Topics of Interest

The workshop is intended to cover a wide range of topics, from theoretical foundations to assessment frameworks and empirical studies involving contemporary software modularity techniques. Topics of interest include the following (but not limited to):

• Lessons learned from assessing new modularization techniques
• Empirical studies and industrial experiences
• Comparative studies between new modularization techniques and conventional ones
• Assessment frameworks
• Software metrics and estimation models
• Validation of assessment techniques and mechanisms
• Assessment techniques, methods and tools to different phases of the software lifecycle
• Development of predictive models of defect rates and reliability from real data
• Infrastructure issues, such as measurement theory, experimental design, and analysis approaches
• Improvement of modularization techniques based on assessment.
