UFPE and UFAL Researchers at FOSD Meeting 2015 and ICSE 2015

INES researchers Leopoldo Teixeira and Márcio Ribeiro will attend the FOSD Meeting 2015, held at the International Academy Traunkirchen, Austria, between May 13th and 16th. FOSD is an workshop within the field of software development for variability-rich software systems and feature-oriented software development (FOSD). The main goal of the meeting is to foster intensive and interactive discussions around the aforementioned topics. The meeting provides an open and stimulating atmosphere and encouraged presentations at different levels of maturity. During the meeting, the following works will be presented: “A Product Line of Theories for Reasoning about Safe Evolution of Product Lines” and “An Empirical Study on Fine-Grained Feature Dependencies.”

Besides the FOSD Meeting, Leopoldo will also attend the 37th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE’2015), to be held in Florence, Italy, in May 2015. There, he will also attend a satellite event of ICSE, the New Faculty Symposium. The main purpose is to make new contacts and meet collaborating researchers for discussion about ongoing projects.

The paper titled “Towards Government as a Social Machine” has been accepted for presentation at the The 3rd International Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Social Machines (SOCM2015) that will be held at 24th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW 2015) which will be held from May 18 to 22, 2015 in Florence, Italy. Details about WWW 2015 can be found at the conference website: http://www.www2015.it/. The paper will be presented by Vanilson Burégio, first author of the paper and member of the S.MA.R.T – Social MAchines Research Team – a research project of INES.

INES at IPSN 2015

Gibeon Aquino, Professor at UFRN and INES Researcher, will attend the 14th International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN 2015). IPSN is part of CPS Week and the CPS Week 2015 will be held in Seattle, WA in April 2015. It consists of four sister conferences: HSCC: 18th ACM International Conference on Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control, ICCPS: 6th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems, IPSN: 14th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks, and RTAS: 21th IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium. The researcher pretends to attend this conferece in order to better understand the advances in the conference topics, in special on applications and practices related to indoor localization problem. Moreover, there is a special interest in observing the Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition which will be co-located with IPSN 2015. This activity is part of the project “Indolor – Indoor Location Radar”.

UFPE Researcher at ICSE 2015

INES researcher Fernando Castor will attend the 37th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), to be held in Florence, Italy, in May 2015. Fernando will also attend two satellite events of ICSE, the International Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories and the International Workshop on Green and Sustainable Computing. Fernando is co-author of a paper accepted for publication in the latter event:

Gustavo Pinto, Francisco Soares-Neto, Fernando Castor. Refactoring for Energy Efficiency: A Reflection on the State of the Art. In Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Green and Sustainable Computing. Florence, Italy, 2015.
