Description

The challenging issues arising in the field of global software engineering projects require novel approaches in risk analysis, project planning, and methods in order to handle the bounded financial and technical risks.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and professionals interested in global software development to discuss and exchange ideas. In particular, this workshop takes the perspective of the practitioner and focuses on the techniques that will help software professionals to meet the unique challenges in a global development environment. Thus, the major goal of this workshop is to discuss novel methodologies for project management in global software development. Additionally, we want to provide a platform bringing together researches and practitioners in order to share their knowledge and requirements in the field of global software development.

The challenges that are coupled with the management of distributed software development projects call for new process models, techniques, methodologies and tools. This workshop focuses on multiple aspects of management of distributed software development.

Topics of interest to the conference include the following aspects of global software engineering projects (but are not restricted to):

- requirement engineering for globally distributed software development projects - requirement description in globally distributed software development projects - multi-sourcing in global software development - quality metrics form globally distributed projects - risk management / risk modeling / risk analysis of offshore projects - process for planning and execution - organizational models and strategies - project portfolio management - communication models for distributed software development teams - causalities between critical success factors - metrics for critical success factors - problem handling during project work - outsourcing / offshoring contracts - decision support systems - strategic planning - project planning and preparations - simulation

Target Audience

- requirement engineers - software engineers - computer scientists - business process engineers - project managers

Paper submission

Papers must be submitted electronically by email to Dr. Juho Maekioe (maekioe@fzi.de). Your paper must conform to the IEEE proceedings publication format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format) described at IEEE/CPS.
