Summary form only given, as follows. Software engineering has generally done a good job of building software systems with the intended functionality and cost and that is safe, secure and reliable. However, there is a broader set of human values – such as transparency, integrity, diversity, compassion, social justice – that are largely ignored when we develop software systems. In this talk, I will argue that software development methods should place more emphasis on these human values so we do a better job of building software that aligns with our individual, corporate or societal values. Furthermore, drawing on recent evidence from case studies in industry, I will argue that dealing with human values in software systems is not just of interest to a small group of organisations; rather, all software projects should think about human values, build them in where appropriate, test for them, and use them to drive design decisions. When they are not dealt with in this way, there can be severe social and economic consequences.

SANER 2019, the 26th IEEE International IEEE International Conference on Software Analysis, Evolution and Reengineering. SANER is the premier research conference on the theory and practice of recovering information from existing software and systems. It explores innovative methods of extracting the many kinds of information that can be recovered from software, software engineering documents, and systems artifacts, and examines innovative ways of using this information in system renovation and program understanding. SANER 2019 has a rich and diverse program on the latest innovations and visions in software analysis, evolution and reengineering. The research track received 151 submissions, of which 2 were desk-rejected and 1 was withdrawn by the authors during the review period. The remaining 148 papers each received at least three reviews. We adopted a double-blind reviewing process to the research track based on the success of double-blind reviewing adopted last year. Following an extensive online discussion, 45 papers were accepted (5 of them being conditionally accepted in a first stage), yielding an acceptance rate of 30.4%. No specific acceptance rate was communicated as a guideline to the reviewers. The PC were free to accept any paper deemed strong and novel enough and were encouraged to look for reasons to accept papers rather than to just point out flaws. The accepted papers will be published in the official conference proceedings. Up to top 10% of accepted papers would be awarded the IEEE TCSE Distinguished Paper Awards. The award papers will be announced at the conference. As in previous years, authors of selected papers from the research track will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to a special issue of the Springer international journal of Empirical Software Engineering (EMSE).

This paper empirically investigates the factors influence review participation in the MCR process. Through a case study of the Android, Qt, and OpenStack open source projects, we find that the amount of review participation in the past is a significant indicator of patches that will suffer from poor review participation. Moreover, the description length of a patch and the purpose of introducing new features also share a relationship with the likelihood of receiving poor review participation. This paper is an extended abstract of a paper published in the Empirical Software Engineering journal. The original paper is communicated by Jeffrey C. Carver.
本文对MCR过程中影响评审参与的因素进行了实证研究。通过对Android、Qt和OpenStack开源项目的案例研究，我们发现，过去的审查参与数量是一个重要的指标，表明补丁将受到不良审查参与的影响。此外，补丁的描述长度和引入新特性的目的也与接受不良评论参与的可能性有一定的关系。本文是发表在《经验软件工程》杂志上的一篇论文的扩展摘要。原文由Jeffrey C. Carver传达。

The number of mobile apps and the number of mobile devices have increased considerably in the past few years. To succeed in the competitive market of mobile apps, such as Google Play Store, developers should improve the user-perceived quality of their apps. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between mobile device attributes and the user-perceived quality of Android apps. We observe that the user-perceived quality of apps varies across devices. Device attributes, such as the CPU and the screen resolution, share a significant relationship with the user-perceived quality. However, having a better characteristic of an attribute, such as a higher display resolution, does not necessarily share a positive relationship with the user-perceived quality. App developers should not only consider the app attributes but also consider the device attributes of the available devices to deliver high-quality apps. The original paper is published in the Empirical Software Engineering journal communicated by Lin Tan.
在过去的几年里，移动应用程序的数量和移动设备的数量都有了显著的增长。为了在竞争激烈的手机应用市场(如Google Play Store)中取得成功，开发者应该提高用户对其应用的感知质量。在本文中，我们研究了移动设备属性与Android应用的用户感知质量之间的关系。我们观察到，不同设备的用户对应用质量的感知不尽相同。设备属性，如CPU和屏幕分辨率，与用户感知的质量有着重要的关系。然而，拥有更好的属性特征(例如更高的显示分辨率)并不一定与用户感知的质量呈正相关。应用开发者不仅要考虑应用属性，还要考虑可用设备的设备属性，以提供高质量的应用。论文发表在林谭主持的《经验软件工程》杂志上。

We developed an approach that protects users from using faulty spreadsheets in collaborative settings. Results from an empirical evaluation with 71 spreadsheet users indicate that the approach is both helpful and easy to learn and apply.

This paper provides the following contributions: (i) a framework that supports analyzing and comparing runtime monitoring approaches using different dimensions and elements; (ii) an application of the framework to analyze and compare 32 existing monitoring approaches; and (iii) a discussion of perspectives and potential future applications of our framework, e.g., to support the selection of an approach for a particular monitoring problem or application context.

Optimizing mobile apps early on in the development cycle is supposed to be a key strategy for obtaining higher user rankings, more downloads, and higher retention. However, little research has been done with respect to identifying and understanding actual optimization practices performed by developers. In this paper, we present the results of three empirical studies aimed at investigating practices of Android developers towards improving apps performance, by means of micro-optimizations.

I implemented and ran my first clone detection on industrial software roughly a decade ago. Fueled by both the amounts of problematic code it uncovered, and the (at least partially) positive feedback from developers, our research group subsequently focused on quality analyses to improve engineering practice. Since then, our research prototypes have grown into a commercial tool employed by professional software developers around the world every day. It implements both static and dynamic analyses for over 25 programming languages and runs in development, test and production environments of hundreds of companies. We bootstrapped our spin-off, CQSE GmbH, into a company of 30 employees (half of which hold a PhD in Software Engineering). All of us exclusively work on, or employ as part of our audit services, software quality analyses built upon this community's research. In this keynote, I want to share our key insights: experiences, surprises and anecdotes. I will cover hard lessons learned on how to have an impact in real-world projects, surprising results of seemingly trivial approaches, the role of software visualizations in marketing and our key learnings in transferring research from academia to practice.
