CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd International Workshop on Software-intensive Business:
Start-ups, Platforms and Ecosystems (IWSiB)
http://iwsib.org/
Hosted by ESEC/FSE 2019 (
http://esec-fse19.ut.ee/)
Monday August 26, 2019 - Tallinn, Estonia
The role of software-intensive business solutions is still, after
decades, ever-growing in our society. There is hardly a field or
an industrial domain where software-intensive solutions have not
revolutionized the business. Furthermore, due to the emergence of
the platform economy, the role of software solutions and boundary
resources, such as the quality of APIs, is rising. In this context
software producing organizations face the challenges of changing
demands, rapidly evolving technology, and a dynamic ecosystem in
which their products and services need to operate. Organizations
need to rethink their operating models and benefit from current
and future trends.
The challenge to make these organizations successful is
multi-disciplinary. First, there exist software engineering and
technology challenges, such as eliciting and prioritizing
requirements, dealing with platforms and technology standards, and
operating in complex technology landscapes that constrain and
enable their technology. Secondly, there exist adoption
challenges: organizations need to find ways to convince their
target users to adopt their technologies and to coordinate
evolving technologies to provide the most valuable end-user
experience. Thirdly, there exist business model challenges, where
these organizations must find ways to maximize profit from their
innovations and technologies. Because of the pervasiveness of
software, the challenges are observed everywhere in the economy,
whether it is logistics, online marketing, or e-health.
Furthermore, they are applicable to organizations in every stage
of development, whether it is a software startup or a software
giant that has influenced the market consistently for decades.
The International Workshop on Software-Intensive Business:
Start-ups, Platforms and Ecosystems (IWSiB) aims to bridge the
current gap between software engineering and business. Software
engineering methods, processes and tools should support and
facilitate fast and agile business development. The goals of this
workshop are to provide a venue for members of the software
engineering and business research communities to discuss issues
relevant of common interest and provide a venue for sharing early
work and work-in-progress to obtain feedback from the wider
community.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the
following aspects of software-intensive business:
- Software ecosystem and platform architectures, evolution and
lifecycle
- Ecosystem and platform orchestration and governance API economy
solutions and challenges
- Software development practices in software startups
- Business-oriented software development practices
- Business practices in software development
- Software product management
- Business aspects of continuous, agile and lean development
- Software engineering economics
- Value-based software engineering
- Organizational practices in software businesses
- Observations of software industry and its trends
- Interweaving product and business development
- Impact of new technological and business model trends on
software-intensive businesses
- Industrial experience reports on challenges and best practices
that connect software engineering and business
The workshop seeks submissions describing novel research,
experience reports, as well as emerging ideas and new research
questions. The focus of the workshop is on new promising ideas
and, therefore, also preliminary results and work-in-progress
reports are welcome to ignite discussion.
We want to encourage submissions of contributions describing
different stages of research, from position papers to full
research reports. We invite two paper categories:
- Full papers (maximum 6 pages, ACM style)
- Position, poster and demo papers (2-4 pages)
Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, relevance to
the workshop, and potential for discussion. Three members from the
international program committee will review each submission.
Important dates:
Submission: June 3, 2019
Notification of acceptance: June 24, 2019
Camera-ready: July 1, 2019
Submissions:
