Welcome to the homepage of the 8th Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories!
The Mining Software Repositories (MSR) field analyzes the rich data available in software repositories to uncover interesting and actionable information about software systems and projects. The goal of this two-day working conference is to advance the science and practice of MSR.
The MSR conference is sponsored by ACM SIGSOFT and IEEE TCSE. The proceedings will be published by ACM and included in its digital libraries. The Springer journal Empirical Software Engineering will publish a special issue on MSR 2011. The prize (Xbox with Kinect) for the Mining Challenge has been sponsored by Microsoft Research. |

While the PC is making its final decisions for the author notification tomorrow, we would like to announce a partnership between MSR and PROMISE:
This year, MSR has teamed with the PROMISE conference to manage storage of data from MSR 2011 papers. If you are able to so, we strongly encourage you to submit the data associated with your accepted paper to the PROMISE repository of reproducible SE experiments.
By storing your data in a publicly accessible location, your papers will get cited more (since they will be the origin of a line of research based around your data).
Also, by interacting with other researchers using your data, you may discover ways to enhance your analysis method (perhaps resulting in more publications, or novel grant opportunities, in the future).
