-------------------------------------------------------------------

We are proud to announce a Research Stage at the Agile India 2012
conference to be held in February 7-9, 2012 in Bengaluru, India.
Sponsored by the Agile Alliance, Agile India 2012 is a premier
international event on Agile Software Development for researchers and
practitioners alike.

We invite researchers to submit their contributions to the Research
Stage. We aim at bridging the gap between research and practice, and
encourage submission of case studies, action research studies,
grounded theory studies, experiments, surveys and literature reviews.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Architecture and Design
- Customer Collaboration
- Distributed Teams
- Large-scale Studies of Agile Practice
- Lean Principles and Applications
- Management and Business Issues
- Self-organization and Self-management
- Leadership
- Coaching and Mentoring
- Team Dynamics and Culture
- Tools and Applications
- User Experience and Interaction Design
- Agile in the Classrooms

There are two types of submissions invited for the Agile India 2012 conference:

Full-paper: We invite researchers to submit original research work
that has led to significant and validated results. Full-papers are
limited to 10 pages. Authors are required to describe motivation for
research, research design/method and results. A discussion of
background and related literature is recommended. Authors of accepted
full-papers will be invited to give a short presentation at the
conference.

Short-paper: We invite researchers to submit original research work
that explore new ideas and/or have emerging results. Short-papers are
limited to 4 pages. Authors of accepted short-papers will be invited
to prepare a poster summarizing their work.

Submission and Review
----------------------------------
Papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, by
reviewers selected from the program committee. Both full-papers and
short-papers will be published in the electronic proceedings and
indexed in IEEE Xplore. Papers must follow the IEEE Proceedings format
to be reviewed (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting).
Author information must be removed from submissions. Submissions must
be in PDF format.

Papers must be submitted via the EasyChair submission system by 15th
October 2011:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ai2012

Upon notification of acceptance, all authors of accepted papers will
be asked to complete a copyright form and will receive further
instructions for preparing their camera ready version. At least one
author of each paper is expected to register and present the results
at Agile India 2012.
