Overview and Introduction to the Workshop on Best Practice in Software Engineering: The Role of Industry in Software Engineering Education and Training

摘要

The interactions between Industry and Universities are examined in this open event with the aim of producing inputs to an international project that is concerned with gaining knowledge of industrial Software Engineering (SE) practices together with the development of a framework that will assist in the classification and evaluation of such practices. The key objectives for the workshop are to (i) identify the types and range of interaction between industry and academia, which enable knowledge to be gained of industrial SE practices, (ii) identify those areas in SE where best practices are most likely to be found, (iii) identify the mechanisms which could be used in the analysis of the interactions between industry and academia and which would assist in the classification and evaluation of industrial SE practices, and (iv) produce a prototype framework which would support these evaluation activities.
