The 53rd CREST Open Workshop - SSBSE 2017 Challenge: Collaborative Jam Session

Date: 24th and 25th April 2017

Venue: Room 4.05, 66-72 Gower Street, University College London, WC1E 6EA 

Overview:

The 9th Symposium on Search Based Software Engineering (http://ssbse17.github.io/challenge/) 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 (LibreOffice, SQLite, Guava and Flask). 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. 

A wiki with links to artefacts and guidelines for all the challenge systems can be found at https://github.com/mhepaixao/ssbse17_challenge_wiki. Feel free to take a look at what the systems have to offer before the event, and get ready to work at those during 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.
