Empirical Studies of Programmers Workshops

• Held about every 18 months; first meeting held in 1986.
• Focus: The original purpose of the workshop was to bring researchers doing empirical studies of programmers together for face to face sharing of ideas. Today the ESP workshop is still the only meeting which focuses exclusively on empirical studies of programming.
