Knowledge-based architectural adaptation management for self-adaptive systems
Self-adaptive systems continually evaluate and modify their own behavior to meet changing demands. An important element in the construction of architecture-based self-adaptive software is the specification of adaptation policy: this extended abstract presents an overview of work …
The challenges of software engineering education
We discuss the technical skills that a software engineer should possess. We take the viewpoint of a school of engineering and put the software engineer's education in the wider context of engineering education. We stress both the common aspects that crosscut all engineering field…
The value of a usability-supporting architectural pattern in software architecture design: a controlled experiment
Design patterns have been claimed to facilitate modification and improve understanding in software design. A controlled experiment was performed to assess the usefulness of portions of a usability-supporting architectural pattern (USAP) in modifying the design of software archite…
An architects guide to enterprise application integration with J2EE and .NET
Architects are faced with the problem of building enterprise scale information systems, with streamlined, automated internal business processes and web-enabled business functions, all across multiple legacy applications. The underlying architectures for such systems are embodied …
Tool support for just-in-time architecture reconstruction and evaluation: an experience report
The need for software architecture evaluation has drawn considerable attention in recent years. In practice, this is a challenging exercise for two main reasons. First, in deployed projects, software architecture documentation is often not readily available, and may not be a corr…
Introduction to Research Papers
At the heart of the ICSE-2005 program are the 44 research papers selected by the Program Committee (PC) from the 313 submissions to the conference. All submissions were rigorously reviewed by the PC -- each submission received reviews from at least three different PC members. The…
Self-healing web service compositions
SOAs (service oriented architectures) are becoming a new paradigm for flexible coordination between business partners within continuously evolving and heterogeneous environments. In these environments, the set of available services with which to do business changes constantly in …

Software engineering education in the era of outsourcing, distributed development, and open source software: challenges and opportunities
As software development becomes increasingly globally distributed, and more software functions are delegated to common open source software (OSS) and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, practicing software engineers face significant challenges for which current software e…
Teaching human aspects of software engineering
This paper highlights the teaching of human aspects of software engineering, by presenting a course that deals with this topic. Specifically, this paper outlines the course's objective and structure, and, as the CfP asks, suggests two challenges an instructor of software engineer…
Introduction to the experience reports track
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Experience Reports Track of the 27th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE). The objective of the Experience Reports Track is to establish a dialogue between software practitioners and software engineering researcher…
CatchUp!: capturing and replaying refactorings to support API evolution
Library developers who have to evolve a library to accommodate changing requirements often face a dilemma: Either they implement a clean, efficient solution but risk breaking client code, or they maintain compatibility with client code, but pay with increased design complexity an…
Beyond computer science
Computer science is necessary but not sufficient to understand and overcome the problems we face in software engineering. We need to understand not only the properties of the software itself, but also the limitations and competences humans bring to the engineering task. Rather th…
Global software development at siemens: experience from nine projects
We report on the experiences of Siemens Corporation in nine globally-distributed software development projects. These projects represent a range of collaboration models, from co-development to outsourcing of components to outsourcing the software for an entire project. We report …
Moving from a plan driven culture to agile development
Plan driven cultures are characterized by a strong belief in the plannability and predictability of software development projects. The SEI-CMM, software process improvement initiatives, and software metrics programs are some of the hallmarks of this school of thought. The more re…
A B.S. degree in informatics: contextualizing software engineering education
Software engineering (SE) is very different in focus from traditional computer science: it is not just about computers and software, but as much about the context in which they are used. This means we must teach about software and information, development and design, technical an…
Using structural context to recommend source code examples
When coding to a framework, developers often become stuck, unsure of which class to subclass, which objects to instantiate and which methods to call. Example code that demonstrates the use of the framework can help developers make progress on their task. In this paper, we describ…
Experimental context classification: incentives and experience of subjects
There is a need to identify factors that affect the result of empirical studies in software engineering research. It is still the case that seemingly identical replications of controlled experiments result in different conclusions due to the fact that all factors describing the e…
A multiple case study on the impact of pair programming on product quality
Pair programming is a programming technique in which two programmers use one computer to work together on the same task. There is an ongoing debate over the value of pair programming in software development. The current body of knowledge in this area is scattered and unorganized.…
