[SEWORLD] Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Metrics @ ICSE 010

CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Metrics WETSoM @ ICSE 2010 May 4, 2010 - Cape Town, South Africa http://www.rcost.unisannio.it/wetsom2010 Important Dates Paper submission: January 10, 2010 Author notification: January 30, 2010 Publication-ready version: February 20, 2010 Workshop date: May 4, 2010 About WETSoM The Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Metrics aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners to discuss the progress of software metrics. The motivation for this workshop is the low impact that software metrics has on current software development. The goals of this workshop are to critically examine the evidence for the effectiveness of existing metrics and to identify new directions for development of software metrics. We are particularly interested in the use of new theories, such as complex network theory, on which to base metrics. The topics of interest in the discussion include: - new software metrics to assess quality and effort; - complex network theory and its application to software structure and growth; - micro-patterns and other code-style related metrics; - metrics for agile products, processes and teams; - measuring information exchange among developers using social networks analysis; - dynamic tracking of software projects using metrics; - software architecture metrics, including SOA; - measuring software success using Web-based metrics; - measuring documentation, Web sites and other information related to projects; - metrics-based quality prediction. We are soliciting contributions in the form of regular papers (8 pages) and short vision papers or practical experiences (4 pages). All papers should be in the ACM SIG Proceedings format, as required for ICSE (see www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedingstemplates). Papers must be original and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors must clearly explain their position, in reference to the issues raised in this Call. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the program committee and the organizing committee for quality and relevance. Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings and published in the ICSE companion proceedings. Each submission must include an abstract and a list of keywords. Papers must be submitted electronically through CyberChairPro.
