EAQSE 18:

First international workshop on

Empirical Answers to Questions of Software Engineering 

 

Villebrumier LASER center, 19-21 November 2018

 

About EAQSE

 

Empirical methods have transformed software engineering. Over the past two
decades, it has become essential to back assertions on methodology,
languages and tools by objective analysis of their effect. Sometimes,
however, the temptation has been to perform empirical studies on problems
that can be studied, because they make it easy to set up an empirical study,
rather than  problems that should be studied, because they are important for
the practice of software development.

 

(For more background see two blog posts starting at http://bit.ly/2F5FKWK.) 

 

The EAQSE workshop focuses precisely on this goal: empirical studies whose
results teach us lessons about what helps, or hinders, the quality of both
software processes and software products.

 

Papers should identify clearly the software engineering questions being
addressed, their practical relevance, the empirical study or studies that
have been performed, and their contribution to answering the questions. 

 

The three-day workshop will include invited talks and presentations of the
accepted papers, and will reserve ample time for discussions. The papers
will be published as post-proceedings, as a volume of the Springer Lecture
Notes in Computer Science.

 

Submissions  will be reviewed by the international program committee. They
should be in LNCS format. To kinds of submission are possible: full paper
and can take the form of either a full paper (up to 15 LNCS pages) or an
extended abstract (2 to 5 pages).
