Software Measurement
Special Session in SEKE 2009
The 21st International Conference on Software Engineering and
Knowledge Engineering
Hyatt Harborside at Logan Int'l Airport, Boston, USA
July 1 - July 3, 2009
(URL: http://www.ksi.edu/seke/seke09.html )
Software measurement has a predominant role in software engineering,
and improving its accuracy is the key to make significant advances in
the field. In a software process, each activity must be estimated
before acted upon, which implies a measurement, no matter to which
level of detail. Measurement is a key aspect to any major
decision-making process in the software life cycle, as it can inform
the involved project stakeholders about their project or processes as
well as products and outcomes. Without a proper quantitative
monitoring & control process, it's quite difficult to optimize and
improve the efficacy and efficiency of the whole organization, as in a
Balanced Scorecard approach.
The aim of this special session is to provide a forum for both
researchers and practitioners to discuss the most recent advances in
software process and product measurement from both a theoretical and a
practical perspective. The special session invites professionals from
universities and industry responsible for, involved in, or interested
in software measurement to present and share new ideas, innovations,
trends, experiences, and concerns in the software measurement.
Possible special session topics include but not limited to:
* Software measures
* Measures associated with specific software development methodologies
(Object Oriented, Aspect-oriented, etc.)
* Model measures
* Early measures
* Conversion between different measures
* Software measurement validation
* Software estimation
* Productivity analysis
* Software measurement programs
* Software measurement economics
* Software benchmarking
* ICT Balanced Scorecards
In particular, the special session targets two types of contributions:
* Research contributions: Case studies, empirical research results,
hypothesized models, and suggestions about how to improve the fit
between measurement processes and those larger software engineering
processes, which use management data.
* Experience contributions: Experiences, practiced solutions and
problem statements in designing and using measurement models as part
of larger processes.
The expected results from the synthesis of these contributions will be:
* Best Practices.
* Identification of open research questions and hypotheses as a basis
for further research.
