WORKSHOP
OBJECTIVE
The growing field of Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) addresses
optimization problems to build optimized software systems throughout all
development stages. Planning, project management, design, testing, deployment,
maintenance, etc., and quality attributes such as speed, cost,
reliability, availability, flexibility, scalability, responsiveness,
adaptation, maintainability, testing, etc., have high potential of
optimization, specially due to the increasing complexity of software systems
development, deployment and maintenance. This research domain reflects itself
the wide and diverse applications of software itself. The huge space of options
and decisions required throughout all software development stages and the
variety of objectives at stake, originated the raise of the Search-Based
Software Engineering research field. Due to specific and highly customized
software optimization goals, software engineering optimization is generally
devoted to improving some objectives at the cost of others, providing the best
trade-offs for system design or operation. Several modern tools are available
to support Search-Based Software Engineering approaches. IWoSBSE'15 intends to
foster a growing interest for Search-Based Software Engineering by gathering
researchers with different backgrounds and perspectives on software engineering
and optimization.
