Conference Overview and Theme
-------------------------------

Software engineering teams and companies are increasingly becoming truly
global. The diversity of culture and the 
geographical and temporal dispersion require novel techniques, tools, and
practices from many disciplines to address 
the challenges and fully exploit the opportunities of global software
engineering.

The 6th International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE) will
bring together researchers, 
practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent,
innovative, and significant findings and 
experiences in the field of global software engineering research and
practice. The main theme for the 2011 edition 
of ICGSE is:

Main Theme: Global Software Engineering Challenges for the Next Decade

The ICGSE2011 organizing committee invites academic and corporate
researchers and industrial practitioners to 
contribute to the expertise of the global software engineering community by
submitting papers and contributing to 
other colocated events. The topics of interest for submitting papers
include, but are not limited to:

- Strategic issues in distributed development: business models (offshoring,
nearshoring, outsourcing etc.), business 
case development, work distribution models, supplier selection and
management, governance frameworks for distributed 
environment, cost-benefit-risk analysis;
- Managing and governing distributed software development: planning, team
building, project and SLA management, 
managing diversity, measurements and evaluation;
- Methods and tools for distributed software development: requirements
engineering, design, coding, verification, 
testing and maintenance, development governance;
- Communication, coordination and collaboration challenges and solutions;
- Knowledge management in distributed development; 
- Getting started with global software engineering;
- Empirical studies and lessons learnt from distributed development;
- Software Process paradigms in the global environment (planned, agile etc);
- Teaching global software development;
- Human behaviors in distributed development environments.
- Role of cultural diversity and cultural intelligence in global software
development. 

The submissions should report unpublished, original work, in any of the
following categories:

- Research papers that describe theoretical frameworks, technical solutions,
or empirical studies (Maximum length 10 
pages). 
- Industry papers that describe problems faced, solutions implemented,
challenges encountered, and lessons learned 
in industrial global software engineering environments (Maximum length 5
pages). 
- Educational papers that report experiences in teaching global software
engineering in academic or coroproate 
environments (Maximum length 5 pages). 

All submissions will be handled electronically through Cyberchairpro. Papers
should conform to the two-column IEEE 
CS Press format(http://www2.computer.org/portal/ web/cscps/formatting) and
be submitted as PDF files. Accepted 
papers will be published in the conference proceedings by IEEE CS Press and
be available in the IEEE CS Digital 
Library. Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of
the papers for a special section of the 
information and software technology journal. Those papers will go through
the normal review process of the journal. 

Other contributions

We also invite proposals for doctoral symposium, tutorials, workshops,
panels, and posters. Further information and 
updates will be available on the conference website: http://www.icgse.org
