Workshop Description
Increased globalization of software development creates software engineering challenges due to the impact of temporal, geographical and cultural differences, and requires development of techniques and technologies to address these issues. The goal of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for researchers and industry practitioners to explore both the state-of-the art and the state-of-the-practice in global software development (GSD). The workshop will foster interaction between practitioners and researchers and help grow a community of interest in this area. Practitioners experiencing challenges in GSD are invited to share their concerns and successful solutions, and learn will have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the key issues facing practitioners and share their work in progress with others in the field.
The workshop is a continuation of the last five ICSE workshops on the same topic. Our workshop at ICSE last year, after changing the title from the technology-focused "Software Engineering over the Internet" to the more general "Global Software Development", showed increased interest from the software practitioners and generated fruitful discussions between industry and academia. The report summarizing these discussions can be found at here
This year at ICSE 2003 we want to continue and draw upon this interaction between academia and industry in addressing the issues of Global Software Development. We thus solicit two types of papers:
(1) position papers (1-2 pages) that describe a statement of interest, a concern or challenge, or a research opportunity
(2) technical papers (3-5 pages) that describe experience reports, technological solutions or methodological approaches.
Paper selection will be based on relevance to the workshop topic and potential to generate discussion.
Topics of submission may include, but are not limited to:
- Empirical evaluations of effectiveness of global software projects
- Technologies & tools for distributed development environments
- Software engineering methodologies & processes for GSD
- Communication, collaboration, and knowledge management in distributed organizations
