4th IEEE International Conference on Global Software Engineering -
ICGSE-09

Limerick, Ireland, July 13-16, 2009

Call for Papers
Solutions for Global Software Engineering challenges

Software and IT industries are today truly global - and so is software
engineering. The diversity of culture and the dispersion over time and
space require novel techniques, tools, and practices from many
disciplines
to overcome challenges and to take advantage of opportunities global
software engineering offers.
The 4th International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE)
will bring together researchers and practitioners interested in
exploring
how globally distributed teams work and how the challenges can be met.
The ICGSE-09 organizing committee invites the academic and industrial
communities to contribute to the expertise of the international global
software engineering community. Conference attendees will get an
opportunity to explore the current state of practice in this area as
well
as new thoughts and trends that will shape the future. In 2009, to
increase
the focus on Industry, we are including an industry track, for which
papers
will be separately reviewed.

Topics of interest include , but are not restricted to:

• Strategic issues in distributed development: business models (offshoring, nearshoring, outsourcing etc.), business case development, work distribution models, supplier selection and management, cost-benefit- risk analysis;
• Managing 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;
• Communication, coordination and collaboration;
• Knowledge management in distributed development;
• Getting started with global software engineering;
• Empirical studies of distributed teams and lessons learnt;
• Software Process paradigms in the global environment (planned, agile, etc.);
• Teaching global software development.
