Specification and Verification of Component-Based Systems (SAVCBS)

Date: November 9-10
Description: Component-based systems are a growing concern for the software-engineering community. Specification and reasoning techniques are urgently needed to permit composition of systems from components, and to scale advanced verification techniques, such as static analysis and model checking, to the size of real systems. This workshop addresses how formal (i.e., mathematical) techniques can be or should be used to establish a suitable foundation for the specification and verification of component-based systems. The workshop will consider formalization of both functional and non-functional behavior, such as performance and reliability.

Integrated Support or Integrated Overhead? Infrastructure for Research in Collaborative Software Engineering (iReCoSE)

Date: November 9
Description: Development teams today can choose from a growing number of options for assembling an end-to-end solution for collaborative software engineering. The theme of this workshop is strategies and technologies for minimizing infrastructure overhead to enable a focus on software-engineering research and teaching in the domain of collaborative software engineering. The central activity of the workshop will be sharing experiences in evaluating and using open-source, academic, and commercial choices to conduct research, showcase how choices helped accelerate their work, and identify areas for improvement.

Recommendation Systems for Software Engineering (RSSE)

Date: November 10
Description: Recommendation systems for software engineering are tools that help developers and managers to better cope with the huge amount of information faced in today's software projects. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners with interest and experience in the elaboration and evaluation of concepts, techniques, and tools for providing recommendations to developers and managers involved in software-engineering tasks.

4th International Workshop on Exception Handling (WEH08)

Date: November 14
Description: With exceptions increasingly becoming a pervasive issue on real-life software projects, it is no longer acceptable to consider exception handling only as an implementation matter. Software developers are facing a number of software-engineering challenges towards the effective specification, design, testing, and evolution of exception handling strategies. The workshop is the first initiative to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the multi-faceted research issues on exception handling from a software-engineering perspective.

Intersections of Software Componentization and Global Software Development

Date: November 14
Description: Implicit in adoption of SOA and other frameworks is the assumption that these architectural principles enable a better division of labor between software development teams that must coordinate across organizational, geographical, and cultural boundaries. The approach seems promising, but it may require the presence of additional supporting mechanisms such as process, governance, measurements, knowledge management, awareness, collaboration, testing, change management and requirements. The goal of this workshop is to bring together both researchers and practitioners who are exploring problems that lie at the intersection of these two areas to identify the core challenges and examine approaches for improving the current state of the art.
