Summary:

Annotation Most academic disciplines emphasize the importance of their core, central or general theories Examples of general theories include Big Bang theory, Maxwell s equations, the theory of the cell, the theory of evolution, the theory of demand and supply, the general theory of crime and the theory of marriage Software engineering meanwhile, has not produced widely accepted general theories Lack of theory undermines the perceived scientific legitimacy of the field, curtails education and prohibits development of a cumulative body of knowledge The GTSE workshop consequently supports attempts to propose, synthesizing, clarify and testing core, central and general theories in the software engineering domain GTSE especially promotes attempts to answer fundamental questions, integrate ideas from diverse sources and propose revolutionary, contrarian and generally ambitious new theories.
