ICSE 2010 - International Workshop on Multicore Software Engineering (IWMSE 2010)

This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners tackling the upcoming software engineering challenges, such as creating large-scale multicore applications or reengineering legacy applications. We also aim to stimulate discussions between academia and industry to get a better understanding of the software engineering problems we are currently facing and how they could be solved. We welcome contributions making connections between multicore software engineering and other fields, showing how improvements in those fields lead to improvements in software engineering. The workshop also explicitly addresses software engineering researchers who have not worked in multicore before - but who have the knowledge and expertise that are important to addressing software engineering challenges posed by multicore - to contribute suggestions for solutions or position statements that are written in a scientific approach backed by arguments, experiments, or other empirical evidence. We solicit original, previously unpublished papers of current or work-in-progress research. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Parallel patterns
Frameworks and libraries for multicore software
Parallel software architectures
Modeling techniques for multicore software
Software components and composition
Programming models and their impact on multicore software engineering
Testing and debugging parallel applications
Software reengineering for parallelism
Performance Tuning and Autotuning
Development environments and tools for multicore software
Process models for multicore software development
Experience reports from research projects or industrial projects
Position statements
