SONA 2006
First International Workshop on
Software Navigation Analysis

14-17 March 2006, Barbados

Theme and Goals

Many activities in software engineering involve the navigation of information in different artifacts (source code, documentation...). The effectiveness of software navigation activities can have a great impact on the overall quality and cost of a software project. For a number of years researchers have been studying software navigation and proposed ways to improve its effectiveness. The goal of the first SONA workshop is to create a community of researchers interested in issues of navigation in software engineering. An additional goal for the workshop will be to devise a common framework for comparing empirical results in software navigation analysis.

Location and Facilities

The workshop will be held at McGill University's Bellairs research institute, located directly on a beautiful beach in Barbados. The Bellairs institute provides very basic accommodation (in double occupancy only), and partial board, for a minimal fee (in the order of 50 USD per day - exact price subject to change). The workshop activities will be held directly at the institute.

Organization

Due to restricted space availability, attendance at the workshop is by invitation only.
