Scope
=====

Historically, in the first four editions of GTTSE, the school series
focused on generative and transformational techniques in software
engineering, as evident from the original acronym (GTTSE - Generative
and Transformational Techniques in Software Engineering). With the
rise of the Software Language Engineering conference, the school
series also covered that field. As of the 5th edition, a broader scope
is applied to include additional areas of software engineering, e.g.,
software analysis, empirical research, modularity, and product
lines. Thus, the new expansion of the GTTSE acronym: Grand Timely
Topics in Software Engineering. The notion of timely topics is
inspired by the ICSE conference which, in its 2015 edition, features
technical briefings as "a venue for communicating the current state of
a timely topic related to software engineering".


Format
=====

The school's scientific program of GTTSE 2015 consists of 10 briefings
for different timely topics in software engineering. Each briefing is
based on a relatively short paper which combines aspects of surveying
and tutorial. The surveying aspect is realized specifically by the
design constraint for the briefings to dedicate 50% to the analysis of
related work. The remaining 50% are typically dedicated to the more
specific research of the presenters. Each briefing gets allotted 2-3
sessions with up to 3 hours in total. The speakers for the briefings
are established authorities in their respective fields.

GTTSE 2015 also features a students' workshop. These presentations may
be refined into submissions of short papers (6-8 pages LNCS style) to
be peer-reviewed and considered for inclusion in the post-proceedings
past the school.

All material presented at the school will be collected in informal
proceedings to be handed out solely to the participants. Formal and
public post-proceedings will be compiled after the summer school where
all contributions are subjected to reviewing. The post-proceedings of
the school will be published in a volume of the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series of Springer International Publishing. The
post-proceedings of the previous four instances of the summer school
were published as LNCS 4143 (GTTSE 2005), LNCS 5235 (GTTSE 2007), LNCS
6491 (GTTSE 2009) and LNCS 7680 (GTTSE 2011).
