Yleistä
The focus of this seminar is in contemporary topics of empirical software engineering research and practice. The seminar work can be based on literature, but applying empirical software engineering methods for investigating and reporting experiences or practices in software companies or other development organisations is highly encouraged (in this case, suitable literature is still needed to show related work and methods). For literature-based topics, a topic and papers that have appeared in recent conferences or journals can be taken as a starting point. For example, the following are good sources for topics:
- ESEM 2016,
- ESEM 2015,
- Information and Software Technology journal,
- Journal of Systems and Software,
- Empirical Software Engineering journal Online First Articles, and
- the Master’s thesis topic list of the UH Empirical Software Engineering Research group.
Topics on relevant research methods are of interest and can often be found in papers in the above fora.
Kurssin suorittaminen
The seminar will be organised close to the format of a scientific software engineering conference with peer-review practice. The course uses the conference acronym ESES2016.
Each participant writes a scientific paper (at least in the form and style) and submits it to the "conference" of the course. The paper will be peer-reviewed by course staff and other seminar participants. In addition, everyone presents the paper as in a conference.
The course will use the EasyChair conference management system (conference address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eses2016) in which paper, reviews and revised paper will be returned. Details on accessing and using the system will be given in the seminar sessions.
The paper will be formatted using IEEE conference template, which can be found from http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. A suitable length of a seminar paper in this format is 6-10 pages.
Grading
The grade for the seminar is given based on the written paper (40%), reviews given to other students and activity in the course (30%) and presentation (30%).
