Workshop program

ECOOP'2003

7th ECOOP Workshop on
Quantitative Approaches in
Object-Oriented Software Engineering
(QAOOSE'2003)

Darmstadt, July 2003

The proposed workshop is a direct continuation of six successful workshops, held at previous editions of ECOOP in Malaga (2002), Budapest (2001), Cannes (2000), Lisbon (1999), Brussels (1998) and Aarhus (1995). The QAOOSE series of workshops has attracted participants from both academia and industry that are involved / interested in the application of quantitative methods in object oriented software engineering research and practice. Quantitative approaches in the OO field is a broad but active research area that aims at the development and/or evaluation of methods, techniques, tools and practical guidelines to improve the quality of software products and the efficiency and effectiveness of software processes. The relevant research topics are diverse, but always include a strong focus on applying a scientific methodology based on data collection (either by objective measurements or subjective assessments) and analysis (by statistical or artificial intelligence techniques). Like in previous years, submissions of position papers are invited, but not limited, to the areas of metrics collection, quality assessment, metrics validation, and process management.
