    Welcome to the official website of the Next Generation of MSR 2014!

    Over the past decade, the MSR community has grown at a tremendous rate. The impact of MSR on software research and practice is already visible, which is breath-taking for one of Software Engineering's youngest sub-fields.

    As we prepare for another decade of MSR successes and challenges, it is important to step back and reflect on viable future directions for MSR: What are the next grand challenges? What are promising data sources? How can we enable stronger adoption of our research?

    To address these issues, we have invited top researchers and they will give a short talk about next MSR challenges and promising research directions. After each talk, they will lead the discussion with participants.

    Venue @ Council Chamber (7th Floor, Rm 7336, Use Lift 13-15)

    Hiking @ Dragon's back (15 Nov, Sat 2PM)

    The Dragon's Back was hailed by Time Magazine as Asia's best urban hike: "This is the city´s finest and most surprising ramble... The glory of it all is that you're so close to the city, but could hardly feel further away."
