SoHeal 2021

Welcome to the 4th International Workshop on Software Health in Projects, Ecosystems and Communities (SoHeal).

SoHeal aims to enable and promote collaboration between academia and industry, unifying the views on software health of researchers and practitioners. The workshop’s goals are to: (i) raise awareness of practitioners’ problems with software health; (ii) familiarize practitioners with the progress made by academia; and (iii) connect the two communities to advance the body of knowledge and the state of practice.

SoHeal aims to enable and promote collaboration between academia and industry, unifying the views on software health of researchers and practitioners. The workshop’s goals are to: (i) raise awareness of practitioners’ problems with software health; (ii) familiarize practitioners with the progress made by academia; and (iii) connect the two communities to further advance the body of knowledge and state of the practice on software health.

We invite both research papers of up to 8 pages (including figures, tables and references), and talk proposal contributions of up to 2 pages (including figures, tables and references), all submissions will peer-reviewed and must be submitted through HotCrp.

Talk proposals of 1 to 2 pages reporting on practitioner’s or industrial experience will be considered for presentation during the workshop, on the basis of an abstract of the talk and the author’s biography. All accepted contributions will be presented during the workshop, but talk proposal contributions will not be included in the proceedings.

Topics for contributions on software health (at project, community or ecosystem level) include but are not limited to:

• health of social, technical, legal, process or business;
• aspects at ecosystem or project level;
• technical health issues related to dependencies;
• qualitative and/or quantitative studies;
• tools (e.g., for analytics and visualization);
• techniques to measure, assess, and monitor software ecosystem or project health at individual, team, organisational or community level;
• prediction and/or recommendation models to forecast software ecosystem issues or improve their health;
• experiences with developing and/or relying on software ecosystems in industry, open source or the public sector.

The official publication date of the workshop proceedings is the date the proceedings are made available in the IEEE Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of ICSE 2021. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
