ESEC-FSE'2019: Summary and Keynote Talk Recordings

Last week (26-30 August 2019), the Software Engineering Research Group of University of Tartu's Institute of Computer Science had the priviledge of hosting one of the top annual research meetings in software engineering: The 2th ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (ESEC-FSE), in Tallinn, Estonia.

The event attracted a record number of 390 participants. We witnessed a flood of scientific presentations and exchanges, including six invited keynote talks, 98 research talks (including 24 journal-first talks), 21 industry talks, 15 tool demos, seven workshops, as well as a doctoral symposium, a student research competition, and several community events.

For those in the software engineering community who did not manage to join us, below are the video recordings of the six keynote talks.

• Joanne Atlee: Living with Feature Interactions
• Marta Kwiatowska: Safety and Robustness for Deep Learning with Provable Guarantees
• Audris Mockus: Insights from Open Source Software Supply Chains (Industry Keynote)
• Koushik Sen: CUTE: a Concolic Unit Testing Engine for C (Impact Award Keynote)
• Thomas Zimmermann and Nachiappan Nagappan: Cross-project Defect Prediction: a Large Scale Experiment on Data vs. Domain vs. Process (Test-of-Time Award Keynote)
• Christian Bird and Prem Devanbu: Fair and balanced? Bias in Bug-fix Datasets (Test-of-Time Award Keynote)
