The Greater Region Software Engineering Research Days (SOFTER) is a research forum in software engineering in the area of the Greater Region. The Greater Region lies at the crossroads of the rivers Rhine, Saar, Meuse and Moselle. It covers 65.401 km2 with more than 11.6 million inhabitants from the territories Lorraine in the French region Grand Est, Wallonia, the Federation Wallonia-Brussels and Ostbelgien in Belgium, Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany as well as the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
In terms of academic activities, it covers the universities and research centers of Namur, Luxembourg, Trier, Saarbrücken, Nancy and Metz.
Each year, it brings together researchers from academia to discuss foundations, techniques, and tools for automating the analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of complex software systems. A special emphasis is put this year on Machine-Learning Systems.
Every researcher who is willing to join the event and discuss potential collaborations is invited to register. The program of SOFTER is built based on your contributions (abstract proposals).
The 1st edition is organised in Namur, Belgium.
