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The submissions should report unpublished, original work, in any of the following categories: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