Welcome to the CeBASE e-mail update!

Once again we want to inform you of new updates on the CeBASE website (http://www.cebase.org) and other relevant news over the last months:

• In the Tools section, the most recent additions/updates include University of Nebraska – Lincoln’s BORE (Building an Organizational Repository of Experiences) and the new release of University of Hawaii’s Hackystat. BORE is a prototype tool designed to further explore and refine the requirements for tools supporting experience-based approaches. Hackystat is a tool for automated metrics collection which has now a newer release with improved architecture and interface. Please visit our list of tools and add pointers to others you have found useful: http://www.cebase.org/www/Resources/tools/index.htm
• In the Reports section, many new publications were added and are available for download. You can browse the repository by type of publication or you can also use a search form: http://www.cebase.org/www/Resources/reports/index.asp.
• The results of the Third eWorkshop on Agile Methods are now available on the eWorkshops section: http://www.cebase.org/www/Resources/eWorkshops/index.html.
• In conjunction with ISERN and FC-MD, we are creating a repository of empirical studies on agile methods. You are invited to view what we have so far and contribute your own studies: http://fc-md.umd.edu/projects/Agile/ISERN/ISERN%20agile%20resources.asp

We would also like to announce a CFP for the International Symposium on Software Engineering (ISESE 2003). The objective of the symposium is to foster the development of empirical research in software engineering by providing a forum where researchers and practitioners can report on and discuss new research results. ISESE 2003 is part of, and co-located with ESEIW2003 - Empirical Software Engineering International Week. Submission deadline is Saturday, March 29, 2003. To get more details please follow the link on the News section of our main page (http://www.cebase.org).

Please remember you can always use the FAQ (http://fc-md.umd.edu/cebase-faq/faq.asp) to find answers to your questions and also post your questions. You can use the Quick Links and Search features to quickly find relevant information on the website.
