ICSOB2022 – Software for Digital Transformation
The International Conference on Software Business (ICSOB) attracts
both researchers and practitioners who are concerned with
software-intensive business in different ways, and brings them
together to share their findings and experiences from the field of
software-intensive business.
Theme of the year: Software for Digital Transformation
Digital transformation has become a key priority for businesses to
evolve to continuously changing market demands. Digital
transformations typically require deep organizational, structural,
cultural, and technological change in order to survive. This can
fundamentally redefine key organizational activities and values in
response to new opportunities through the exploration and
exploitation of software business and innovation. Yet, the ongoing
acceleration of digital technologies in today’s software-enabled
business environment poses not only opportunities but also major
challenges for organizations to continuously invest in and embed
digital transformations merely to survive and compete.
The theme of ICSOB2022 is Software for Digital Transformation.
Research about software for digital transformations addresses a
wide range of concerns ranging from software products, software
teams, software deployment, software startups, agility, strategy
and business models, among many others. As a contemporary topic,
digital transformation presents an intersection between the
software engineering, information systems, and business
communities.
