Abstract

It is our pleasure to present to you the final reports of the ITiCSE 2012 Working Groups. This year's working group members came from a number of countries and worked together well before, during and after the conference. Draft reports were submitted via e-mail at the close of the conference and final reports were e-mailed to us a month later. Each report was reviewed by at least three reviewers who made general comments and suggestions for revision. All of the reports were deemed valuable and worthy of publication in the Digital Library and on the SIGCSE end of year CD by the reviewers. The working groups took their comments and suggestions seriously and revised their reports in light of them. Finally, the revised reports were sent to additional knowledgeable colleagues who were asked to rank the reports from 1 to 4 with 1 being the best. They were informed that their combined rankings would be used to select a "best working group report" if possible to be reprinted in Inroads. These colleagues all commented that ranking the papers was "tough", that they were all excellent, that the rankings were close, and that ranking them was much harder than they had expected. The report of the working group led by Michael Goldweber entitled "A Framework for Enhancing the Social Good in Computing Education" has been selected and will appear in the Spring issue of Inroads. We very much enjoyed our interaction with the working group members and are very proud of their efforts. We hope that these reports will be the seed for other papers in the future. We want to thank all of the working group members, working group chairs, and reviewers for their participation. This wouldn't have existed without them.

Teaching software modeling in computing curricula

Modeling is a key skill in software development. The ability to develop, manipulate and understand models for software is therefore an important learning objective in many CS/SE courses. In this working group, we investigated how and when (software) ...

Educating for mobile computing: addressing the new challenges

Computers that once filled rooms now fit in our pockets, and unlike their predecessors, mobile computers abound. The mobile industry is surging, with more smartphones being sold to consumers than PCs [17]. But does the rise of mobility impact computer ...
