FASE (pronounced like "phase"), the Forum for Advancing Software engineering Education, was started in 1991 by members of the software engineering education community in order to have a electronic forum for the dissemination and discussion of events related ...

This paper reports on the First International Workshop on Automated Program Analysis, Testing and Verification (WAPATV) held in Limerick on the 4th-5th June 2000, as part of the International Conference on Software Engineering 2000. We begin by ...

A workshop was held at ICSE 2000 in Limerick, Ireland to further efforts in the development of a standard exchange format (SEF) for data extracted from and about source code. WoSEF (Workshop on Standard Exchange Format) brought together people with ...

Reverse engineering systems hold great promise in aiding developers regain control over long-lived software projects whose architecture has been allowed to "drift". However, it is well known that these systems have relative strengths and weaknesses, and ...

The Datrix team within Bell Canada has been offering its source code analysis tools to the research community for a number of years. These tools perform a number of analyses that revolve around a central model (Datrix-ASG) developed by the Datrix team, ...

This paper gives a brief bibliographical overview of exchange formats and related research areas. We classify exchange formats and try to give a brief assessment of the more interesting ones.

In early June of 2000 a COTS Workshop entitled "Continuing Collaborations for Successful COTS Development" was held in Limerick, Ireland in conjunction with ICSE 2000. The purpose of the workshop was to collect experience reports regarding the use of ...

More and more software applications are being developed to allow users to access data and communicate information. The parts of such applications dedicated to supporting user interactions is increasingly important and requires novel methods and ...

The series of workshops on Web Engineering started in 1998 with the World Wide Web Conference WWW7 in Brisbane, Australia, and has continued with WWW8 (Toronto, 1999) and WWW9 (Amsterdam, 2000). The first such workshop with the International Conference ...

Separation of concerns has been central to software engineering for decades, yet its many advantages are still not fully realized. A key reason is that traditional modularization mechanisms do not allow simultaneous decomposition according to multiple ...

Who are software engineers? Answering this question properly, by defining the profession clearly and counting practitioners accurately, will help all software engineers. Practitioners will better understand the career paths that are available. Managers ...
