4th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON EXCEPTION HANDLING

14/11/2008 - http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/WEH.08/ - Atlanta, GA, USA

Overview

This workshop will provide a forum for presenting and discussing research on exception handling in all areas of software development. The participants will work together to identify exception handling challenges in the whole software life cycle, methodological as well as technical issues, modelling techniques and linguistic mechanisms. In particular, we will be interested in discussing open research questions in the following contexts: - exception handling during early development phases, such as requirements elicitation, specification and analysis; - formal modelling, testing, validation and verification of exception handling; - model transformations and refinements in the presence of exceptions; - best practice in exception handling engineering; - exception handling in open, dynamic and ubiquitous systems. Based on the workshop submissions, the workshop aims to (i) debate the open issues on the interplay of exception handling and software engineering; (ii) bring the attention of the software engineering community to the importance of exception handling in contemporary software development; (iii) motivate the expansion of systematic practice and research of exception handling throughout the whole software lifecycle, and (iv) foster a collaborative environment for both practitioners and researchers interested in of innovative exception handling techniques.
