Abstract
Software quality needs functions or mechanisms to relate directly measurable software attributes (e.g. cyclomatic complexity) to external quality attributes (e.g. reliability). Similarly, in the information modeling area, high-level information characteristics are represented in terms of low-level syntactic features by the use of semantic analysis methods. Software is knowledge as it contains data structures, instructions and documentation. Thus, there exists a need for software semantic analysis methods that process software as a knowledge source.
The primary goal of the workshop is to bring together experts in the fields of knowledge and software engineering to discuss the commonalities and differences in representing and evaluating high-level information characteristics and software quality attributes respectively, determine the potential for similar and complementary approaches, and establish a common framework for this purpose. In addition to this, the workshop will provide a platform for the formation of special interest groups to define and discuss a joint research agenda and stimulate future developments.
