IWSM-MENSURA 2018 is the Joint conference of the 28th International Workshop on Software Measurement (IWSM) and the 13th International Conference on Software Process and Product Measurement (MENSURA). It is the premier international conference on software measurement. Over the past two decades, the conference has built its reputation by attracting leading-edge research together with talks, tutorials and discussions by the leaders and innovators in the field. This year the conference will focus on the COSMIC Measurement Method.
Call for Contributions: Research Papers and Tutorials (Updated April 27, 2018)
We invite proposals from researchers and practitioners in all fields of software measurement. This year we particularly encourage proposals from experienced industry practitioners and researchers with COSMIC expertise and experience in the usage of COSMIC. The main goal is to share experiences, challenges and solution approaches to facilitate technology transfers from best estimation-related practices developed by researchers and world industry experts.
Submission Guidelines
Proposals of Research Papers and and Tutorials:
Research papers must be formatted according to Springer's LNCS formatting guidelines. Submissions must be in English and must not exceed 16 pages. The title page must contain a short abstract clarifying the relation of the paper with the topics above.
Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the IWSM 2018 Easy Chair submission site: https://easychair.org/my/conference.cgi?conf=iwsmmensura2018;a=12906107
