2018 IEEE/ACM 3rd International Workshop on Emotion Awareness in Software Engineering SEmotion

活动简介

Affective computing is the study and development of systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human affects, i.e. the experience of feelings or emotions. Over the past decade, research has shown the impact of affective states on work performance and on team collaboration. This also applies for software engineering that involves people in a broad range of activities, where personality, moods, and emotions play a crucial role. For successful software engineering projects, stakeholders need to experience positive affect (such as trust or appreciation), to agree on display rules for emotions, and to hold mutual commitment to the project goals.

Recently, researchers started to study the role of affective computing and affective states in software engineering. However, contributions on this topic are currently presented and discussed in diverse conferences and workshops. This workshop follows on the second edition held at ICSE 2017, towards the consolidation of an international, sustainable forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the role of affect in software engineering to meet, present, and discuss their work-in-progress.

High-quality contributions about empirical studies, theoretical models, as well as tools for supporting emotion awareness in software engineering are invited to the workshop, both from academia and industry.

征稿信息

This workshop aims at identifying and addressing challenges posed by emotion awareness in software engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Impact of affective states (emotions, moods, attitudes, personality traits) on individual and group performance, commitment and collaboration in software engineering
The role of affect in the social programmer ecosystem
Leveraging stakeholders’ affective feeemotidback to improve software, tools, and processes (e.g., sentiment analysis of users’ feedback, aspect-based sentiment analysis of product reviews, etc.)
Design, development, and evaluation of tools and datasets for supporting emotion awareness in software engineering
Reusable software frameworks, APIs, and patterns for designing and maintaining affect-aware systems
Ethnographic approaches to affect monitoring in the workplace of software projects
Psychology of programming and modelling of affective states (e.g., defining/adapting psychological models of affect to software engineering, understanding the trigger behind emotions during developers’ activities, etc.)
Affective state detection from multimodal analysis of spontaneous communicative behavior such as natural language processing, use of biometric measurements, analysis of body posture and gesture, speech analysis
Affect sensing from communication artifacts (e.g., message boards, issue tracking, social media): techniques and tools for extracting and summarizing emotions in communication • Methodologies for large-scale emotion mining
Emotion awareness in requirements engineering, software design, and software management
Emotion awareness in software design philosophies, development practices, and tools
Emotion awareness in cross-cultural teams in global software development
Methodologies and standards
Replications of prior studies
