This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Dagstuhl-Seminar on Empirical Software Engineering, held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany in June 2006. The purpose of this workshop was to identify the progress of empirical software engineering since 1992, to summarize the state-of-the-art in ESE, to summarize the state-of-the-practice in ESE in industry, and to develop an ESE roadmap for research, practice, education and training. The 54 revised full papers in this state-of-the-art survey were carefully reviewed and selected from the presentations during the workshop, that provided a forum for a small but representative group of leading experts in software engineering with an emphasis on empirical studies from both universities and industry to meet and reflect on past successes and failures, assess the current state of the practice and research, identify challenges, and define future directions. The papers are organized in topical sections on the empirical paradigm, measurement and model building, technology transfer and education, as well as roadmapping.
