Dynamic analysis techniques reason over program executions and deal with data produced at program execution time. Dynamic analysis and static analysis techniques complement each other. Hence, a key focus of the workshop is dynamic analysis of software systems with an emphasis on research that integrates static and dynamic analyses.

In the past 40 years, software engineering has emerged as an important sub-field of computer science. The quality and productivity of software have been improved and the cost and risk of software development been decreased due to the contributions made in this sub-field. The software engineering community needs to invest much more efforts to cope with the drastically increasing demands on the information technology as well as the extremely open and dynamic nature of the Internet. The history of software engineering is reviewed with emphasis on the driving forces of software and the milestones of software engineering development. The history of software engineering in China is reviewed with emphasis on the relationship between software engineering and the software industry. Based on the above reviews, we argue that software engineering should become an independent discipline along with computer science and co-operative efforts from academia, governments and industries should be needed for the harmonious development of software engineering. Some results are presented based on China's experience of developing software engineering under this model.

Quantitatively-based risk management can reduce the risks associated with field defects for both software producers and software consumers. In this paper, we report experiences and results from initiating risk-management activities at a large systems development organization. The initiated activities aim to improve product testing (system/integration testing), to improve maintenance resource allocation, and to plan for future process improvements. The experiences we report address practical issues not commonly addressed in research studies: how to select an appropriate modeling method for product testing prioritization and process improvement planning, how to evaluate accuracy of predictions across multiple releases in time, and how to conduct analysis with incomplete information. In addition, we report initial empirical results for two systems with 13 and 15 releases. We present prioritization of configurations to guide product testing, field defect predictions within the first year of deployment to aid maintenance resource allocation, and important predictors across both systems to guide process improvement planning. Our results and experiences are steps towards quantitatively-based risk management.

The Global Studio Project integrated the work of Software Engineering students spread across four countries into a single project and represented, for most of the students, their first major "real-world" development experience. Interviews indicated that the major areas of learning were informal skills that included learning to establish and work effectively within a team, learning how to react quickly to frequent changes in requirements, architecture and organization, and learning to manage and optimize communications. Since all these skills require rapid reaction to unpredictable factors, we view them as improvisation and discuss the role of experiential education in facilitating improvisation.

Usability is increasingly recognized as a quality attribute that one has to explicitly deal with during development. Nevertheless, usability techniques, when applied, are decoupled from the software development process. The host of techniques offered by the HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) field make the task of selecting the most appropriate ones for a given project and organization a difficult task. Project managers and developers aiming to integrate usability practices into their software process have to face important challenges, as the techniques are not described in the frame of a software process as it is understood in SE (Software Engineering). Even when HCI experts (either in-house or from an external organization) are involved in the integration process, it is also a tough endeavour due to the strong differences in terminology and overall approach to software development between HCI and SE. In this tutorial we will present, from a SE viewpoint, which usability techniques can be most valuable to development teams with little or no previous usability experience, how a particular set of techniques can be selected according to the specific characteristics of the organization and project, and how usability techniques match with the activity groups in the development process.

Many enterprise systems are developed in C++ language and most of them are standalone. Because the standalone software can not follow the new market environment, reengineering the standalone legacy systems into distributed environment becomes a critical problem. Some methods have been proposed on related topics such as design recovery, the identification of the component, modeling the interfaces of components and components allocation. Up to now, there does not exist a reengineering process for partition distributed environment, which will offer distinct advantages on horizontal scalability and performance over normal distributed solutions. This paper presents a new process to reengineer C++ legacy systems into the J2EE partition distributed environment. The process consists of four steps: translation from C++ to Java code; extraction of components using the cluster technology; modeling component interfaces and partition of the components in J2EE distribute environment. It has been applied to a large equity-trading legacy system which has proved to be successful.

This paper describes an initial investigation of how different conditions for conducting a team programming exercise impact learning. We conducted a series of in-depth case studies on the use of various communication technologies and compared them with face-to-face case studies of team programming. We explored how these communication technologies can help improve students' learning. We summarize the findings from these studies and give guidance to instructors and to tool designers on how future tools can be improved to support collaborative learning in team programming.

The purpose of this study is to reduce the gap between the requirement analysis and analysis phases of developing multi-agent systems. We utilize KAOS, one of the goal-oriented analysis methodologies, as a requirement analysis method, and propose a model translation into an analysis model for simple and effective development of multi-agent systems.

Exception handling resolves inconsistency by backward or forward error recovery methods or both in Business-to-Business (B2B) process collaboration. To avoid committing irrevocable tasks followed by exceptions, B2B processes, which guarantee the atomicity sphere property, are attractive. While atomicity sphere ensures its outcomes to be either all or nothing, conflicting local recoveries may lead to global B2B inconsistencies. Existing (global) analysis techniques however mandate every process unveiling all individual tasks. Such an analysis is infeasible when some business parties refuse to disclose their process details for privacy or business reasons. To address this problem, we propose a process algebraic technique to prove, construct, and check atomicity-equivalent public views from B2B processes. By checking atomicity spheres in the composition of these public views, business parties can identify suitable services that respect their individual and overall atomicity requirements. An example based on a real-life multilateral supply chain process is included.
