Summer school
Overview
International summer school "Visual Software Analytics - Software Comprehension through Analysis and Visualization": 16 to 25 September 2019, Room P-801 in the Paulinum of Leipzig University, Language of instruction English
The summer school is an additional course that will be offered exclusively in 2019 at Leipzig University. It features lectures and workshops from international top scientists and experts from IT companies as well as social events. It has an interdisciplinary orientation covering software engineering, graph theory, data science, software analysis as well as software visualization in 2D, 3D, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR). The summer school will take place from 16 to 25 September 2019 and can be taken as a module in the summer semester for Bachelor and Master students of Business Information Systems (ger. Wirtschaftsinformatik) and Computer Science (ger. Informatik) at Leipzig University.
Objectives
The summer school offers students a new, experimental look at software by visualizations in 2D, 3D, VR, and AR, which fosters a better understanding of its structure, functionality, and quality. For this purpose, methods for the extraction, storage, analysis, and visualization of software-related data will be presented and applied hands-on. To expand their technical and methodological competence, students learn about innovative analysis methods and tools that they can use as professionals, for example as Software Development Analyst, Consultant, Project Manager, Architect, or Tech Lead.
In software visualization there is a significant gap between theory and practice. Many scientific findings and prototypes are not in use in practice. The summer school will investigate this conflict in a joint endeavor of students and experts from science and practice in order to identify possible causes and discuss corresponding remedies. To achieve this, a critical dialogue will be started between scientists presenting their perspectives and approaches and practitioners explaining their requirements and needs for added value.
