Third Wikis4SE Workshop

[Filipe Correia]

Nome: Wikis for Software Engineering Workshop
Datas: 8 de Setembro 2008

The use of wikis in software engineering dates back to 1995, when Ward
Cunningham created the first ever wiki as a platform for discussing
patterns and software development efforts. The simplicity and
effectiveness of wikis as a medium for collaborative authoring has
lead to their vast popularity across many domains.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and
enthusiasts interested in exploring the potential of wikis as an
effective tool to support software engineering activities.

Specifically, it is an opportunity to:
* Learn from the knowledge and experience gained in using wikis
for software engineering.
* Identify benefits and best practices.
* Identify limitations and challenges.
* Develop an agenda for future research and development to advance
the state of the art.
* Initiate new collaborations between researchers and
practitioners.

Examples of relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
* Experience
o Reports on experiences in using wikis to support software
engineering.
o Wikis in software engineering educational settings.
o Practices and tips you would like to share.
o Evaluation of specific wiki implementations and features.
* Integration
o Integration of wikis with software engineering tools
(IDEs, analysis, modeling, Q&A, configuration management, etc.).
o Wikis as front-ends or as actual knowledge management
platforms in software projects.
o Wikis as plugins to software engineering tools.
o Wikis as mashups for software artifacts and tools
o Wikis as collaboration tools in global software
development.
o Wikis as social tools for software project communities.
o Wikis as tools for agile software development
* Extensions and tools
o Wiki engines with specialized support for software
projects.
o Specific markup languages for software development.
o Tools based on wiki principles.
o Mechanisms for preserving the semantic connection between
wikis and software artifacts.
