Workshop on Properties of Software Engineering Research (PROPSER) 2021 First International Workshop on Properties of Software Engineering Research (PROPSER) Aim This workshop aims to bring together researchers at various points in their career and practitioner's alike, for discussing the systematic description and evaluation of software engineering research and their documentation. Motivation The workshop is motivated by two observations: writing and reviewing software engineering research results is often hindered by the lack of a community understanding what are important questions (hypotheses) to validate research and which methods are suitable, appropriate and needed for demonstrating evidence; retrieving research results just through syntactical terms of the paper title (or even abstract) is often very hard, and, as a consequence, comprehensively relating research results to each other in terms of support, strengthening or contradiction is rarely done. Therefore, in PROPSER we want to discuss in particular: – properties for describing software engineering research, such as relevance, evidence, applicability, appropriateness, etc; – general patterns for suitable empirical validations of research results and hypotheses; – suitable classifications of software engineering research, beyond established subject categories; – experiences, rules or guidelines, on how to decide on suitable validation questions and subsequently suitable empirical methods; – managing and organising research knowledge at a finer grain than paper citations; – methods for evaluating the impact of research on software engineering practice.

KIT Summer of Code for Society 08/05/2019 KIT started the project "Summer of Code for Society" (SoC4S) that wants to bring student developers into open source projects. The main focus are projects for public and non-profit organizations such as museums or schools. Students can either apply to existing project ideas or propose projects based on their own ideas. SoC4S funded by the Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst Baden-Württemberg with 85,000 €. The project is managed by ARE's Prof. Anne Koziolek and Jan Keim.
