The 46^th CREST Open Workshop - SSBSE 2016 Challenge: Collaborative Jam Session

 

Date:  6th and 7th April 2016

Venue: Room 101, Birkbeck University, 30 Russell Square, WC1B

Overview:

The 8th Symposium on Search Based Software Engineering (http://ssbse.org/2016/) is hosting a Challenge Track, in which authors are invited to submit six-page papers describing the application of SBSE techniques to one of four real-world example programs, listed in the challenge call. The purpose of this CREST open workshop is to draw together those in the community interested in collaborating on submissions for this challenge.  The workshop will act, in part, as a `collaboration brokerage',  helping to facilitate and foster collaborations between different subgroups attending the workshop.

The workshop is open to everyone, both from academia and industry.

Members of the EPSRC Dynamic Adaptive Automated Software Engineering (DAASE: http://daase.cs.ucl.ac.uk) project will be participating in the workshop, thereby providing opportunities for others in the community to develop or initiate collaboration with the  DAASE project members and/or with each other.  

The emphasis of the workshop will be on collaboration with a view to producing high quality submissions to the challenge track.
