Applied Software Measurement

Angebote / Angebote:

The International Workshop on Software Measurement has a big tradition based on the German community on Software Metrics (starting as a small working group with the initiators being Reiner Dumke, Christof Ebert and Horst Zuse, currently leading to the German Computer Science Interest Group on Software Measurement (GI FG 2.10)). On the other hand, after first contacts with the Canadian Interest Group in Software Metrics (CIM) and especially with the team of Prof. Alain Abran in Montréal in the middle of the nineties the workshop's intentions are more and more addressed to the measurement processes and their practical background of industrial motivations. At the 8th IWSM the Common Software Measurement International Consortium (COSMIC) was founded which plays an important role in the application of modern software measurement methodologies and innovations. Our proceedings published at the Deutsche Universitätsverlag and the Shaker- Verlag, Aachen, constitute a collection of theoretical studies in the field of software measurement and case reports on the application of software metrics in companies and universities in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, UK, USA and Vietnam.
