Empirical Software Engineering Issues. Critical Assessment and Future Directions International Workshop, Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, June 26-30, 2006, Revised Papers /

Victor R. Basili, Dieter Rombach, and Kurt Schneider Introduction In 1992, a Dagstuhl seminar was held on “Experimental Software Engineering Issues” (seminar no. 9238). Its goal was to discuss the state of the art of empirical software engineering (ESE) by assessing past accomplishments, raising ope...
