Program Highlights

The symposium consists of five excellent talks by distinguished speakers: Crista Lopes (UC Irvine) on Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), Brian Robinson (ABB Research) on technology adoption in industry, Zhendong Su (UC Davis) on software analysis, Andreas Zeller (Saarland U.) on delta debugging and model mining, and Dongmei Zhang (Microsoft Research Asia) on software analytics in practice, along with two panels to enable substantial interactions between the attendees and the speakers.

Symposium Overview

The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers with substantial research experiences to give invited presentations and panel discussions on sharing their lessons learned from their research experiences in developing a research project, area, or agenda, including lessons learned from their research-development process, strive for high-impact research.

In contrast to the typical technical presentations and discussions at research workshops,, which commonly focus on positive results and research end products, we want to focus the invited presentations and discussions in this symposium at both the end products and the process that led to them, including "false starts, unsuccessful attempts and detours." We believe that such details on the research-development process are critical for other researchers to learn how to better conduct their own research and how to mentor others to do so. The target audience includes researchers from various career phases ranging from student researchers, junior researchers to senior researchers, and from both academia and industry.
