CALL FOR PAPERS

Track on Innovation in Software Development http://seaa2011.oulu.fi/index.php/innosd

special track of the

2011 International Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications (SEAA 2011) http://seaa2011.oulu.fi/

August 30 to September 2, 2011 Oulu, Finland

This session is aimed at studying how innovation happens in software development groups.

In this session we consider innovation as a new manner of production of software. In software development, innovation can be of different types. Some examples of types of innovations (not a complete list) in software development are:

* Use of a new programming language, or development tool, or a bug-tracking tool (category tools) * A new processes or change of development process (category process); * A new design method (e.g. based on Object Orientation rather than on functional decomposition) (category method) * A new code- or test-generation technique (category techniques) * The use of or migration towards cloud-computing or SOA (architectural style/pattern)

Innovations may be the collective choice of a team, or the choice of an individual.

This survey is not aimed at functional innovations of software products; thus: adding a new feature to a program is not considered an innovation from this sessions’ perspective.

For this session we solicit papers describing research regarding:

* Case studies and experience reports regarding: * Open source as a source of innovation * Use of migration towards cloud-computing, or SOA * The introduction of/transition towards Model-driven development * The introduction of new testing techniques * The introduction of iterative development process * The introduction of agile development practices

Studies on the innovation process and management of innovation

* Management of innovation in software development * Studies of diffusion/adoption of innovation in software development * Which types of innovations are popular for which types of software development groups ? * Relation between innovation and development styles (agile, iterative, CMMI, ...) * Innovation ecosystems * The role of universities for innovation in industrial innovation in software development. * Impact of innovation in software development on performance of IT-departments/business
