Call for Papers SoftwareTrends.ch
Open Space Symposium for Business, Education and Research
Business Strategy Based Software Engineering
20-22 September 2001 in Gersau at the lovely Lake Lucerne, Switzerland
*** http://www.softwaretrends.ch *** *** Extended Deadline April, 25 ***
SCOPE
Enterprises heavily rely on successful software solutions to implement their business strategies. A smart business idea converted into a global Internet service may conquer the business world swiftly and reconfigure a whole business sector. Take Napster or B2B-marketplaces as examples. Furthermore, enterprise software is becoming more and more integrated as it supports business strategy. Examples of this include Intranets, extranets, enterprise information portals, knowledge management systems, PPM, ERP and Customer Relationship Management systems. In order to develop such complex software systems time-to-market, mature software engineering is increasingly becoming the critical issue in any software business strategy. Software engineering comprises the development of a product strategy, requirements engineering, modeling, implementation, maintenance and choices of paradigms, architectures and technology - often in an incremental and evolving process with short cycles and within a context of rapid technological advances, organizational transitions and changing markets. Management of an organization thus also means management of the software engineering process. We call for papers that present an original contribution to software engineering and that explore the trends, the forthcoming issues and open questions in software business. This Open Space Symposium aims at bringing together people from both business and software engineering perspectives, people in industry, education and science. Our goal is to explore the future trends and to work jointly on open questions posed by the participants.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Business models and their relation to software engineering: open source, ASP,... - Software engineering methods and processes: UML, RUP, eXtreme Programming... - Requirements, knowledge and quality management in software engineering, ... - Software architectures and programming paradigms: agent-oriented and component based design, design patterns, peer-to-peer computing ... - Software engineering for information systems, e-commerce, e-business, e-government, mobile and multi-media systems, web-engineering, .... - Software engineering education - Case studies, empirical studies, best practices and lessons learned
IMPORTANT DEADLINES: Submissions: April 25, 2001 (Extended Deadline) Notification: June 1, 2001 Final version: August 1, 2001 Symposium: September 20-22, 2001
What is Open Space? Participants contribute with their expert knowledge and show openly their current problems. Unlike classical conferences, Open Space starts where presentations end - with open questions: - instead of presenting ready-made solutions, people discuss in a team a problem of common interest, - topics of discussion are not a-priori defined by the organizers, they are provided during the open space by attendees, - a discussion on a topic is ongoing as long as it is interesting for the group or a satisfactory solution is found. All together: Open Space does not reflect the research accomplished in the past. It provides knowledge and support to manage the challenges of today.
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Submissions describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and are 6-8 pages in length. A submission may contain an extra appendix that details the subject and is considered for the review. A submission comprises a section motivating and discussing open questions, trends, future issues and challenges in the subject. Submissions have to include a title, authors, affiliations, and a 150-word abstract and are written in English or German. One author of each accepted paper must register for the conference. For details on the submission see www.softwaretrends.ch
