Topics of Interest
We seek contributions related to techniques and applications of mining unstructured data. Contributions would ideally, but not limited to, address one of the following topics:
- Tools and methods for extracting unstructured data from software development repositories.
- Adaptions of NLP and IR approaches to the Software Engineering domain.
- Lessons learned and pitfalls of working with unstructured data and potential solutions.
- Analysis of unstructured data embedded within structured data (e.g., comments in source code).
- Unstructured data for linking of software development artifacts and traceability.
- Usage of unstructured data for software evolution tasks, such as Feature and Concept Location, evolution of unstructured data over time, or extraction of semantics from software development repositories.
- Success and failure stories of mining unstructured data with a critical dissemination of reasons for the specific success or failure, and future steps.
Submissions
We invite high-quality contributions to this workshop in the form of short (4 page) papers. Submissions should address specific tools, techniques, applications, stories of success or failure,
adaptions of techniques from other domains, and lessons learned in the domain of Mining Unstructured Data. Papers must not have been accepted elsewhere for publication or be under review for
another workshop, conference, or journal. Top-quality papers that are accepted for presentation at the workshop will be recommended to the Special Issue of Electronic
Communications of the ECEASST journal (http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/eceasst).
Submission Website: Please submit your short (4-page) paper through the MUD'12 EasyChair Website.
Formatting Guidelines
Contributions are required to be formatted in the IEEE Computing Society conference format. For detailed formatting and submission guidelines, please visit the WCRE'12 website at http://www.distat.unimol.it/wcre2012/.
