CALL COMPLETE  - AWAIT RESULTS

Industry Practices Presentation Submission : August 1st, 2010 (Updated)

Industry Practices Submission Acceptance Notification : September 2010

The objective of the Industry Practice program is to establish a meaningful dialog among software practitioners and with software engineering researchers on the results (both good and bad), obstacles, and lessons learned associated with applying software development practices in various environments. The Industry Practice presentations will provide accounts of the application of software engineering practices (which may be principles, techniques, tools, methods, processes, testing techniques etc.) to a specific domain or to the development of a significant software system.

We seek submissions of presentations by authors in the software engineering community on industry relevant topics in technology, tools and practices related to software development, reliability, safety, security, availability, and dependability.

Submissions can either be a draft of the presentation or a detailed 1-2 page description of the presentation (submissions lacking details will not be accepted). Typically this will contain:

• a problem definition and its importance
• any potential solution tried to address the problem
• analysis of the results of applying the solution to the problem

We list a few areas that are of current interest as suggestions for Case studies

• Development: Software failure mode analysis, SW defect prediction, use of techniques such as (static analysis, code reviews, unit testing), defect classification and root cause analysis, remedies based on root cause, effectiveness of remedies, reliability of SW produced using various development methodologies like waterfall, agile, extreme etc.
• Metrics: Defect density, different kinds of bugs per KLOC, reliability improvement achieved with different development and test techniques, measured availability, user perception studies
• Testing: Test automation, log file analysis, test platforms, automatic test case generation, code coverage, prioritization and targeting of tests, estimating remaining defects and when to stop testing, HW and SW fault insertion testing, techniques for performance testing,
• Safety and Security: Attack surface measurement, source code or binary static analysis for security, fuzzing tests, Safety considerations and proofs of safe operation.

Review Process The presentations will be reviewed by the Industry Program Committee and the selected authors will have a chance to present a talk (20 to 30 minutes) at the ISSRE 2010 conference. There is no need to write a paper and the authors only need to submit their presentation (PowerPoint or PDF format) for publication in the conference proceedings. The maximum number of slides in the presentation is 20 pages.

Industry Practices Final Presentations due: TBD

Example Topics Please look at some of the examples from past years. These give an idea of the type of contribution that is desired - depth, length, and format. ISSRE 2009 - Industry Program
