9th RiSE Day

Next wednesday, on July 1st, right after IV WIRE(*), RiSE will promote its 9th internal workshop, the RiSE Day, an environment in which RiSE Members present their master and doctoral works, some concluded and some 'working in progress', in order to discuss and have feedback on the issues they have been devoted effort.

The 9th RiSE Day will be held at C.E.S.A.R, in Recife-PE, Brazil, at 10:00 a.m. Software reuse practitioners are welcome to make discussions more interesting!

The Ph.D. student Pàdraig O'Leary, from Lero, The Irish Software Engineering Research Centre, came to this workshop to experience the research the RiSE group has been conducted and exchange ideas with RiSE members as well. He presented the research he's been worked on, entitled A Process Framework for Product Derivation.

We are glad for the comments and contributions from John D. McGregor and Frank van der Linden, who also joined this international RiSE Day.

Best Dissertation Award

In the last Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality, Fernando Raposo, member from the RiSE Labs was awarded with the best M.Sc. dissertation in the software quality area.

In his work, Fernando defined an approach for component testing and a CASE tool to automate it. Moreover, he defined an experimental study evaluating the approach and tool defined.

Congratulations, Fernando!!
