Abstract

This workshop explores the concept of abstraction in software engineering at the individual, team and organization level. The aim is to explore the role of abstraction in dealing with complexity in the software engineering process, to discuss how the use of different levels of abstraction may facilitate performance of different activities, and to examine whether or not abstraction skills can be taught.
