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!

(*) IV WIRE - Workshop to Introduce Reuse in Enterprises - is promoted by RiSE in conjunction with C.E.S.A.R and CIn, and it will be held in next June 29 and 30, 2009.



*UPDATE - Jul 1st, 2009*

This edition included the following presentations:

• Towards an Approach for Service-Oriented Product Line Architectures - Lecturer: Flavio Medeiros
• RiPLE-DE - The RiSE Process for Product Line Engineering Design - Lecturer: Ednaldo Dilorenzo
• RiSE Adoption Process Framework for Software Reuse Adoption in Brazilian Companies - Lecturer: Vinicius Garcia
  
• Towards an approach to deal with feature interaction in software product lines - Lecturer: Hernan Muñoz
• SPL Architectures - Variability in Quality Attributes - Lecturer: Ricardo Cavalcanti
• Towards an effective Software Product Line Testing Approach - Lecturers: Paulo Anselmo and Ivan Machado
  
  

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.

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.
