Table of Contents

Software repositories such as source control systems, archived communications between project personnel, and defect tracking systems are used to help manage the progress of software projects. Software practitioners and researchers are recognizing the benefits of mining this information to support the maintenance of software systems, improve software design/reuse, and empirically validate novel ideas and techniques. Research is now proceeding to uncover the ways in which mining these repositories can help to understand software development and software evolution, to support predictions about software development, and to exploit this knowledge concretely in planning future development.

The goal of this two-day working conference is to advance the science and practice of software engineering via the analysis of data stored in software repositories.

If the image must work well with black & white neither of these two will work very well. Not unelss you tweak the contrast a bit.Problem being with the first it falls within light/medium values and not enough dark values; the opposite is the problem with the second plenty of medium/dark values but no light values.

Topics

Papers may address issues along the general themes, including but not limited to the following:

• Models for social and development processes that occur in large software projects
• Prediction of future software qualities via analysis of software repositories
• Models of software project evolution based on historical repository data
• Prediction, characterization, and classification of software defects based on analysis of software repositories
• Techniques to model reliability and defect occurrences
• Search-based software engineering, including search techniques to assist developers in finding suitable components and code fragments for reuse, and software search engines
• Analysis of change patterns to assist in future development
• Visualization techniques and models of mined data
• Techniques, tools, and interchange formats for capturing new forms of data for storage in software repositories, such as effort data, fine-grain changes, and refactoring
• Approaches, applications, and tools for software repository mining
• Quality aspects and guidelines to ensure quality results in mining
• Meta-models, exchange formats, and infrastructure tools to facilitate the sharing of extracted data and to encourage reuse and repeatability
• Case studies on extracting data from repositories of large long-lived projects
• Methods of integrating mined data from various historical sources

Brilliant as always! Think I'm sntatirg to not like Stacy Francis just because she can't stop crying and Nicole seems to feel compelled to well up every time Stacy starts singing to seem like she has a heart. Man up, Stacy!
