Aims and Scope: ---------------
Today, software development is conducted in increasingly turbulent business environments. Typically, fast-changing and unpredictable markets, complex and changing customer requirements, pressures of shorter time-to-market, and rapidly advancing information technologies are characteristics found in most software development projects. To address this situation, agile practices advocate flexibility, efficiency and speed.
While many software development companies have indeed succeeded in adopting agile practices in parts of their organisation, the focus for many organisations is predominantly at the team level. The other functions in the organisation, including customer relations, product management, R&D management and software release, in many companies still work in traditional slow cycles, measured in months and years.
Continuous software engineering refers to the organisational capability to develop, release and learn from software in rapid parallel cycles, typically hours, days or very small numbers of weeks. This includes determining new functionality to build, prioritising the most important functionality, evolving and refactoring the architecture, developing the functionality, validating it, releasing it to customers and collecting experimental feedback from the customers to inform the next cycle of development.
In summary, as reaching the goal of continuous software engineering is a holistic endeavour, it cannot be addressed only by research in the area of process aspects in software engineering, specifically, agile software development processes. Instead, it requires additionally to address the following three aspects:
* The technology for all different phases of software engineering like requirements engineering, architecture and design, implementation, and validation and verification must be adapted to support for parallel engineering of software.
* The whole research and development organisation must adapt to be compatible with the agile process in the development teams.
* Approaches for live experimentation must be available and the results must be appropriately fed back into the artefacts of the different phases which are affected by the results of the live experimentation.
Consequently, the workshop aims to bring the research communities of the aforementioned areas together to exchange challenges, ideas, and solutions to bring software engineering a step further to being a holistic continuous process.
RCoSE 2014 is co-located with ICSE 2014, the International Conference on Software Engineering, in Hyderabad, India. RCoSE will be a highly interactive workshop with a strong emphasis on discussions.
As a summary, topics relevant to the scope of the workshop include rapid continuous software engineering as described above and specifically the following:
* agile practices * relations between agile practices and the specific development phases, e.g., requirements engineering, architectural design, programming languages, validation and verification * organisational aspects of agile processes * tools supporting continuous software engineering * application / system monitoring * live and automatic experimentation and quick feedback of experimental results * usability / human computer interaction * software evolution * software maintenance
