A strength of ISERN is that the meetings are NOT structured in
"conference" format. Instead, presentations are
quite short and used as a starting point for spirited and productive
discussions.

Experimentation II:
Experimental software
engineering education
Issues include the appropriate techniques for teaching experimental
software engineering, and the impact of other research (ex. reading) on
educational activities. One intended outcome is the creation of a
framework for future research efforts. This session will include the
following short talks:
| Experiences from experimenting in the classroom, Vic
Basili,
University of Maryland, USA |
| Courses in empirical methods at UNSW: Experiences from 10 Years, Ross Jeffery, University of New South Wales, Australia |
