Call for Participation

Software development endeavors that cross national borders are
pervasive in a wide range of industries
from software and IT to automotives and aeronautics. The increased
globalization of software
development creates software engineering challenges due to the impact
of a wide range of factors such as
distance, time zones, or diversity of culture and communication.
Addressing these challenges requires
novel and effective technical and organizational approaches in order
to archive the ever increasing
demands on productivity and quality.

The 5th International Conference on Global Software Engineering
(ICGSE) to take place in Princeton,
New Jersey, August 23-26, 2010, provides the perfect setting for
bringing together researchers and
practitioners interested in understanding how globally distributed
product development team work, the
challenge they face and, more importantly, how to improve them.

The ICGSE conference series has a strong track record of presenting
high quality research as well as best
practices from academic and industrial communities and ICGSE 2010 is
no exception. This year have a
strong program composed of a doctoral symposium, posters, 3 workshops,
5 tutorials, 3 highly regarded
keynote speakers, a panel discussion as well as 28 research,
industrial and educational presentations.
Conference attendees will get a unique opportunity to learn about the
current state of practice distributed
software development as well as new thoughts and trends that will
shape the future of software
development.

Global Software Engineering
DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM
Princeton, NJ, USA

Important Dates

Deadline for submission: Feb 26, 2010
Notification of acceptance: April 23, 2010
Camera ready due: May 28, 2010

Goal and Scope

     The Doctoral Symposium aims to create a forum for PhD students working
on foundations, techniques, methods and tools in the area of global software
engineering. It will provide participants with an opportunity to present and
to discuss their research with senior researchers of the global software
engineering community in a constructive and friendly atmosphere.
Specifically, the symposium aims to:

    * Provide a setting whereby students receive feedback on their research
and guidance on future directions from the Doctoral Symposium Panel,
    * Foster the creation of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit
of collaborative research, and
    * Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other
researchers at the main conference.

     The Doctoral Symposium is intended for students who have not yet
completed their dissertation research and do not expect to write up their
dissertation before the conference. Students should consider participating
in the Doctoral Symposium, after having settled on a dissertation topic and
having obtained initial research results.

     In addition to scientific matters, students will have the opportunity
to seek advice on various aspects of completing a PhD and performing
research as a young professional in software engineering.

     The Doctoral Symposium has the same scope of technical topics as the
main ICGSE conference.

Submissions and Evaluation

     To apply for participation at the symposium, you should prepare a
submission package consisting of the two parts listed below.

Part 1: Research proposal (2 pages in ICGSE format and submitted as PDF
files.) submitted by email to Jurgen Munch (Juergen.Muench@iese.fraunhofer.de):

    * Your name and contact information (you and dissertation advisor)
    * Title of your research
    * Research area and sub-area of your work
    * Brief description of your research proposal indicating the problem
addressed and approach taken (if defined) (25 words or less)
    * Description of the research problem and its importance in the field
    * Brief survey of background and related work, as well as current
solutions/approaches
    * Description of the research issue/focus
    * Detailed description of proposed methodology
    * Results achieved so far (if any)
    * The expected contributions of your research
    * Description of research evaluation methods and your plan to present
evidence of contribution to knowledge in the research community

     Students at relatively early stages in their research will have some
difficulty addressing all these areas in detail; this is understood.

Part 2: Letter of Support (from your research advisor), submitted by email
to Jurgen Munch.
     The letter must include your name and an assessment of the current
status of your thesis research and stage in the doctoral program, as well as
an expected date for dissertation submission.
     Submissions will be reviewed by the co-chairs and selected for
inclusion in the symposium on the following criteria:

    * Quality of the research proposal (research problem, hypothesis and
methodology)
    * Relevance to conference topics
    * Quality of proposal presentation
    * Diversity of background, research topic and approach
    * Stage of research (students will be selected across a range of
research stages)


Presentation and publication of research proposal

     Symposium participants are expected to present their proposal during
the Symposium, as well as prepare and present a poster about their proposal
during the Poster Session at the Conference. The 2-page proposal will be
included in the Conference Proceedings. Registration at the conference is
required for proposal to be printed in the Proceedings.

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 5th 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-10 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 2010, 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, 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;
- Knowledge management in distributed development;
- Getting started with global software engineering;
- Empirical studies and  lessons learnt on distributed development;
- Software Process paradigms in the global environment (planned, agile
  etc);
- Teaching global software development;
- Human behaviors in distributed development environments.

Paper submission

Submissions are invited for technical papers describing 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 track papers that describe problems, lessons learned,
  solutions implemented and challenges encountered in industrial global
  software engineering environments. Maximum length 5 pages.
- Educational papers that report experiences in teaching global
  software engineering. This includes not only education at the
  university level, but also corporate training.  Maximum length 5
  pages.

All submissions will be handled electronically through www.icgse.org.
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.

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.
