DSMM 2009

ACM First International Workshop on Data-intensive Software Management and Mining

Co-located with CIKM 2009

November 6th, 2009 Hongkong, China

CALL FOR PAPERS

With the increasing number and size of Free/Libre and Open Source Software projects, managing and mining large-scale software repositories has attracted substantial interest. Software repositories include source code version control, problem reporting systems, and developer discussion lists. Managing and mining these repositories has helped to understand and improve software design, development, and maintenance. As these repositories grow larger and more numerous, a need to use data management and mining techniques becomes more urgent.

The goal of this one-day workshop is to convene software engineering (SE), data mining (DM), and database (DB) communities in order to help SE researchers learn about relevant data management and mining techniques and to help DM/DB researchers learn about the nature of software repositories and their relationship to software development and maintenance.

DSMM 2009 encourages contributions describing research, applications, and experience reports that use data managing or mining techniques in large-scale software repositories. Developing new data management and mining algorithms, or customizing existing algorithms for large-scale software repositories are also encouraged. The primary research topics include, but are not limited to:

- Software indexing and search techniques. - Software pattern mining and management techniques - Management/mining of large-scale multi-version source code corpus - Case studies of management/mining of large-scale software
