In software engineering, there has long been a recognition that inconsistency is a fact of life. Evolving descriptions of software artifacts are frequently inconsistent, and tolerating this inconsistency is important if flexible collaborative working is to be supported.
The workshop follows on two previous successful iterations at ICSE-97 and ICSE-01. The new iteration is motivated by the recognition of the growing importance that inconsistency management has acquired over the last few years.
Many excellent research papers have recently appeared in multiple and dispersed venues which denotes a rekindled interest in the area. Thus we want to capitalize on this renewed interest and provide a venue for researchers and practitioners to gather and exchange ideas.
Goals
- To revisit, renew and reformulate the research agenda in inconsistency management research
- To introduce the agenda to the next tranche of young researchers in SE
- To investigate the new challenges in providing automated support for inconsistency management
