Researcher at Microsoft Research +++ Adjunct Assistant Professor at University of Calgary

Time to get started on your submission to ISSTA 2010. The deadline is soon: February 5 for all paper categories. I am on the program committee for tool demos.

ISSTA is the leading research conference in software testing and analysis, bringing together academics, industrial researchers, and practitioners to exchange new ideas, problems, and experience on how to analyze and test software systems. We solicit submissions in the following categories:

Technical papers (max 11 pages in ACM format), describing original (theoretical or empirical) research, new techniques, or in-depth case studies of testing and analysis methods.

Research demo papers, describing research prototypes that will be demonstrated at dedicated demo sessions during the conference. The format for research demo papers consists of description of technique and tool (max 4 pages in ACM format), demo script (max 1 page), and optional snapshots (max 2 pages).

Doctoral symposium papers (max 4 pages in ACM format), describing ongoing PhD work related to software analysis and testing.

Workshop proposals (max 2 pages in ACM format), making the case for a full-day or half-day workshop to be co-located with ISSTA 2010. The proposal should state the theme and goals of the workshop, its format, each organizer’s background and experience, and a preliminary list of (proposed or confirmed) program committee members.

SUITE is co-located with ICSE next summer in South Africa. SUITE is the 2nd workshop on software search and search-driven development. The workshop is scheduled one day before the MSR conference and does not overlap with RSSE and other related workshops. In the morning submissions will be presented as lightning talks, in the afternoon we’ll form groups to discuss emergent topics identified in the morning. SUITE is intended to become a true workshop, not a mini-conference!

We are looking for 4-page positions papers on software search and search-driven development. Papers my cover human factors as well as software analysis, information retrieval, tool building and also industry/experience reports. For more details, please refer to the attached call for papers. (For comparison, the submissions of last year are available on the SUITE website.)

Submission deadline is January 19; notification February 17.
Workshop date is May 1, 2010.

Social software is built around an “architecture of participation” where user data is aggregated as a side-effect of using Web 2.0 applications. Web 2.0 implies that processes and tools are socially open, and that content can be used in several different contexts. Web 2.0 tools and technologies support interactive information sharing, data interoperability and user centered design. For instance, wikis, blogs, tags and feeds help us organize, manage and categorize content in an informal and collaborative way. One goal of this workshop is to investigate how these technologies can improve software development practices. Some of these technologies have made their way into collaborative software development processes such as Agile and Scrum, and in development platforms such as Rational Team Concert which draw their inspiration from Web 2.0. These processes and environments are just scratching the surface of what can be done by incorporating Web 2.0 approaches and technologies into collaborative software development. This workshop aims to improve our understanding of how Web 2.0, manifested in technologies such as mashups or dashboards, can change the culture of collaborative software development.

Submit papers by January 27, 2010.
