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

We are soliciting full research papers (up to 10 pages) and position
papers (up to 6 pages). Full research papers present original and
evaluated research whereas position papers describe novel ideas,
identified challenges, or experiences related to the workshop's theme.
The paper has to follow ICSE 2014 formatting and submission
instructions: http://2014.icse-conferences.org/format
Please submit your abstract and paper using the EasyChair page for the
workshop: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=rcose2014
Special Issue:
-------------------------
The authors of the best papers of the workshop will be invited to
submit a revised and extended version of their paper to a special issue in
the
Journal "Science of Computer Programming" subject to further review.
