The workshop will be held in the framework of the 12th EANN (IEEE)/7th AIAI (IFIP)2011 Joint conference

Computational Intelligence in Software Engineering

Brief topic summary:

The proposed workshop focuses on the usage of Computational Intelligence techniques in Software
Engineering problems, where they can offer beneficial results. The aim of the workshop is to
host research papers that present practical solutions in emerging Software Engineering issues
that employ Computational Intelligence techniques.
Particularly the workshop is related with research and development advances in the field of
Software Engineering and more specific the study, analysis, design, modeling, implementation
and application of Computational Intelligence techniques that attempt to tackle significant Software
Engineering problems. The topics of interest can have theoretical and practical importance and
especially research papers of emerging and innovative ideas are promoted through this workshop.
The term of nature-inspired Computational Intelligence methodologies is introduced in addressing
convoluted problems of the real world and applications that traditional methodologies and approaches
find highly complex and difficult to tackle. Particularly, techniques such as Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks,
Evolutionary Computing, Swarm intelligence, Artificial Immune Systems, Dempster-Shafer theory, Chaos
theory and Multi-valued logic, linked to reasoning and decision making, may be applied in real world
situations and serve the Software Engineering community.
The integration of Software Engineering with Computational Intelligence is very important to both academia
and industry. In fact software development teams introduce a variety of conceptual and algorithmic practices
combined with Computational Intelligence methods into various areas of Software Engineering, such as
Project management, Risk Analysis, Testing, Cost estimation, Failure Modeling, etc. Computational
Intelligence also provides the means for more precise measurement of software metrics and handling
the uncertainty or fuzziness of information.
The workshop welcomes research papers with direct impact or high dependence on practical issues
faced in real-world situations. Industrial/market-oriented research papers are also highly encouraged.
To this end the program committee, apart form academics, hosts people from the industry as well, who
will be called to assist the review process in cases of highly correlated research papers with the industry
or market.

In particular the topics of the workshop include but are not limited to the following:

Clustering and Classification
Decision Support
Machine Learning
Data Mining
Text Mining & Retrieval
