Abstract :
Software engineering (SE) contains its own set of myths and urban legends. The experience gained by researchers in the software maintenance community should be valuable in studying various SE myths and in separating myths from facts. The goal of this half-day working session is to increase awareness of many SE myths and to offer an open venue to discuss and understand them. The organizers are collecting popular SE myths online through a Wiki. Two myths will be selected for discussion in the working session. For each myth, we will invite advocates and opponents to facilitate the discussion. We will start the online discussion with the following list of myths 1) clones are evil, 2) bugs reside in complex code, 3) aspect-oriented programs.
