The new software engineering initiative, Semat, is in the process of developing a kernel for software engineering that stands on a solid theoretical basis. So far, it has suggested a set of kernel elements for software engineering and basic language constructs for defining the elements and their usage. This paper describes a session during which Semat results and status will be presented. The presentation will be followed by a discussion panel.

The workshops of ICSE 2012 provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange and discuss scientific ideas before they have matured to warrant conference or journal publication. ICSE Workshops also serve as incubators for scientific communities that form and share a particular research agenda.

Summary of the ICSE 2012 Tutorials and Technical Briefings

(Google, Switzerland; University of Bern, Switzerland)
This year ICSE is offering a mix of half-day and full day tutorials in addition to shorter technical briefings in selected domains. Whereas tutorials cover a wide range of mature topics of both academic and practical interest, technical briefings are intended to provide a compact introduction to the state-of-the-art in an emerging area.
