IWSM-MENSURA is the premier international conference on software measurement. Over the past three decades, the conference has built its reputation by attracting leading-edge researchers, leaders, and innovators with talks, tutorials, and discussions. The main goal is to share experiences, challenges, and solution approaches to facilitate technology transfers from best measurement and estimation-related practices developed by researchers and world industry experts. IWSM-MENSURA is one of the pioneer conferences in attracting industry participation, with each year 50-60% of its participants from the industry, either as speakers or as attendees. Therefore, IWSM-MENSURA is quite unique in its rich discussions on the applicability of theoretical measurement research in the field.

In 2024, the program will include:

• 4 research workshops: Monday-Tuesday Sept. 30 and Oct. 1^st
• Industry master classes for software project managers: Wednesday Oct. 2^nd.
• Two conference days on software measurements R&D innovations: Thursday-Friday Oct. 3-4.
