IDC 2017 Special Session on Simulation, Mining and Analytics for Software Systems - CFP

[Tobias Ahlbrecht]

Call for Papers for a Special Session on

Simulation, Mining and Analytics for Software Systems

at the 11th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing
(IDC 2017)

http://idc2017.pmf.uns.ac.rs

13th October 2017, Belgrade, Serbia


Scope and Topics

Mining and analytics for software systems comprises the mining in large
software archives for
collecting empirical data and the use of the empirical data for answering
specific research questions
for further analysis like, e.g., fault prediction, effort prediction, or as
input parameter for simulation purposes.

Software archives are often very large and contain heterogeneous structured
and unstructured data from
software versioning and revision control systems, issue tracking systems,
mailing lists or test libraries.
Software analytics often require the use of complex and computing intensive
algorithms.
Thus, mining and analytics of software systems require distributed and
intelligent computing
solutions, provided, e.g by multiagent systems. The results can be used for
various simulation tasks,
e.g. the evolution of software projects. Many such problems allow a natural
modelling as a
multi-agent system and simulating it can be a powerful method for
interesting predictions.

This special session aims at bringing together researchers from different
areas, while focussing on the
particular topic “Simulation, Mining and Analytics for software systems”.

We invite contributions from the following non-exhaustive list of topics:

 Decision-making and Predictive studies in Software Engineering (SE) and
evolution

 (Distributed) Software repository mining and analysis

 Methods and tools for software management planning

 Modelling and Simulation studies for software systems

 Modelling and simulating software processes

 Theoretical aspects of software mining

 Verification and (empirical) validation of agent based simulations

 Simulation in multi-agent systems and applications for SE

 Optimization techniques for multi-agent simulations


Submission and Publication

Authors are invited to submit short papers (6 pages) via the submission
system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=idc2017
for the appropriate special track. All accepted papers will be published by
Springer and are scheduled for presentation at IDC 2017,
where at least one co-author must register.

Submission deadline: 15.05.2017

Notification of acceptance: 30.05.2017

Camera ready papers: 15.06.2017

Authors of selected papers may be invited to submit a full paper for
publication in Annals of Math and AI (or another journal if more
appropriate).
