[WSSSPE] Date/location of WSSSPE6 next year?

Fri Nov 3 04:29:38 PDT 2017

My view is that if co-locating with a Software Engineering conference, we’d want to try and get crossover of attendees from the conference who were interested in improving the sustainability of scientific software. That suggests at least partly an introductory session, but also that we should have some segment of working meeting to get people “hooked”.

I don’t think that this would happen without promotion – my feeling from doing (with Jeff Carver) the more recent SE4Science workshops (co-located with ICSE) is that the participants consisted mostly a small subset of the SE community who already do some work in the area of scientific software (as opposed to SE for industry, SE for open source) along with people who come because they have a direct interest in scientific software. 

The other concern I’d have is the cost to attendees of participating if it was a working meeting only. This might just be an artefact of the fees for ICSE, which I think are prohibitive if only coming for a one day co-located workshop. Colin: are you able to indicate the rough cost to attendees of coming to ESEC/FSE?

Best regards,

Neil

If we did this, it looks like we would get 1 day.  Does this seem right to you? 

A more general question might be what we want to get out of the next event.  A working meeting?  An introductory meeting for the SE community that normally attends ESEC/FSE?

I would really like to see WSSSPE at a software engineering conference. We are too late for ICSE in 2018 but the call for workshops at the ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (ESEC/FSE) has not been announced.

Date: Sun 4 - Fri 9 November 2018

Location: Lake Buena Vista, Florida, United States

I think this seems too soon after the 5.1 and 5.2 events.

We would be happy to colocate with ESIP in January 2018, if that is of interest to the group. ESIP will be Jan 9-11, 2018 in Bethesda, MD. 

Details and call for session information are here:  http://www.esipfed.org/meetings/upcoming-meetings/esip-winter-meeting-2018

Best,

Hi,

While we're at it, I'd be happy to help out with WSSSPE again for
release 6, but think we should consider running it just before RSE18
again, so probs in the autumn rather than the first half of '18?

Seems that alternative locations for RSE18 are considered, but don't
know whether that means in or outside of Manchester?

Cheers
Stephan
