6th RiSE Day

Last Saturday was accomplished the 6th RiSE Day. A special day in which we discussed all works performed by the RiSE members - some concluded, some "working in progress" and some in the "embryonal state".

The first section was devoted to the concluding work. We discussed some aspects related to reuse adoption {motivation, problems, goals and the framework proposed as solution}; new research trends in the LiFT - Legacy Information retrieval Tool (link in portuguese); the current state of the ToolDay, a tool for Domain Analysis (link in portuguese); set of work related to search and retrieval reusable assets {such as, Data Mining, Semantic, Ontology, Context-aware}; and, a systematic architecture method for SOA-based enterprise applications.

The second section covered work related to Software Product Lines such as: requirement engineering for SPL; domain design methods; core assets development in SPL (using the Mobile domain); and, aspects related to evolution and maintenance in SPL. This section finished with a discussion about an effective component testing approach.

The last section was a mix of other research trends, such as: new approaches for improve the reusable assets search and retrieval; duplicate bug and change requests detection; and a cost model for SPL.

This RiSE Day showed that the group is covering different aspects {technological, organizational, business and financial} related to software reuse {introduction, evolution and maintenance}.

In the 6th edition of the RISE Day, we had about 30 participants, from other groups of the CIn-UFPE, UPE and others universities; software companies like SERPRO, Pitang, C.E.S.A.R, Porto Digital among others.

We would like to thank all RiSE members, to dedicate your time to discuss a lot of work and help in disseminate the reuse practices in the Recife software environment.

Thank you guys! See you in the 7th RiSE Day.

As Vinicius summarized, RiSE Day is an incredible day for people working with software reuse. In addiction, it can be a good start point to everyone interested in understanding more about reuse and seeing the state of the art and practice in the area.
Moreover, it is a good time to have discussion with specialists in different aspects related to reuse.
I hope seeing the pictures here - we do not have the videos - and participating in the next one.

I was there and I confirm that RiSE Day was a excelent opportunity to discuss relevant issues of Software Reuse!
