Saros @ ICSE (Again!)

Fri, 20 May 2011 08:26:36 +0000

Saros and the Freie Universität Berlin will once again be at the premier venue for software engineering research this year. ICSE 2011 takes place in Hawaii. The organisers are now recognising plug-in development as a legitimate and distinct area of concern in software engineering. If you’re lucky enough to be there yourself, go along to […]

Saros @ ICSE

Fri, 14 May 2010 07:08:24 +0000

ICSE 2010 is over. Those lucky enough to have gone have had their reward of first dibs on the material presented, so now I can present a brief summary of the paper that we in the Software Engineering group at Freie Universität produced for that conference. The paper is both a way of announcing Saros […]

(Not) Going to ICSE

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 10:49:43 +0000

My colleagues and I recently had a paper accepted to the CHASE workshop (Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering) at ICSE 2010. The programme details are now available. ICSE 2010 is in Cape Town, South Africa this year, which makes me all the more sad that I can’t go. The presentation of the paper […]

On the Veracity of Sources

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:48:31 +0000

When I want to learn about something in free/open source software more generally, there are a number of different types of sources to look towards, each one with their own advantages and considerations, and each with an intended audience. So knowing about all of these types of sources serves as a good indicator of where […]

CSMR – Day 3

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 18:16:32 +0000

And so CSMR concludes. Still recovering from the conference dinner (surreally hosted in the Hotel Alcatraz, which used to be a prison — and that’s not a joke). Enjoyed it here, conversed with some really interesting chaps, and one or two personal heroes. Let me wrap up with some bite-sized snippets: Acceptance rate of papers: […]

CSMR – Day 2

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 22:56:13 +0000

CSMR 2009 soldiers on. Today’s keynote was delivered by Tibor Gyimothy which looked at software metrics from the developer’s point of view. He presented the results of a study where developers were surveyed for their opinions on various metrics. The developers were divided based upon such attributes as experience, platform knowledge (Java, C/C++, C#, SQL), […]

CSMR – Day 1

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 22:49:59 +0000

Guten tag. How embarrassing. The weather in Kaiserslautern is bad, I’m an Englishman…. and I don’t have an umbrella. But at least the Fraunhofer IESE Centre is a wonderful environment. Which leads me to quickly express my admiration of the German approach to technical research and development. Briefly, there are four “actors” in their setup: […]

Going to the CSMR Conference

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:29:48 +0000

This year’s European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering is in Kaiserslautern, Germany. I’ll be there, but my fellow researchers in the Centre of Research on Open Source Software won’t because we’ve been accepted to so many different conferences we have to divide ourselves up because it’s the only way we can afford to attend […]
