Abstract
In the following text, we report the 8th Software Engineering Doctoral Symposium (SEDES), a satel-
lite event of the 13th International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications
Technology (QUATIC).
The goal of the SEDES doctoral symposium is to provide Software Engineering PhD students with an
environment in which they can present and discuss their work, receive feedback and suggestions from
faculty and peers, and network with other researchers in the field. The goal of this symposium is aligned
with the QUATIC conference, meant to bring, in this case, young researchers to discuss ongoing research
about methods, techniques and tools for supporting quality approaches to ICT engineering and manage-
ment. Besides being an opportunity to gather the community of researchers in Software Engineering,
both in academic or industrial settings, SEDES also aims at fostering international cooperation.
1. Symposium
2020 is a year that is going to be remembered worldwide in the history books for unfortunate
reasons. It was a year of complete disruption of the status quo. Humanity was threatened by
the COVID-19 virus, and being caught by surprise, had to quickly adapt. The whole society had
to make an incredible collective effort to keep some ”normality” rolling. The educational and
scientific communities were no exception. Science kept going, but in some areas, at a slower
(possible) pace. Professors, Researchers, Students, science and educational/administrative staff,
mostly confined or heavily constrained, managed to keep the activity. Unfortunately, most of
the scientific events under the perspective of not happening had to become online. SEDES, a
satellite event of QUATIC 2020, was no exception. It was initially planned to happen in Algarve
on the 8th of September 2020, a beautiful region of the south of Portugal. Nevertheless, it
managed to have a full day online session with very good participation of close to 50 people
attendants and 5 selected papers presented.
SEDES has been along the years, since its first occurrence in 2004, a satellite event of QUATIC.
Although initially designed to be a forum for students from Portuguese speaking countries, it
became truly international in 2020. It counted with a varied and respectful set of 11 researchers
as a scientific panel from 7 different countries (Austria, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey,
and the United Kingdom). The students were also original from 4 distinct countries (Belgium,
Brazil, Iran, Portugal).

SEDES hosted the invited keynote presented by Manuel Wimmer, Full Professor and Head
of the Department of Business Informatics – Software Engineering at the Johannes Kepler
University Linz, Austria. His communication had the title: ”Design Science for Software and
Systems Engineering”. In this talk, the attendants could learn that Design Science is a research
methodology that focuses specifically on the design and evaluation of artefacts in a particular
context. Departing from the fact that in Software and Systems Engineering, solutions are created
and evaluated concerning given requirements, it was discussed how Design Science can be
used for researching this field. Several best practices and research methods were presented for
conducting a successful PhD thesis in this area.
Despite the worldwide context, this year’s quality of the papers was excellent, and the
Best Paper Award was assigned by the program committee to the student Mehrdad Moradi
(Supervised by Joachim Denil) with the communication entitled ”Machine-Learning Assisted
Model-Implemented Fault Injection”.
Finally, we want to highlight that SEDES 2021 will be held again as a satellite event of
QUATIC2021 in Algarve, hosted by the University of Algarve in Faro, again 8-11 September
2021. Due to the continuous emergency state due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is planned to
be a mixed online and in situ event.
2. Selected Papers
This edition of SEDES programme included the following communications:
• Sara Fernandes, Ademar Aguiar and André Restivo, ”Live Software Inspection and Refac-
toring” - This work describes the effort to build a framework that increases the developer
productivity by providing a live environment for code inspection (with code smells
warnings) and refactoring recommendations.
• Mehrdad Moradi and Joachim Denil Machine-Learning Assisted Model-Implemented
Fault Injection - This work presents ongoing work to use a Machine Learning algorithm
to aid Fault Injection approaches e Cyber-physical Systems design, by efficiently injecting
faults in the model under test automatically.
• Yon Vanommeslaeghe, Joachim Denil and Paul De Meulenaere Multi-Paradigm Design
Space Exploration for Advanced Cyber-Physical Systems - This work proposes to use
ontologies to derive design space exploration to solve smaller sub-problems over the
different domains during cyber-physical systems design.
• Joost Mertens and Joachim Denil Digital Twins for Continuous Deployment in Model-
Based Systems Engineering of Cyber-Physithe cal Systems - The work is about using
digital twins of the CPS development process as an application of DevOps in MBSE.
• Darliane Miranda and João Araujo A Framework for Integrating Web Accessibility Re-
quirements in Agile Methodology - this work proposes the development and assessment
of a framework to support the elicitation and analysis of web accessibility requirements,
in an agile context. For that, it will extend systematically the accessibility goal-oriented
model (the iStar framework).
