We cordially welcome you to the Joint Conference of the 31th International Workshop on Software
Measurement (IWSM) and the 16th International Conference on Software Process and Product
Measurement (MENSURA) - September 28-30, 2022 in Cesme, Izmir, Turkey.
IWSM-MENSURA is the premier international conference on software measurement. Over the past
three decades, the conference has built its reputation by attracting leading-edge researchers together
with talks, tutorials and discussions by the leaders and innovators in the field. The main goal is to
share experiences, challenges and solution approaches to facilitate technology transfers from best
measurement and estimation-related practices developed by researchers and world industry experts.
IWSM-MENSURA is one of the pioneer conferences in attracting industry participation with each
year 50-60% of its participants from industry, either as speakers or as attendees. Therefore,
IWSM-MENSURA is quite unique in its richness of discussions on the applicability of theoretical
measurement research in the field.
This edition continues this tradition by particularly encouraging proposals from experienced
industry practitioners and researchers on the state-of-the-art and the future of Information
Technology (IT) cost estimation and control. The topics of concern are listed in (but not limited to)
the following:

• Measuring and quantifying value
• Measurement automation
• Measuring technical debt
• Measurement processes and resources, e.g. agile or model-driven
• Usage of big data analytics for improving products and processes
• Empirical case studies
• Software measurement data mining
• Decision support systems based on software measurement
• Data driven decision making
• Visualizations and dashboards
• Measurement-as-a-Service
• Service-and product-oriented measures
• Measuring the software for the industry 4.0 projects
• Benchmarking
• Resources (cost, effort, time) Estimation
• Sizing Functional and Non-Functional Requirements
• Measurement and estimation practices in Agile Software Development
• Formal estimation in agile environments
• Portfolio estimation
• Trends in estimation
• Software size approximation techniques
• Effort estimation based on early size approximation
• Software measurement and cost estimation in Artificial Intelligence
• Software measurement and cost estimation in Blockchain, Game Development, Metaverse
Building and other emerging technologies
• Effort estimation for machine learning software
• Effort estimation for Industry 4.0 software
• Sizing software ecosystems
• Data science and data analytics
• Measurement theory for data science and AI
• Measurement and Data Analytics in the era of Artificial Intelligence
• Monitoring and Evaluation in the era of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence
We believe that the accepted contributions constitute a stimulating program and will provide many
new ideas and insights.

In addition to the research papers, there are two keynote speeches. One is given by Tugkan
TUGLULAR, who is currently serving as Associate Professor in the Department of Computer
Engineering at Izmir Institute of Technology. Another speech is given by Alain Abran who is
Professor and the Director of the Software Engineering Research Laboratory at Université du
Québec, Canada. He is also Co-Chair of the Common Software Measurement International
Consortium.

We are grateful to Onur Demirors, Murat Erten, Tolga Ayav, Alain Abran, Reiner R. Dumke and the
members of the Programme and Organization Committee. Our special thanks go to Samet Tenekeci
and Cagkan Uludagli for all their hard work with the preparation of the conference proceedings.
