WeTSOM 2014 - 5th International Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Metrics (WeTSOM 2014)

The International Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Metrics, aims at gathering together researchers and practitioners to discuss the progress of software metrics. The motivation for this workshop is the low impact that software metrics has on current software development. The goals of this workshop includes critically examining the evidence for the effectiveness of existing metrics and identifying new directions for metrics. Evidence for existing metrics includes how the metrics have been used in practice and studies showing their effectiveness. Identifying new directions includes use of new theories, such as complex network theory, on which to base metrics.
The topics of interest in the discussion include:
New software metrics to assess quality and effort
Complex network theory and its application to software structure and growth
Micro-patterns and other code-style related metrics
Metrics for agile products, processes and teams
Dynamic tracking of software projects using metrics
Metrics-based quality prediction
Metrics related to Cloud Computing
Software architecture metrics, including service oriented architectures, and their application to software maintenance and evolution
Quality of Service and Service Level Agreement metrics
Metrics related to software for mobile terminals
Metrics for Open Source software products and processes
Metrics for measuring the security level of software applications
Metrics for increased understanding of low level design with quality mapping of metrics
Effective usage of metrics to aid peer code review
Metrics that facilitate maintenance and modification of code in legacy systems
Aspect-oriented metrics
