Scope

RISE 2005 is an international forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the advancement and rapid application of novel, integrated, or practical software engineering approaches, being part of a methodological framework, that apply to the development of either new or evolving applications and systems. It provides a nice opportunity to present and discuss the latest research results and ideas in the rapid and effective integration of software engineering techniques.

Main topics

The following constitute the core list of the key software engineering domains that form the focal point of the RISE workshop. However, this list should not be considered as closed or technically restrictive for paper submissions:

• Software and system architectures
• Software reuse
• Software testing
• Software model checking
• Model driven design and testing techniques
• Model transformation
• Requirements engineering
• Lightweight or practice-oriented formal methods
• Software processes and software metrics
• Automated software engineering
• Design patterns
• Design by contract
• Defensive programming
• Software entropy and software re-factoring
• Extreme programming
• Agile software development
• Programming languages
• Software dependability and trustworthiness

Key applications domains

There are specific targeted application domains of particular interest to the RISE workshop; submissions may well negotiate a domain-specific software engineering method; the following list is not restrictive.

• Web-based software systems
• Mobile communication systems
• High-availability or mission-critical systems
• Resilient business and grid applications
• Ambient intelligence environments
• Embedded systems and applications
• User interface development
• Development environments
• Electronic entertainment
• Enterprise computing and applications
