Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering - Workshop at ICSE 09 Vancouver, Canada

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

http://softwareresearch.ca/seg/CHASE2009/

Theme ===== Software is created by people - software engineers working in varied environments, under various conditions. Thus understanding the cooperative and human aspects of software development is crucial to understanding how methods and tools are used, and thereby improving both the creation and maintenance of software. Recently, a renaissance is occurring in this research area, with a large amount of research being published in software engineering venues as well as other research discourses. Thus the time is ripe to bring together researchers to share knowledge, and further build the research area.

The goal of this workshop is therefore to provide a forum for discussing high quality research on the cooperative and human aspects of software engineering, as well as a meeting place for the nascent community that is currently distributed over several research domains (e.g. HCI, SE, CSCW, and IS).

Topics of Interest ================== include but are not limited to:

* Software engineering as cooperative work, * Social and cultural aspects of software engineering, * Psychological and cognitive aspects of software engineering, * Managerial and organizational aspects of software engineering * Coordination of large scale software development, * Cooperation between software developers and other professionals over the lifetime of a system. * Knowledge management in software engineering.

Submission ========== Prospective participants are invited to submit position papers on a topic of relevance using the same format required for the ICSE technical papers (posted at http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/events/icse2009/calls/format/). Three types of submissions are invited. Eight-page Research papers go into detail about the research, 4-page Notes papers discuss preliminary findings, and 1-page Topic papers should cover very preliminary results or research ideas. Please see http://softwareresearch.ca/seg/CHASE2009/ for additional submission instructions.

Important Dates =============== * 21 January - deadline for workshop paper submission * 12 February - notification of acceptance by workshop chairs * 19 February - camera-ready deadline for workshop papers
