Measuring Success: A Seminar on Empirical Studies in Software Engineering
March 4-5, 1999
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Organized by the Software Engineering Group, National Research Council Canada
Industrial Sponsors: Mitel Corporation; Nortel Networks
Applying scientific empirical approaches to software engineering allows
developers to evaluate and improve both software and software engineering
processes. Such approaches may include measuring efficiency, collecting data,
qualitative analysis, hypothesis testing, or the comparison of different
pieces of software or processes; and have the advantage of revealing the
way things really are, as opposed to the way they are assumed to be.
Benefits:
Interaction with seminar speakers
Results from current topics and results in empirical approaches
Learn how to apply empirical approaches to current problems
Learn why empirical approaches are necessary
Reveal underlying truths about your organization/process
Get rid of assumptions about the way things work, and learn how they
really do
Who should attend - anyone responsible for:
Managing software projects
Maintaining or developing software systems
Research projects in Software Engineering
Process improvement
Requirements engineering and/or definition
Human resource acquisition and management
**There will be a room set aside for poster presentations for those wishing to
present work or work-in-progress**
