Alexandre Bergel, professor at the University of Chile, gave a talk yesterday at the Visualisation Institute of the University of Stuttgart. He presented the application of two innovative visualisation techniques to software engineering data. He closed the talk with a demonstration of a visualisation tool they develop. I believe there
At XP 2016, I also attended the Second International Workshop on Agile Development of Safety-critical Software. Also very interesting workshop with – from my point of view – very timely topics. Very much related to agile and safety is the agile development of hardware which I'm also interested in.
I really enjoyed this years XP conference again. It is a great mix of practitioners and academics and always gives great new ideas. I especially liked the keynote talk of Elisabeth Hendrickson on scaling XP. My sketch notes are below.
The International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) is the best known conference for academic software engineering research. It gets more and more submissions and the PC chairs are trying different things to deal with it. For this year, Willem Visser and Laurie Williams tried a Program Board approach which worked
Mike Godfrey gave a talk at SANER 2016 looking back at the 10 year old paper "Cloning Considered Harmful" Considered Harmful which received the Most Influential Paper award. It definitely has influenced the discussion on cloning emphasising that there are valid reasons to clone. The discussion overall is
A blogged previously about this study when we made it available as a pre-print. Now I'm happy to report that it has passed peer reviews and is published in PeerJ Computer Science. We used solutions to programming problems of Google Code Jam. The solutions to a programming
My sketch notes to Yikun Hun's talk on cross-architecture binary semantics understanding via similar code comparison given at SANER 2016 in Osaka, Japan.
Manischankar Modal gave this interesting talk at SANER 2016 in Osaka, Japan. Here are my sketch notes:
Martin Glinz from the University of Zürich has given an interesting talk on a paper they presented at the RE conference. If you work in a process in which you update "old" requirements, it is difficult to identify which ones. They tried to identify the affected requirements based
Die ersten Keynote auf der SE 2016 in Wien wurde von Willi Hasselbring (Universität Kiel) gehalten. Er hat dabei einen Überblick aus seiner Sicht zum Thema Continuous Software Engineering gegeben. Ich fand den Überblick interessant, aber sogar noch etwas zu eng. Agile Software-Entwicklung kam zum Beispiel nur am Rande
A pre-print of a study on the differences between functionally similar code clones just became available at PeerJ. Please have a look. We are looking forward to comments, feedback and questions here or on the pre-print page. We used solutions to programming problems of Google Code Jam. The
This is from the 3rd Europen STAMP Workshop in Amsterdam. Sven Kraus from ZHAW presented interesting considerations whether STPA tools should be qualified. Below are my sketchnotes.
