Improving API Design Skills with the API Design Fest
Röll, Achim; Bonorden, Leif
APIs should be stable and demand a careful evolution, which requires a good initial design. Such API design skills usually come from experience, but the API Design Fest intends to compress such experience into a dense course. While the original training event was intended for practitioners, we are interested in the applicability in software engineering education. Thus, we conducted a slightly adopted API Design Fest with students and report on initial insights. While we find the overall event and its API design activities suitable, we recommend extended preparation on breaking changes for future API Design Fests with students.

Understanding the Purpose of Source-Code Scopes Based on API Classifications
Seifer, Philipp; Gorjatschev, Katharina; Lämmel, Ralf
API classifications can give semantic hints regarding the purpose of source-code scopes. In this extended abstract, we present a number of research challenges related to comprehending the purpose of source code utilizing API classifications. We demonstrate preliminary work on applying Maven metadata (e.g., MCR categories) to different scopes in source code and detecting implications between combined usage of APIs; we visualize results as colored treemaps.
