Newcastle University

The workshop is concerned with approaches to address, measure, and control volatility and complexity in complex software systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• The definition and evaluation of metrics for assessment of the volatility of a software system
• Metrics based on complex systems analysis methods (e.g. network metrics)
• Identification of the most change-prone artefacts of a system
• Architectural approaches for containing the spread of changes through the system
• Probabilistic reasoning about quality and functionality of software systems using software complexity and volatility metrics
• Evolution of volatility and complexity of large-scale software systems
• Dynamic visualisation of the behaviour and evolution of software systems
• Visualisation supported reasoning about complex software systems

The Call for Papers for the workshop is available as a pdf document .
