3rd International Workshop on Conducting Empirical Studies in Industry (CESI 2015): Post-workshop Report
Pages 26 - 29
Abstract
Few would deny today the importance of empirical studies in the field of Software Engineering and, indeed, an increasing number of studies are being conducted involving the software industry. While literature abounds on idealistic empirical procedures, relatively little is known about the dynamics and complexity of conducting empirical studies in the software industry. What are the impediments when attempting to follow prescriptive procedures in the organizational setting and how to best handle them? This driver underlies the organization of the third in a series of workshops, CESI 2015, held on 18th May, 2015 at ICSE 2015. This report summarizes the workshop details and the proceedings of the day.
