Description of Minitrack
In order to develop and deliver high-quality products to their
customers,
software organizations are adopting innovative methods (Kanban,
Lean) and
Continuous Development processes such continuous delivery,
continuous
deployment, and microservices to support an agile software
development
lifecycle. For example, the DevOps (Development + Operations)
phenomenon
emerged to address the disconnection between development and
operations
functions that can occur in large organizations particularly when
they
adopt agile software development lifecycles.
The choice of these innovative development methods and approaches
have a
high impact on the planning, development, operations, and delivery
of
systems. They can also influence the structure or culture of
organizations
as common organizational processes and development activities have
to be
adapted to ensure Continuous Development.
Therefore, a better understanding of the factors that influence
the
effective implementation of these innovative methods is needed. We
need
empirical evidence of achieving (or not) the intended goals and
outcomes on
all of the topics that fall under the umbrella of “Continuous
Development”.
These and other related topics will be explored in this minitrack.
We are seeking high-quality research papers for this track that
investigate
various aspects of contemporary innovative development methods
(Lean,
Kanban) and Continuous development. Possible topics include, but
are not
limited to:
- Continuous improvement with Lean and Kanban
- Continuous Development processes (continuous delivery,
continuous release
and deployment, continuous measurement and improvement)
- Automation (build and test automation, deployment automation,
monitoring
automation, infrastructure automation)
- Effective practices in Continuous Development
- Challenges implementing Continuous Development processes and
activities
- Cultural enablers of DevOps (shared goals and understanding,
continuous
experimentation and learning, shared values, respect and trust,
and
collective ownership)
- Organisational issues for Continuous development
- DevOps in large enterprises
- Industrial experience with Continuous development
- Teaching DevOps and Continuous Development
Submission Process
Full paper submissions (<5000 words, excluding references,
tables, and
figures) and Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers (<3500 words,
excluding
references, tables, and figures) must be made electronically
through
Manuscript Central. Papers will be peer reviewed using a
double-blind
system.
