEE Digital Libraries. The papers must follow ICSE formatting guidelines:http://2013.icse-conferences.org/content/submission-guidelines, and they should be submitted to the workshop's EasyChair site:https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gtse2014.
Papers from GTSE 2013 were invited to a special GTSE issue in the Science of Computer Programming journal. We aim to organize a special issue also for GTSE 2014.
Important Dates Paper submission deadline: January 31, 2014 Paper acceptance notification: February 24, 2014 Camera-ready accepted paper deadline: March 14, 2014 Workshop: June 2, 2014
