Initially, they are often small and simple, but, over time, they can become very complex. In many ways, spreadsheets are similar to &#8220;professional&#8221; software: both concern the storage and manipulation of data, and the presentation of results to the user. But unlike in &#8220;professional&#8221; software, activities like design, implementation, and maintenance in spreadsheets have to be undertaken by end users, not trained professional developers. This makes applying methods and techniques from other software domains a challenging task.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p align=\"justify\">The role of International Workshop on Software Engineering Methods in Spreadsheets (SEMS) is to provide an annual event where researchers can meet and exchange their ideas. SEMS serves as a platform for early feedback for new techniques and tools. The SEMS program will include a keynote, the presentation of short and long research papers, tool demonstrations, and a discussion session. The intended audience is a mixture of spreadsheet researchers and professionals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"column\">Accepted papers<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"column\">Jorge Mendes and Jo\u00e3o Saraiva: <em>&#8220;Tabula: A Language to Model Spreadsheet Tables&#8221;<\/em> (paper available <a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/1707.02833\">here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li class=\"column\">Daniel Kulesz, Verena K\u00e4fer and Stefan Wagner: <em>&#8220;How Spreadsheet Users Maintain Unknown Spreadsheets&#8221; (paper available <a href=\"https:\/\/pure.tue.nl\/ws\/files\/69763287\/IS_EUD2017_extended_abstracts.pdf#page=44\">here<\/a>)<\/em><\/li>\n<li class=\"column\">Paul Mireault: <em>&#8220;Implementing GROUP BY Operations as Spreadsheet Formulas&#8221;<\/em> (paper available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/317968325_Implementing_GROUP_BY_Calculations_as_Spreadsheet_Formulas\">here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li class=\"column\">Aleksy Schubert, Jacek Sroka and Jerzy Tyszkiewicz: <em>&#8220;Systematic Programming in a Spreadsheet&#8221; (paper available <a href=\"https:\/\/pure.tue.nl\/ws\/files\/69763287\/IS_EUD2017_extended_abstracts.pdf#page=11\">here<\/a>)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Proceedings<\/h3>\n<p>The proceeding can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/pure.tue.nl\/ws\/files\/69763287\/IS_EUD2017_extended_abstracts.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spreadsheets are heavily used in industry as they are easy to create and evolve.
