一句话：分析2015--2018年顶级软件工程会议与期刊中人类价值观研究的覆盖情况，发现直接相关论文占比很低。
本文关注软件工程中对人类价值观（如平等、公平）的忽视问题，指出若在软件开发生命周期中不加以工程化支持，会导致用户不满和负面社会经济影响。作者调查了2015--2018年顶级软件工程会议与期刊中相关研究的普遍程度，将出版物按照社会科学中广泛使用的价值观结构进行相关性分类。结果显示：仅有小部分出版物直接考虑价值观，可归类为直接相关；对大多数价值观而言，直接相关出版物极少甚至没有；且会议中直接相关出版物的普遍程度高于期刊。文章分享这些发现以激励未来软件工程中人类价值观研究。
Failure to account for human values in software (e.g., equality and fairness) can result in user dissatisfaction and negative socio-economic impact. Engineering these values in software, however, requires technical and methodological support throughout the development life cycle. This paper investigates to what extent top Software Engineering (SE) conferences and journals have included research on human values in SE. We investigate the prevalence of human values in recent (2015 -- 2018) publications in these top venues. We classify these publications, based on their relevance to different values, against a widely used value structure adopted from the social sciences. Our results show that: (a) only a small proportion of the publications directly consider values, classified as directly relevant publications; (b) for the majority of the values, very few or no directly relevant publications were found; and (c) the prevalence of directly relevant publications was higher in SE conferences compared to SE journals. This paper shares these and other insights that may motivate future research on human values in software engineering.
