Mondragon Unibertsitatea in the Euromicro Conference

On 4-6 of September 2013, the 39th Euromicro Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications (SEAA) had taken place on the Hotel Santemar of Santander (Spain).

The Euromicro SEAA conference series is a long-standing international forum for researchers, practitioners from business and industry, and students to present and discuss the latest innovations, trends, experiences, and concerns in the field of Software Engineering and Advanced Applications in information technology for software-intensive systems. Over the years, Euromicro SEAA series have reflected and represented the continuous changes in this area by focusing on new, innovative and advanced software engineering methodologies and applications. The 39thEuromicro SEAA continues this tradition with several tracks and special sessions that reflect up-to date trends in research and practice.

This year’s main tracks include:

• Model-Based Development, Components and Services (MOCS)
• Software Process and Product Improvement (SPPI)
• Software Management (SM)
• Embedded Software Engineering (ESE)
• Cloud Software (CS)

In addition to these tracks, the program includes three special sessions on emerging and promising topics that are likely to have an impact in the near future:

• Estimation and Prediction in Software & Systems Engineering (EsPreSSE – inside the SM track);
• Measurement as a strategy for Software VAlue Management (MeSVAM – inside the SPPI track);
• Workshop Session on Teaching, Education and Training for Dependable Embedded and Cyber-physical Systems (TET-DEC).

This year, SEAA has received 121 submissions that have been rigorously peer reviewed by the program committee members and reviewers. As a result, 45 were accepted as full papers and 16 as short papers.

Miren Illarramendi, one of the researchers of the Embedded System’s Group of MGEP participated on the conference and she presented a full paper in the Workshop Session on Teaching, Education and Training for Dependable Embedded and Cyber-physical Systems (TET-DEC). In this work the research group has designed an Educational Use Case about the Reusability of SW Critical Components. The objective of the use case is to train the future professionals using active methodologies in the area of Safety Critical System introducing the last results of the research in this area.
