		1st International Workshop on
	Software Productivity Analysis and Cost Estimation
			(SPACE 2007)

		Tuesday, December 4, 2007
			Nagoya, Japan

	Co-located with IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on 
		Software Engineering (APSEC07)

Paper submission(deadline): September 24 (23:59, Apia Time)

Software project managers require reliable methods for estimating software project costs, and assessing software development productivity. For over 25 years, there has been considerable research effort directed towards software cost estimation and software productivity analysis, various algorithmic approaches developed and their performance reported in the research literature. But nevertheless, cost estimation and productivity analysis remains a complex problem in the software industry.
 
The goal of the workshop on software productivity analysis and cost estimation, SPACE 2007, is to bring together practitioners and researchers for discussion and presentation on the emerging aspects pertaining to software cost estimation, productivity analysis, prediction models and techniques, and lessons learned. The workshop provides a forum to present new ideas and to explore future directions in these areas for software engineering and software project management. 

TOPIC OF INTEREST
-----------------
All papers should focus on the topics of software productivity and cost estimation, and contribute to one or more of the following areas (but not limited to):
 
Software Effort and Cost Estimation
Defect Rate and Reliability Assessment
Software Productivity Measurement / Analysis
Software Process Improvement
Software Quality Measurement and Assurance
Development of Predictive Models
Case-based / Analogy-based Reasoning Approaches
Expert-based Reasoning Approaches
Algorithmic Techniques
Qualitative and Quantitative Methods
Evaluation and Comparison of Techniques and Models
Simulation Techniques
Experience Management
Data Mining using Software Repository
Development of Tool to Support Software Metrics
