CALL FOR PAPERS
COUFLESS: COmplex faUlts and Failures in LargE Software Systems
May 23, 2015
Firenze, Italy
Co-located with the 37th International Conference on Software Engineering
ICSE 2015 (http://2015.icse-conferences.
Not only has the volume of information being handled increased, it has also grown more complex, as have the applications - the many collaborating components of large, distributed applications may individually process information from diverse sources that must all be transformed and properly ordered to produce accurate and timely results. Many of the faults in these applications occur as a result of complex conditions that accrue within the applications and a significant time lag between fault activation and failure is due to error states that cross between the components of these applications and the databases. These faults, to which we refer as Mandelbugs, are difficult to isolate and the failures they are hard to reproduce. The theory of software debugging is stuck at the notion of a software system as a single program with input data. Debugging distributed components involves correlating messages that these components send to one another. Mandelbug debugging is difficult due to the lack of understanding of interactions among different components.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------------------
Major topics of interest this year will include (but not limited):
· Applications of software maintenance technologies;
· Reliable software architectures and software engineering techniques;
· Middleware and Infrastructures for software support and maintenance;
· Reliability and debugging aspects of the computational models such as object-oriented, declarative (functional, logic, constraint), programming or their extensions with coordination capabilities;
· Formal aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification);
· Software artifact mining for maintenance and evolution;
· Evolution and reverse engineering;
· Refactoring to improve software reliability.
· Software fault location
· Software testing
· Latency tail tolerance systems
· Industrial points of view: experiences, applications, open issues;
