Opis

Since 1990 the International Workshop on Software Measurement (IWSM) has been celebrated annually in Montr eal (Qu ebec), Canada, and di?erent places all over Germany by turns. The Montr eal editions were organized by the Soft- 1 ware Engineering Research Laboratory (GELOG) of the Ecole de technologie sup erieure (ETS) at the University of Qu ebec at Montr eal (UQAM), which is directed by Professor Alain Abran. The German editions were organized 2 jointly by the Software Measurement Laboratory (SMLAB) of the Otto-von- Guericke-UniversityMagdeburg, Germany, whichisdirectedbyProfessorReiner R. Dumke; and the German-speaking user association for software metrics and 3 e?ort estimation (DASMA e. V.) . Partially, the editions of IWSM were held jointly with the DASMA Software Metrik Kongress (MetriKon). 4 Organized by an initiative of Jos e Javier Dolado from the University of 5 the Basque Country at San Sebastian and Juan J. Cuadrado-Gallego from the University of Alcal a in Madrid the ?rst edition of the International Conference onSoftwareMeasurement(Mensura) couldbe convenedin C adiz, Spainin 2006. Motivated by this success and with the ?rst edition of Mensura ?nding special approval, the organizers of IWSM and Mensura decided to complement each other and, thus, to organize the next conference edition together. In November 2007, the typical convention month for both conferences, that joint conference was held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Workshop on Software Measurement, IWSM-Mensura 2007, held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, in November 2007.

The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers deal with aspects of software measurement like function-points measurement, effort and cost estimates, prediction, industrial experiences in software measurement, planning and implementing measurement, measurement-based software process improvement, best practices in software measurement, usability and user interaction measurement, measurement of open source projects, teaching and learning software measurement as well as new trends and ontologies for software measurement.
