An important date is coming up for all software developers, decision-makers, and engineers in the IT domain: On 15 and 16 November 2007, the Software Metrics Conference MetriKon 2007 will take place at the Fraunhofer Center in Kaiserslautern for the second time already. The professional conference organized by the Deutschsprachige Anwendergruppe für Software-Metrik und Aufwandschätzung e.V. (DASMA) will offer a program of international presentations featuring contributions from state-of-the-art research and experience reports from industrial application in practice. The co-located professional exhibit will provide an opportunity for discussion with specialized service and tool providers.
International professional presentations by experts in their field, hailing from institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE or the universities of Berlin and Heidelberg, will be given, and reports will be delivered by experienced practitioners from renowned companies such as DaimlerChrysler, Robert Bosch, or IBM - to name but a few. Furthermore, there will be an opportunity to participate in tutorials on software measurement processes and cost estimation. Prior to the conference, on 14 November, there is a chance to take certification examinations for the COSMIC Full Function Point Method as well as for the IFPUG Function Point Analysis.
This trend-setting professional conference is the only one of its kind in Germany that focuses on measurement, and is therefore the place to meet for international specialists from industry and research. The number of participants, which continues to increase year after year, is proof of the great significance of these issues for the entire information and communication industry. In a dense program, practitioners and decision-makers can obtain information about the state of the art of scientific research and get valuable ideas for their own organizational practice from the intensive exchange with application professionals from industry.
Traditionally, contributions at MetriKon conferences have comprised aspects such as comparison, introduction, and evaluation of goal-oriented software metrics as well as practical experiences with industrially used methods for estimating the development effort in software projects. Special focus will be given to quantitative project management and controlling issues as well as to ways of providing tool support for selected processes. Work done by ambitious next-generation scientists is not overlooked - which is reflected by the award given to the best diploma thesis in the area of software metrics and effort estimation. The award, endowed with 1000 euros, will be presented for the fifth time already in the context of an evening event held at the end of the first conference day.
If you cannot make it to Kaiserslautern to attend MetriKon, you should mark your calendar for ESEM 2008: As a co-founder of the "International Software Engineering Research Network" (ISERN), Fraunhofer IESE will organize the largest international conference on "Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement" in Kaiserslautern on 9 and 10 October of next year. This will be another event where all renowned international experts dealing with software measurement will gather.
