Empirical Software Engineering Issues. Critical Assessment and Future Directions: International Workshop, Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, June 26-30, 2006, 9783540713005 (354071300X), Springer, 2007

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Dagstuhl-Seminar on Empirical Software Engineering, held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany in June 2006. The purpose of this workshop was to identify the progress of empirical software engineering since 1992, to summarize the state-of-the-art in ESE, to summarize the state-of-the-practice in ESE in industry, and to develop an ESE roadmap for research, practice, education and training.

The 54 revised full papers in this state-of-the-art survey were carefully reviewed and selected from the presentations during the workshop, that provided a forum for a small but representative group of leading experts in software engineering with an emphasis on empirical studies from both universities and industry to meet and reflect on past successes and failures, assess the current state of the practice and research, identify challenges, and define future directions. The papers are organized in topical sections on the empirical paradigm, measurement and model building, technology transfer and education, as well as roadmapping.

Amazing Books

C++ The Core Language (Nutshell Handbooks)

O'Reilly, 1995

C++ is an object-oriented enhancement of the C programming language and is becoming the language of choice for serious software development.C++ has crossed the Single Book Complexity Barrier. The individual features are not all that complex, but when put together in a program they interact in highly non-intuitive ways. Many books discuss each...

Java Secrets

John Wiley & Sons, 1997

Java is generally a well-documented language, but not every language feature is fully specified, documented, or identical across all platforms. Java Secrets takes you into this Java twilight zone and introduces you to the language's hidden power. The book's first section explores the inner workings of many Java mechanisms, including...

Quantum Cosmology and Baby Universes

World Scientific Publishing, 1991

Quantum gravity is notoriously a subject where problems vastly outnumber results. This is no surprise at short distances, on the order of the Planck length, where most of us expect quantum fluctuations in the metric to cause space-time itself to lose its meaning and gravity to be subsumed (along with the other so-called fundamental interactions)...
