Call for Papers: Special Issue of IEE Proceedings - Software "Open Source Software Engineering"
Open Source Software (OSS) was initially catapulted into mainstream awareness by the phenomenal growth of products like Linux, Apache, and Perl, and by the highly visible support of companies like Netscape, IBM, Apple, and SGI. Over the last two years there has likewise been a marked increase in the academic and scientific investigation of the phenomenon. Despite its growing profile, there remains a demonstrated need for rigorous analysis of OSS, particularly of the methods and tools which characterise and support the OSS development process.
Papers representing original, completed research into any aspect of Open Source Software Engineering are solicited. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
OSS Development Life-Cycles, Methods and Tools Configuration Management in OSS Requirements Engineering in OSS Systems Analysis and Design in OSS Evaluation and Testing in OSS Maintenance and Evolution in OSS OSS Software Architectures Comparisons of OSS Development with Traditional Software Engineering Paradigms Applications of OSS Development Concepts within Traditional Software Companies Knowledge Management and Community Dynamics in OSS Development OSS Development and Software Engineering Education
The Special Issue will be published in early 2002. The editors of the special issue are:
Joseph Feller, Business Information Systems, University College Cork, Ireland. Brian Fitzgerald, Executive Systems Research Centre (ESRC), University College Cork, Ireland. AndrÊ van der Hoek, Department of Information and Computer Science/Institute for Software Research, University of California Irvine.
Complete papers should be submitted in Word or PDF format by email to jfeller@afis.ucc.ie no later than July 31, 2001. This deadline is ABSOLUTE.
The email message should contain the title of paper, name(s) of all author(s) with affiliation(s) and full postal and email address(es) of all authors.
The paper should contain only the title of the paper and an abstract of not more than 200 words. The body of the paper should be 4000-6000 words. The body should be divided into numbered headings and sub-headings, starting with the introduction, and using decimal numbering for sub-headings (3.1, 3.2 etc.). It is generally preferable not to go beyond the second classification in this system. Acknowledgments (if any) should appear at the end of the paper, followed by the list of references numbered in order of citation.
