CALL FOR PAPERS: QAOOSE'2002 6TH ECOOP WORKSHOP ON QUANTITATIVES APPROACHES IN OBJECT-ORIENTED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
http://alarcos.inf-cr.uclm.es/qaoose2002 June 11, 2002 Málaga (Spain)
The QAOOSE'2002 workshop is a direct continuation of five successful workshops, held at previous editions of ECOOP in Budapest (2001), Cannes (2000), Lisbon (1999), Brussels (1998) and Aarhus (1995). The QAOOSE series of workshops has attracted participants from both academia and industry that are involved / interested in the application of quantitative methods in object oriented software engineering research and practice.
List of Topics
Submissions are invited, but not limited, to the following topics, organized in four areas:
Area C (Metrics Collection)
· Automatic support for sharing research hypotheses, data and results (*)
· Standards for the collection, comparison and validation of metrics
· Embedding metrics in OO CASE tools
· Evaluation of OO metrics collection tools
· Metrics collection in the development process (measurement planning)
· Public repositories for measurement data
Area A (Quality Assessment)
· Measuring non-functional requirements of OO systems (*)
· Measurement and quality assessment of components (*)
· Metrics-based design heuristics
· OO quality characteristics assessment
· Quantitative impact analysis in OO architectures
· Measurement and quality assessment of OO analysis/design patterns and frameworks
· Measurement and quality assessment of dynamic OO models
· Measurement and quality assessment of UML models
· Measurement and quality assessment of OR and OO database schemata
Area V (Metrics Validation)
· Meta-metrics
· Formal and Empirical validation of OO metrics
· OO metrics and Measurement Theory
· Validation techniques and their limits
· Standard data sets for metrics validation
· The limits of quality estimation techniques
Area P (Process Management)
· Reliability and rework effort estimates based on design measures
· OO reuse evaluation
· Resource estimation models for OO projects (*)
· Quantitative tracking of OO development activities
· Empirical studies on the use of OO measures for process management
· Measurement support in a CBSE life cycle
We explicitly solicit position papers related to topics marked with an asterisk (*) as well as papers that document and/or motivate the use of quantitative methods in industrial OO software processes.
During the workshop there will be some sessions for presenting position papers and a plenary ?working? session for summarizing, evaluating and assembling the new research results and for identifying future research opportunities. We especially encourage the submission of new ideas, even if not supported by validated research.
Springer-Verlag will publish the ECOOP'2002 Workshop Reader as a LNCS volume.
