Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
A good first course in SE is becoming very important in the midst of the ICT revolution we find ourselves today. Yet this is one of the most problematic courses for the students. We describe 15 years of researching, designing and teaching a different undergraduate SE course, spanning number of higher education institutions and 1500 students in three departments: Computer Science, Industrial Engineering...
A general theory of software engineering has that there are two logical parts: design and evaluation, D and E, each of which as a theory T.The interesting question is “what is the relationship between these two theories in D and E”.I first delineate a rich variety of theories related to D and E and consider these to be sub-theories critical to understanding the relationships between the theories in...
Semiotic engineering is based upon the semiotic theory of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), which focuses on communication between designers and users. Semiotic engineering tries to improve users' interpretation through meta-communication and emphasizes that designers should play the role of legitimate interlocutors in interactive systems. On the other hand, there is a gap in software engineering...
We explore what can be said about the detailed modelling of problem solving ability via a stochastic semantics of a theory of software problem solving, and end with an invitation to discuss possible experiments that may lead to the practical characterisation of the problem solving ability of software teams.
The Essence framework has been recently defined as a basis for modeling various kinds of software development methods. The framework includes the necessary concepts to instantiate the software development methods. In this way a new method can be better understood, learned and compared with other methods. In practice, it is not straightforward to model a given software development method using the...
