Workshop
4th International Workshop on Software Knowledge -
SKY
2013
22 September, 2013 - Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal
In conjunction with the International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management - IC3K 2013
* CANCELLED *
Scope
"Software Knowledge" – in short SKY – means that software in its higher abstraction levels is a new kind of knowledge, Runnable Knowledge.
Thus, the classes and relationships of a software UML diagram are easily viewed as the classes and relationships of a knowledge ontology.
For further details visit SoftwareKnowledge.org
The main theme of the SKY2013 Workshop is Software Systems Knowledge.
We mean that time is ripe to investigate the promising implications of Software Knowledge ideas to real life and large software systems.
The Workshop main objective is to discuss and propose practical tools to deal not only with experimental and laboratory research, but to actually facilitate transition into industrial grade and production software systems.

Topics of Interest
Software Knowledge is a
runnable expression of meaning.
Running facilitates understanding in
a very general sense. This is the rationale for the debugging process in a micro scale, where
one runs and breaks at desired points to understand the reason of software failures. This is the
basis of agile methods to manufacture and test concurrently, in a medium scale. This is the
possible source of great new tools, in a macro scale, from the software hierarchy
highest abstraction levels down to executable code.
SKY2013 topics of relevance include but are not limited to:
Software-Knowledge Hierarchy, Tools and Operations
- Software-Knowledge Hierarchy for Large Scale Systems
- Abstract Operations for Industrial Applications
- Software-Knowledge selectivity and traceability
- Software-Knowledge Sharing: Meta-models, interchange formats, and tools
- Knowledge Driven Architecture and Engineering
Software-Knowledge Runnability and Meaning
- Ontologies in complex systems
- Semantics above and beyond design patterns
- Runnable and testable knowledge representations
- Software-Knowledge representation and modeling
- Web dynamics and interestingness
Expected Outcomes
Expected outcomes of the SKY2013 Workshop are:
⇒ Proposals of new tools for large-scale Software-Knowledge based production.
⇒ A continuing effort to standardize a Software-Knowledge representation consisting of software models encompassing semantics as first class objects.

Abstract
Software development projects are rapidly increasing in size and complexity, with the developers becoming overloaded and overwhelmed with a growing amount of project information.
Developers learn how to contextualize this information and how to navigate in the complex network of software code.
The context information of the developer can be captured and processed in order to improve some of the tasks performed by developers during their work.
Some of these tasks are basic retrieval of information like searching or browsing, but context knowledge can also be used for recommendation of knowledge, which in the end can lead to the reuse of software code and knowledge.
This talk shows how software knowledge during IDE coding can be represented and used to help the developer navigate and find relevant code.
The talk focus on representing knowledge using ontologies and how search, browse and recommendation can be performed. Using this approach, the profiles of developers were studied, leaving interesting clues on how developers work.
