20th International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE)

Last week, in San Francisco, California, I participated in the 20th International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE). The conference this year had roughly 120 attendants from more than 30 countries. During these three days, the conference discussed several aspects related to software engineering and knowledge engineering. In special, important topics were related to neural networks in software development (prediction systems), clone detection, component selection approaches, and product lines.

In this conference, the main drawback was the number of parallel tracks (3-4). On the other hand, the good point was the number of accepted papers from Brazil. There, the RiSE Labs presented a paper entitled: A Systematic Process for Domain Engineering discussing how to create family of reusable assets in a specific domain.
