INES marca presença no VII Experimental Software Engineering Latin American Workshop (ESELAW 2010)

INES marca presença no VII Experimental Software Engineering Latin American Workshop (ESELAW 2010) que será realizado de 10-12 de novembro de 2010 no INF/UFG, Goiânia, Goiás. ESELAW 2010 is a forum for researchers and practitioners to report on and discuss new research results in Experimental Software Engineering, bringing together Latin America´s academic, industrial and commercial communities.

No evento, os membros do projeto irão apresentar o artigo Evaluating a Tool for Bug-report Analysis and Search, de autoria de Yguaratã Cerqueira Cavalcanti (UFPE), Paulo Anselmo da Mota Silveira Neto (UFPE), Ivan do Carmo Machado (UFBA), Eduardo Santana de Almeida (UFBA), Silvio Romero de Lemos Meira (UFPE).

O trabalho é parte do projeto “Uma Investigação de Processos, Ferramentas e Métricas para o Desenvolvimento de Linhas de Produto de Software“, no qual uma das metas consiste no desenvolvimento de um processo de SPL e na realização de estudos empíricos

INES at WSWEd’10

The paper “Uma solução MDA baseada em Ontologias na construção de ferramentas de autoria para Unidades de Aprendizagem” has been accepted for presentation at WSWEd’10 (Third Brazilian Workshop on Semantic Web and Education) to be held at the SBIE 2010 (XXI Brazilian Symposium on Computer in Education). This work is related to the INES project “Models, Processes and Tools for Developing Context Sensitive Systems”.

The paper is authored by the INES researchers George Pacheco Pinto, Laís do Nascimento Salvador and Ricardo Amorim. It will be presented in November 24, 2010, in the city of João Pessoa, PB.

Who will attend RISS 2010?

INES researchers will attend the Rise Summer School in Salvador – Bahia, November 18-19 2010.

* Christina Chavez  – UFBA (Models, Techniques and Tools for Software Evolution)

* Carlos Andrade, Larissa Reis, Bruno Cabral, Erik Almeida – UFBA (An Investigation of Methods, Processes, Tools, and Metrics for the Development of Software Product Lines (SPL)” — in portuguese, Uma Investigação de Processos, Ferramentas e Métricas para o Desenvolvimento de Linhas de Produto de Software)

INES sponsors the 3rd RiSE International Summer School (RISS)

INES is one of the sponsors of the  3rd RiSE International Summer School (RISS). RiSS is the first summer school to discuss the main advances in the field of software reuse with the participation of the main experts in the field from academy and industry.

It is the first time that RiSS will be held in Salvador. In this year, the list of topics will include: Generative Programming, Model-Driven Development, Feature-Oriented Programming, Domain-Specific Languages, and Software Transformation.

The lecturers are:

• Krzysztof Czarnecki (University of Waterloo, Canada)
• Markus Völter (itemis AG, Germany)
• Ira Baxter (Semantic Designs, USA)
• Don Batory (The University of Texas at Austin, USA)

We look forward to seeing you in Salvador.

UFBA is acquiring Books

Researchers from the  “Models, Techniques and Tools for Software Evolution” project acquire a set of academic books to support their activities.

Prof. Márcio Lopes Cornélio will attend the Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods – SBMF 2010

Prof. Márcio Lopes Cornélio will attend the  Brazilian Symposium on
Formal Methods – SBMF 2010 – that will be held in Natal-RN, 10-12 Nov
2010 . The main purpose is make new contacts and meet other INES
researchers for discussion about ongoing projects. This activity is part
of the project “Making Program Evolution Safer”.

INES at WCI 2010

The paper  entitled “New Detection in Time Series: A
Automatic Approach Based on Transition Between
States and Using Particle Swarm ” was accepted as a full paper for publication and presentation at the Third Workshop on Computational Intelligence, WCI’2010 (http://www.jointconference.fei.edu.br/wci/index.html). The workshop will be part of an international congress (http://www.jointconference.fei.edu.br) to be held in October in Sao Bernardo do Campo, SP, Brazil. The Congress is one of the most important and traditional in the area of computational intelligence in Brazil computer and comprises events such as the SBIA and SBRN.

The paper proposes a new approach for detecting novelties in time series. The paper is related to one of the goals of the project “Estimating software project effort with computational intelligence techniques and statistics”, coordinated by UFRPE, because the project intends to adapt this proposed approach to solve software engineering problems.

INES researchers are going to visit PUC-RJ in November

INES researchers Felype Santiago, Leopoldo Teixeira and Márcio Ribeiro are going to present results on SPL Refactoring, Emergent Feature Modularization, TaRGeT Product Line and possibilities of colaboration to professors Alessandro Garcia (PUC-RJ), Carlos Lucena (PUC-RJ) and Krzysztof Czarnecki (University of Waterloo, Canada) in Rio de Janeiro on November 22, 23 and 24. During this visit, professors and researchers are going to discuss and plan collaborations, that can result in new opportunities for the Software Productivity Laboratory Network.

Professor Krzysztof Czarnecki is going to visit CIn/UFPE

Professor Krzysztof Czarnecki from University of Waterloo, Canada, is going to visit CIn/UFPE on November 15th, to work with Dr. Paulo Borba on Software Product Lines. During this visit, he is going to present his work on Clafer, a meta-modeling language with first-class support for feature modeling. He is also going to watch presentations about the work conducted by the Software Productivity Group, affiliated to the Software Productivity Laboratory Network. Possible collaborations will be discussed, that can result in new opportunities for the Software Productivity Laboratory Network, specially for the trainings offered by the network.
